 The market for refined was dull and unchanged at 21.00 to 22.50 for fine graduated.
 Futures were easier early under scattered liquidation with December selling at 11.70 or 65 points net low CT, due to the continued weakness in the spot market, but in the af- terneon there was a sharp rally with December selling 95 points above the low level, or at 12.65 on covering and buying by commission houses.

Turkey, Last of the Belligerents,
 Signs the Treaty

Savrcs, France, Aug. 10,-Turkey, thclast power to remain in state of war with the entente, signed the at peace. Serbia and Hediaz alone of the nations interested had refused to sign.
 It was a simple, sober ceremony. Premier Venizelos, although achiev- ing what is considered to have been one of his life ambitions affixed his signature to the three voluminous documents-the treaty itself, an Italo- Greek proctocal and proto- col on Asia Minor and the zones of influence, with trembling hand and sombre face, ascribed by some to illness and overwork. The three Turkish delegates looked away as the premier passed their seats, not lowing to him as they did to the other delegates.
 Count Zamoyski, Polish minister to Paris, who was among those who signed the documents, attracted as much attention as the actual cere- mony, being the center of inquiring groups as the delegates were signing their names.
 Premier Mlcrand opened the cere- mony with few words and then asked the Turkish delegates to sign. The business was concluded at 4:30 o'clock and the delegates hurried out through the soldier guard which presented arms as they filed past.

She was sure she had allowed herself to in- terfere with his plans. And he had been so good to her that she was hurt at discovering what she had done.
 He was lovely about it, of course. She saw that. It was just like him to insist that it was nothing that it did not matter, for she knew he was the most generous person in the world, just as she had told him numerous times. But she had seen worried lock on his face as he sat at the desk, writing the cable. She had seen him before he saw her.
