then by upturns again.
Corn paralleled the action OF wheat.
After opening unchanged to = higher.

Lightness of corn receipts had con-
siderable bullish effect. The close was
steady at H to " net advance, with

turbances as serious as those which
have occurred in Korea within the last

which is striving to cut the Bagdad

Out of the mass of conflicting
statements reaching Paris, your cor

retaining control of the Dardanelles
lies in the defeat of Mustapha Kemal,

tanned the proportions of some of the
bloody conflicts of the late war, the
forces engaged numbering on the
Greek side 100000 and on the Turk
