Despite the Turco-Greek agreement
reached at Lausanne by which
Turkey acquires additional terri,
tory in Europe, on the western
bank of the Martha river, the An,
CORA government will maintain its
present strategic positions until .
Near East peace treaty is signeG
Then 1t is anticipated the allies win
evacuate Turkey in two weeks
after which the Kemalists viii re,
occupy Constantinople and Thrace
as far as the Martha river.
Turkey officials say Greece IA
willing to sign q separate treaty
with Turkey '"in order to prevent
English and French diplomacy from
involving the two nations in future
wars in the Balkans"
Great relief was manifested by
the population when news came
from Lausanne that the reparas
tons dispute had been settled
near Adrianople.
Certain Turkish officials, however;
expressed dissatisfaction. They
claim that Karagatch (which is I'M
cluded in the exchanged territory
contains only vegetable gardens
and a railway station.
Thrace is quiet and no further
troop movements are reported from
the Martha zone.

CHICAGO. August 1S.-Prices con-
tinued to advance in all four of the
major butter markets during the
week ending August 16. Demand was
resumed and surplus stocks of fresh
butter were reduced, making neceS-
sary the filing of shortages with
storage stock Prices ranged from
SI2 to 9ia cents above last years
level.
During the first half of August
storage holdings increased less than
250,O00 pounds. against an increase
of 1000, 100000 pounds during the
corresponding period of 1922. Little
increase in production was indicated
for the near future, although better
pasturage conditions exist than last
year. when a drought caused de-
cline in production abou: this time.
Quality of butter made last week
during cooler weather showed i'm
provement, but the proportion of
fancy butter continued very small and

Imports amounting to only 250 casks

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 1S.-The most
important price fluctuations during
the current week occurred in oil and
coal stocks. The rest of the list
swayed back and forth without indi-
vidual initiative, although in the
main the volume of trading was
slightly larger than during the week
previous and prices exhibited more
stability in the latter sessions. Most
transactions centered in the Standard
Oils Early in the week, when
the South Dakota state high
way commission announced it had
purchased a large quantity of dis
tress" gasoline and would sell it to
the public at 16 cents gallon, heavy
selling of Standard shares resulted
and prices dropped anywhere from
from to 10 points.
To add to the unSettlement came
the announcement by the STANDARD
Oil Company of Indiana that II had
reduced prices for gasoline to con-
form with the new low rate. and IT
was not until the price in South
Dakota was advanced to 20 cents per
gallon that turn in the downward
trtnQ came. III Is TeSdTueu III Oll til :
cles that the Standard Oil people Will
raise their rate soon. and on this as
sumption the oil list experienced a
vigorous rally on Thursday. \ good
deal of the decline made earlier in
the week was made up. and the trend
was still upward when the week ap-
preached its close. Independent oil
issues were favorabiy Influenced by
the action of Standard Oils. although
trading in these issues was not so
large.
AS above stated, industrials did not
show much life, aside from the coal
issues. which spurted to new high
ground for the movement on Thurs
day when news raised expectations of
an early amicable adjustment of the
present coal controversy. Friday wit
messed a setback in the trend due to
complications in the negotiations.
but the hope was still entertained
that final settlement would be made.
Mining stocks did not join IN the

WHEAT PRICES FOR WEEK
SLIGHTLY INCREASED
Chicago Market Affected bv Report
of Curtailed Fall Seeding.
Other Grains and Provisions.

CHICAGO. August 1S.-Governmen Mt
figures indicating probable sharp cur
tailment of wheat seeding in the
United States has had much to do
this week with bringing about higher
prices in the wheat market here
! Compared with week ago. wheat
this morning showed gains varying
from Y to 2 bushel. with corn
| ranging from II decline to a rise of
2A, oats 1a1h to ka15s up, and pro-
visions at 81 to so advance.
Bullish effects of the official report
indicating 15.5 per cent reduction in
domestic winter wheat acreage this
fall, were evident both before and
after the report was issued, and were
made more emphatic by estimates
| that the Canadian yield Of wheat this
season would be greatly diminished
in comparison with earlier predic-
tions. Besides. word was received
, that the wheat production of India
for 1923 was expected to be 100000
bushels less than the amount which
heretofore had been looked for.
Prospects. however, that. notwith
standing 35 cents duty, some likel-
hood of wheat imports from Canada
was looming into view counted at
times as a noticeable bearish in
ftuence in the market here. Another
depressing factor. was gossip that the
French government would fatty re-
ject British suggestions regarding
settlement with Germany, and there
was talk also that domestic mills had
obtained all the wheat they need at
present. Meanwhile, export demand
was at low ebb, and in some cases
domestic wheat which had been pur-
chased for Europe was being sold
back in this country.
Favorable crop reports eased the
market for deferred deliveries of
corn. but shorts in the September de-
livery were plainly anxious about OBJ
tanning immediate supplies Wet
weather gave firmness to oats.
Provisions were lifted by somewhat
improved export business and by up
{, turns in the value of hogs

balanced for the first time in many
weeks. AT the forefront of the i'm
provement is to be mentioned quite
an enlargement of the buying of
cotton goods at large eastern markets,
which has been stimulated by the
stronger tone of raw cotton, the latter
i'm turn due to reduction. of crop es-

FACTORS PROMINENT
IN WEEKS COTTON DEALS
Disposition Seen to Take Profits on
Long Contracts-Some Selling
for a Reaction.

NEW YORK. August 1s.-The two
factors most discussed in the cotton
market here during the past week
have been the general reports of
rapid deterioration in crop prospects
on the one hand. as opposed TO the
proximity of increasing receipts of
new cotton on the other No little
uncertainty has been expressed as to
, whether advances on reduced crop
estimates could be maintained under
the weight of the early new crop
movement. unless there should be a
very decided Improvement in trade
demand. AS result of this feeling.
doubtless. there has been a dispoSi
tion TO take profits on long contracts
on advances and possibly some selling
for reaction. The declines, how
ever, have brought in buying of one
sort or another. and prices made new
high grounds for the movement. with
cotton for october delivery selling
at 24.7S today. or very nearly cents
per pound above the low figure touch
ed shortly before the publication of
the end-July crop figures. This ad-
vance was accompanied by reports Of
Ia gradually Improving business in
cotton goods. and some increase of
mill interest in the raw material mar
kets. but the market was still more
or less nervous and there were r-ac-

crop prospects found more or less
confirmation in the private mid month
reports issued by four or five of the
, trade authorities. These reports
showed rather wide differences of
opinion as to the extent of the falling
off since the end of last month.
! The relative firmneSs of near months
here toward the end of the week was
regarded as an indication that offer
ings of new crop cotton were running
rather below expectations. and that
the market was feeling the effects of
the reduction in the local certificated

|! MOST OF LOSSES
Intense Pessimism of Month
Ago Disappears-RevieW
at Weeks Close.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 1S.-At their
high points at the close of the past
week stock exchange prices have got
back the greater part of their loss
since the 1st OF July. This in itself
is proof of the disappearance of the
intense pessimism which governed
Wall street transactions a month ago.
1t also bears out the contention that
the propa ganda. either directly or in
directly designed to undermine con-
ndence in the business outlook to in
duce cancellation of orders along
with curtailment of new buying, and
thereby bring about a serious recess
sion, was unwarranted and must fail
because 1t ought to fail.
OverprOductiOn and Price Cutting.
1t is difficult to discuss the trade
movement as If 1t were subject to GER
tain broad and general influences
Ratner the matter has to be taken up
IN detail There are well defined in
stances OF overproduction, like oil.
leather and automobile tires. which
nave had their sequel in costly price
cutting. In oil particularly only the
very strongest companies can oper-
ate at a profit on present quotations.
in leather the situation has been
revealed in the deficits reported by
| the leading companies for the second
quarter of the year.
! Ihere are other cases. like the boot
ana shoe trade and some branches of
the metal trade. notably zinc, where
the margin of profit has been eaten
up ny the increase in wages. Finally,
there Is the much agitated position III

stock. where miScalculation of for

Improbable price levels.
Cases Held as Exceptions.
II these various industries were
fairly representative of business as d
whole. the situation would be dis
| tinCtly unfavorable. But the cases
! considered are plainly exceptions. AT
! least. they denote no widespread
tendency. such as was present three
years ago-no wild speculation and
price imitation, no overStocking with

! cost finished goods no excessive ad-

| trade. which is running 20 per cent or
more ahead of a year ago. and by the
railway tonnage statistics. which are
showing the largest freight haul in

OIL Regarded Weak spot.
4 summary of the facts as they
stand at present would seem to be
| that no general causes of depression
are at work, that for special reasons
conditions in a dozen or perhaps a
score of lines are not good. but that
in the main body of industry matters
are mving along satisfactorily. In
several directions where there was
doubt up to a fortnight ago there is
