market opened to 10 cents lower with
December S2l6 10 1921, and March

come from country holders anxious TO

few minutes, however, the market
bounded as much as u cents upward
For the first time since trading in
futures was resumed the pit was filled
with traders. Business was on big
scale. The rush to sell appeared based
largely on unfayorable financial re
ports especially from the southwest.
There had been severe fresh break
in sterling exchange and, contrary tc
expectations the British. royal com.
mission was said to be still absent
from the export market.

ATTACK GREEKS
Offensive Started Along 60-Mile

Are to Act With Greeks.

Constantinople, Aug. 3 tBy the As

forces opened a bitter offensive against

NAV.
Greek forces in Anatolia are being
reinforced from Thrace and, in con
junction with British aetachments,
have advanced eastward from Ismid to
Adabazar. The impression is growing
here that the Greeks and British will
counter against the Turkish action in
the Smyrna district with movements
OF their forces through Anatolisn and
Black sea ports, thus taking railways
and occupying all strategic points.
Izzet Pasha, former grand vizier, has
been commissioned by the Sultan's gov
ernment to go to Angora and attempt
to reconcile the nationalists.
Desperate attacks against Greek
forces, which had advanced beyond
their area of occupation were made
on Sunday by the nationalists at 81
NAV, about ITO miles northeast Of
Smyrna. The action lasted "a hours
and the Greeks were obliged to retreat
having lost 80 dead and 100 wounded
They were not pursued.
