British Government, Supported

UJltimatun4to Turkey.
(By Associated Press.)


LONDON, May "A Cabinet council
was held late to- daylto discuss the event.
ualitles which possibly may arise as
result OF an ultimatum presented to
Turkey.
The British amba ssador at Constants
nople yesterday presented a note to Tur-
key demanding the prompt withdrawal Of
the Turkish troops from Egyptian terri
tory. The note is practically an ulti-
matun and constitutes Great Britain's
last word on the encroachmento of Turkey
on the sinaiuc peninsula. The French
and Russian ambassadors at Constants
nople are supporting. the British conten-
lions.
Should the ultimatum fail to have the
desired effect the British Mediterranean
feet will take the measure SO often en-
ployed by the powers in recent years as
the result Of disputes with the Sultan,
and a naval, demonstration, 1t Is anticl-
patcd will quickly bring about the evacu-
alton OF the Tabnh territory which Great
Britain contends is unquestionably Egyp-
tian territory.
s'The Sutton was given ten days In which
10 comply with the i British demand for
the withdrawal Of his troops from Tabah
and other points on the Sinai peninsula,
pending the ILLUMINATION Of the frontier
by commission.

4 PRODUCE MARKET.
Not Quite So Much Money Re.
a1ired for To-daY's Marketing.

Business was very active on Cary, Street
yesterday. The receipts OF country pro-
duce were larger than on the day before
and the demand decidedly more active.
Retail dealers and market men were in
search OF stock to supply the Saturday
demand for the proverbial Sunday din
ner, and the commission men had but
little trouble In cleaning up their stocks
OF vegetables and other good things to
eat
While the market was very active.
there were no material changes in 1.-The
price list. OF course. there were 3excep-
t!ons 10 this rule. For instance. straw
berries are. away off, owing to the heavy
deliveries. Fine berries could be bought
yesterday almost at the bidders own
figures. Perhaps none wholesaled for less
than Ave cents per quart, but very few
went above that figure.
The increased demand and the excel
lent quality OF the goods received tended
to advance the figures on cabbage a
fraction. New potaties from the far
South, being little moro plentiful, went
OFT, a. shade in price. With these ex-
@ceptons tho wholesale market remained
about asst was.
Retail prices will, OF course be gauged
by the rulings on Cary Street. and so

mish around the markets for their Sun
day big dinner. may DO safe In taking
