 On the basis of the reduction an- nounced today, corporation officials es- timated the average cut in wages at ap proXimately S1.40 per day. Roughly. this will affect a reduction in the payroll. calculated on the present number of employees, of not less than S15o,OOo 900 annually.

 Reductions in the prices of certain pro- ducts manufactured by the corporation averaging approximately $7 ton, were announced by MT. Gary on April 12, to take effecs the following day
 Ths heaviest reductions were recorded in tin plates, which dropped from $40 to S125 a ton. while the minimum de- crease affected 4x4 and heavier bil!ets which declHled from $3S.5O e ton.

THE ANCIENT CITY OF TROY.

Greeks are reported to be crossing over into Asia Minor to resist the forces of Mustapha Kemals army and take possession of the territory given them by the Treaty Of Serves. an eX- petition which recalls the memorable crossing of this people 5000 years ago, the subsequent siege of Troy, and the story of the wandering of Aeneasi the historic founder of the early Roman race.
 About an hour from the sea, near the Dardanclles, the ruins of the anci- ent city of Troy stand upon an emin cnce looking out over the plains where her immortal sons fell in her defense. At it's foot the Scamander winds to the sea" says Q bulletin from the Wash ington, D. C. headquarters of the Ma tional Geographic Society.
 Excavations on the site have re- vealcd nine cities, built ono upon the top of the other iu times past. The sixth from the bottom of these is the Troy of which Homer Virgil sang. To- day there stands little to tell Of the might of the former Priam and Paris and the splendOr which the beautiful Helen caused to be tumbled into dust. There is a long. low ridge some four or five miles in length which ends in Q promontory, where the city itself was ! stood the siege Of the Greeks for nine years can still be traced almost in it's | entirety. A fine tower containing a large well and a postern gate, stands at the northeast corner.
 Five miles off the coast lies the little island of Tenedos where tho Greeks hid, awaiting the time when the wooden horse should make his way | through the city walls. Today the TErirn q mil nf fNer htN@r 4 nBn1r whirl merrily over its sixteen square miles of territory.
 After the exile had slipped away | about 30 miles to the southeast of the ! plain of Troy and had built his little l fleet under the shadow of the Ida | Mountains, he sat sail with his follow CTS to Thrace-the same Thrace with | which mighty Athens made an alliance | in the fifth century B.

 It was a generally accepted opinion that whether or not there was plenty of wheat in the haYds of growers. very little was in position to be available for i'm mediate commercial use. Neither millers nor exporters appeared to be able to buy freely. Meanwhile evidence accumulated that May holdings were largely for sea- board account as hedge against export sales.
