ESTABLISHED 1843 \ THE BI SMARCK TRIBUNE LAST EDITION ~ - BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1922 (Leased Wire of Associated Press) BRITISH AN GRAIN PRICES HALT GAIN IN N, W. BUSINESS Tends. to Minimize Advant- ages of the Big Crop, Says Reserve Head | EMPLOYMENT NORMAL Heavy Marketing of. Cattle Reported, with Conse- | ' quent Price Decline Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 2—The drop in grain prices in August had | a tendency to minimize the advan-| tage of the big crop throughout; the Ninth Federal Reserve dis- trict, according to the monthly re- port of John H. Rich, chairman of the Federal Reserve bank here, made public today. Marketing of rye, cattle and sheep was abnormally heavy, Mr. Rich declares, and with the excep- tion of calves which were sustain- ed by the substantial movements of feeders back to the farms, all live- stock prices declined.. The crop moving demand for money has not been heavy and in- terest rates have declined sub- stantially. Investment funds arej in much better supply. Lumber, copper and iron ore pro- duction as well as building and most manufacturing has been bet- ter ‘n volume both as compare with the preceding month and a year ago. , : Employment Normal Employment has! been normal and accumulated chandise and materials have not changed greatly, except for some declines in lumber, However, Mr. Rich points out, the, general improvement both in volume of business and financial | conditions has not helped profits sufficiently to reduce business fail- urie to a normal level. It will re-! qure several months, he adds, to determine whether the apparent gain in the momentum of business in this district will continue in the the face of a coal movement up the lakes equal to but 6 per cent of a’ year ago and if the . present; price level is mantained for the grains. “Prices at central’. markets in this district for a majority of the products of the farm, declined in August from the July figure, due rather to the weight of supplies than to the decline in demand,” Mr. Rich says in his letter. “The me-| dium price of wheat broke 39 cents between these two months, show- ing the effect of weak European support, as well as heavier re- ceipts. Rye was in extraordinary favor with European buyers and declined less than 6 cents. Flax declined 5 cents, barley 7 cents! and oats more than 3 cents, The median price of corn remained practically unchanged. Cattle Marketed “Heavy marketing of cattle and sheep broke thé median price’ of butcher steers $2.15 and lambs 25 cents. Although there was a de- cline from July receipts of hogs, the abnormally heavy receipts forc- ed prices to continue the decline which started in May, the slump this month amounting to $1.25. “Wholesale produce prices at Minneapolis showed increase in the important quotations, except in vegetables. Eggs showed a sharp increase from 19 cents per dozen to 26 cents. There were smaller increases in butter, veal and hens. The price of the best flour remain- ed unchanged. “The credit situation in this dis- trict has given little indication of crop moving demand,” the letter continues. “All Federal Reserve Banks during the month of August | showed a small increase in bills discounted and purchased and in Federal Reserve notes outstanding and a small decline in reserves. In- vestment funds apparently were in greater supply during August than during July and time deposits also increased slightly. “Grain stocks in terminal ele- vators, totaling 1 million bushels, increased _ slightly during the month of August, but were one- third lower than a year ago. Stocks of oats were slightly larger at the end of August than at the end‘of July, but down ong fourth from the figure a year ago. Stocks of rye were almost eight times as large at the end of August as at the end of July, but barley stocks were down three fifths from last year. Wheat stocks totaling less than 2 million bushels were down one fifth from a month ago and one-half from a year ago, Flax} stocks approached the vanishing point during August.” S. D.

With an armistice conference de- finitely fixed for tomorrow at Mu- dania, the peril of war between Great Britain and Turkey appear- ed less menacing today. Great Britain’s recession from the neutral zone controversy caus- ed no little surprise and" disap- pointment here, but it was gen- erally admitted this step was the only thing which could have stay- ed Mustapha Kemal Pasha’s hand.

FOREST FIRE CLOUDS HANG OVER THE GITY Unusually Warm Weather for October Is Reported by The Weather Bureau Peculiar appearance of the sun, a haze hanging over the ctiy and the unusually warm first day ‘of; October kept the weather bureau busy today answering ques’ ions. The misty abmosphere was in part an Indian summer haze smoke wafting from the forest fire regions of Minnesota formed into clouds which was responsible for the overcast appearance of the sky and the dull red of the sun \in the early morning, according to O. W. Roberts, weather observer. Particles of smoke from the forest{ fires form into low-lying clouds, Mr. Roberts said. Recently a sim- jlar condition was caused by smoke} from forest fires in Idaho. | Sunday, October 1, was a real summer day. The thermometer! touched 91 at its peak, a mark equalled only twice before in Oc- tober in the 48 years history of the weather bureau, The mercury war, Up to the time of the issuance of Brigadier General Harington’s temporizing note Saturday night, the situation looked exceedingly critical. It is now conceded his tact and tolerance, \coupled with the timely arrival of reinforce- ments from England, prévented the Turks from striking at Chanak. Situation Strained The situation Saturday a‘ter- noon was so strained a break seem- ed inevitable. The British orders were to defend Clianak at all costs as the Turks were slowly envelop- ing the Dardanelles citadel. Saturday morning the Turkish forces were increased by 1,500 cavalrymen and everything indicat- ed the beginning of a hostile move. |. New difficulties await the Brit- ish at the armistice conference. It s known that the Kemalists will insist upon the British withdrawal from the Asiatic shores of the Dar- danelles and the immediate eva- cuation of Thrace by the Greeks. They will probably also demand the right to cross the straits to | pursue the Greeks as well as guar- antees against the use of Turkish waters by Greek \warships and transports. The presence of Greek war craft at Rodosto furnished the Kemalists with a pretext for ac- cusing the British of ignoring ther pledges regarding the non use | of neutral waters by the Greeks. It is expected the conference may |drag for several days as_ the | Kemalists doubtless will bargain land haggle over every point. It is felt that the influence of the Italian. | generals will be an important fac- | tor in bringing the meeting to a j successful conclusion. The British declare they will in- sist upon occupying the Asiatic banks of the straits even at the peril of the conference. They may also contest the immediate with- drawal of the Greeks from Thrace making this conditional upon ac- ceptance of the allied peace pro- posals. The inviolability’of “the straits will be stoutly defended, The allied policy at the Mudania conference, it was learned, this went this high in 1910 and in 1920. Weather records do not indicate that the present stretch of warm weather is anything unusual, ex- cept that the rainfall is consider- ably below normal. Following the recent wet spell which delayed threshing for sev- eral days, the dry weather has been pleasing to many framers which grain not threshed yet. It has made fall plowing more difficult. Estimates of the amount of grain remaining to be threshed vary somewhat. Not more than half of the grain has been threshed in tho| western part of the state, accord- ing to a number of persons who have traveled extensively over the territory. Lack of threshing ma- chine capacity and lack of farm help are among the causes, while| elevators in many towns are re- ported already jammed to the limit with grain and some are having; difficulty in getting enough cars to ship grain to the Twin Cities and Duluth, JAMESTOWN TO GET NEXT MEET OF STATE S.
