1t may be assumed that the Upper
Silcsian row is ended, at least for the
present. The council of the League of
Nations has accepted the task Of soly-
ing the problems involved and already
has begun their discussion. Mean
while the British, French and Italian
governments have decided to send re-
endorsements to Upper Silesia and
have called on Germany to arrange
for their transportation.
The victorious progress of the
Greeks in Asia Minor toward Angora
came to a pause after they crossed the
Sakaria river Their right wing found
itself in the salt desert where water
was scarce and many of the men were
stricken with malaria. The Turks at
tackled and in three days fighting the
Greeks were forced back across the
Sakara and lost heavily in men and
material. At the same time they
found their communications threat
ened on the extreme left wing by the
capture Of Bilejik by the Kemalists.
However, the Greeks speedily rallied,
both on the right wing and in the cen
ter. and resumed their advance on
Angora. At this writing they are re-
ported as in contact with the Turkish
second line of defense at the Mia
river.

Wheat Prices Hit
By British Strikes;

Bears Gain Advantage in
Nervous Market; Talk
of Exporters Reselling;
Corn and Oats Weak

CHICAGO, April S.-Wheat prices
turned downward to-day, Influenced to
Il considerable extent by disturbed
labor conditions in Great Britain and
by gossip that exporters on the Amer
ican side of the Atlantic were offering
to resell. The market closed nervous
at / to 2Ac net lower with May $1.34
to s1.34A and July $1.11A to SLIP.
Corn lost 1s@Ac to ha@5sc. oats 1sc
to $50 nc, and provisions 15c to Csc.
From the outset industrial and crop
conditions gave the bears an increas-
ing advantage in the wheat market, but
especially so after definite announce
ment was received that railway en-
ployees and transport workers had
Joined in the British coal strike and
that army and navy reserves, together
with special police forces, were to be
mobilized Talk of exporters resellng
lacked verifcation, and there were es-
Inmates current that European inter
ests had purchased 400, 900 bushels of
wheat and $4,000 barrels of -four.
Corn and oats sympathized with the
weakness Of wheat, bat scantiness Of
arrivals operated as q check on de-
clnes.

few takers The downward tendency

the presence of considerable short

Sales Cited as EARNINGS"


Question - Inclosed is a renort ~ tho
Lyons Petroleum Company. A great many
people IN this part of the country CUIster
and l would like very much to have Vour
advice on it as speculation or invest
ment.-Cf II Il.
Answer-The Lyons Petroleum stock
IS a doubtful gamble, in our opinion.
The company has been paying dividends
and selling stock to raise the needed
new capital at the same time, and its
circular fails to say anything about
earnings, though under the caption
"Earnings' is mentioned the receipts
from sales. Net is omitted, whether
carefully or carelessly we do not
know. Furthermore, we do not see why
you should be asked to pay $3.50 a
share for the stock. Par is 81, and it
was quoted around that figure recently.

Answer-Cities Service preferred
stock is very fair investment, in our
opinion. The company is earning the
dividend about four times over. There
is always an element of speculation.
however, in any stock whose dividend
is so largely dependent on oil produc-
tlon. But this company sends a state
