30 VIOLENT FRATG INTURKISH REVOLT Bulgarians and Macedonians Also Reported in Chaotic " Scenes in Thrace. BATTLING WITH GREEKS Fugitives From Asia Minor Freez- ing to Death in Deep Snows on Road.’ By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 30.—It is re- ported here that a Turkish revolt, accompanied by violent fighting at some places, has broken out in west- ern Thrace. The correspondent of the Times at Constantinople telegraphs that he hears the insurgents are masters of the situation and that an armed band marching toward Dedeaghatch and of 5,000 having machine guns, is demanding the holding of a plebiscite. Situation Is Chaotic. A dispatch to the Daily Express from Constantinople describes the situation as dramatic and chaotic. It adds that not only are the Turks re- ported to have revolted, but that bands of Bulgarians and Macedonians have crossed the frontier. Xanthi, Gumuldjina and Dedea- ghatch are said to be three of the centers in revolt. The Turkish revo- lutionaries are declared to have seized Xanthi and established their own government there. Fighting With Greeks. There has been fighting at Gu- muldjina between revolutionaries and Greeks. The attack aimed at De- deaghatch failed, although, accord- ing to Turkish newspapers, the in- habitants supported the attacking party and tried to exterminate the troops of occupation. The reports recelved in Constantinople, accord- ing to dispatches, admittedly are confused. The British intelligence officlals at Dedeaghatch, telegraph- ing Tuesday, did not mention a re- volt. It is reported that the Orient ex- press has been derailed between Adrfanople and Luleburgas, either by the blowing up of bridges or the cutting of the line. FREEZING IN SNOWS. Refugees Throng Roads in Asia Minor Leading to Sea. By the Associated Press. SAMSUN, Asia Minor, November 30. —Although the Turkish nationalist government has declared that the Christians are not being expelled from Asfa Minor, but are leaving of their own volition, the exodus of non- Moslems continues unabated. Every road converging upon the Black sea and Mediterranean ports is crowded beyond capacity with emi- grants, who are suffering from the extreme cold. Many are freezing to death in the deep snow. A wireless message from the interlor, picked up here, says: “Several thousand refugees’ are moving on foot along the snow-cov- cred roads from Mersivan and Tokat. They will perish if relief is not forth- coming. The American hospitals in the interior have four times the usual number of patients. There are many cases of frozen feet.” The steamship Tilano left Mersina vesterday with 800. orphans from Konia for Beirut. Tt is estimated that there are 125.- 000 destitute refugees from the in- terior awaliting transportation at the various Black sea and Mediterranean ports. RAIL EARNINGS COMPARED All Southern Roads’ October State- ments Now Made Public. Railroads of the south, except those whose principal traffic is coal, make very good showings of earnings for October. The three coal roads—Norfolk and Western, Chesapeake and Ohio and Virginian—all make poor statements of net operating income, although, with the exception of the Chesapeake and Dhlo, whose gross dropped off about $1.000,000, gross revenues were equal to or greater than thcse of October last year. The latter company's nct was only $210,000, as compdred with $1,779,- 000 a year ago: the Norfolk and West- ern had a deficit as compared with over $2.000,000, and the Virginian, with gross practically the same. had net of only $204,000, as compared with $400,000. On the other hand, the Southern rail- way reported Tuesday an increase in net of over $500,000, and yesterday the |Ct Atlantic Coast Line reported gross $1.500,000 in excess of the previous Oc- tober, with net of $1.103.000, as com- red with $668,000. The Seaboard Air ine also came through October with the best report it has ever made for that month. Its gross was $4,203,000, an increase of $325,000 over October of last year, and its net operating income was $500,900, as compared with $40,000 a year ago. As compared with Septem- ‘ber, this is an _increase of about $500,- 000 in gross and about $180,000 in net. —_— 200 PER CENT MELON. ALBEMARLE. N.

CANADA’S WHEAT CROP IS LARGEST SINCE 1915 By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, Ont, November 30.—The highest total wheat yleld in Canada since 1916 is the estimate of the 1922 crop just issued by the Dominion bu- reau of statistics. The estimate places the total wheat harvest &t 391,425,000 bushels, which is an ave.- age yleld of 17% bushels from 22,- 422,693 acres. The 1915 crop totaled 393,642,000 bushels from 15,109,415 acres, or an average of 26 bushels per acre.

The average yleld per acre for 1922 of oats is greater tl any previous year since 1916, 37. The yitld of' hay and ‘clover.' 1.45 ton per acre, is greatly superior to that of last year, wheh, owing to drought, barely over 1 ton per acre was gathered.

Re-establishment of the North Ger- man Lloyd line in Baltimore will mean increased immigration and the reopen- ing of Baltimore's immigration station, but Mr. Hilken declared that would not become necessary until the Germans had more money. Few people emigrated from Germany now, he said, for they have not the price of ocean passage. —_— DIVIDENDS. Stock of Pay- 4%, DL S 32 Am. Tob. Co.. q., 134%. Pf. 4 e 28 Jam. 2 Am. Tob. Co..

BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Btar. NEW YORK, November 30.—The schedule of ,automobile production planned for next March provides for the greatest output ever known in the history of the industry. The con- dition of the fall planted wheat crop of the northwest .is unusually favor- able and indicates a stand better than in any previous season at this time of the year. Kansas farmers have known {in the history of that great grain producing state. These facts, which were reported today by telegraph from thoroughly reliable sources, are weather vanes i which, moving ' under influence of present conditions, are pointing to| prosperity for 1923. Facts From Steel Makers. News of the tremendous production forecast for the automotive industry did not come from motor manufac- turers, but from an equally reliable It was gleaned from steel manufacturers of Pittsburgh, Youngs- town, Cleveland and Chicago. Automobile manufacturers might change their minds about the rate of production, but it is a far more diffi- cilt thing to change their orders. They have ordered an amount of steel products used in the manufacture of motor cars and accessories for deliv- ery next spring which tells unmis- takably of a record-breaking factory output. Motor manufacturers themselves are looking to iIncreased production as a means of holding supremacy in their particular price flelds. In motor cir- cles It is openly asserted that this was the significance of the recent reduc- tion in the price of Cadillac cars, ra- ther than the present trend of manu- facturing costs. Wheat in Fine Condition. Accarding to special reports secured from more than 200 correspondents in the Pacific northwest, practically all the area of winter wheat sown in dust in central and eastern Washington has come up in good shape. The Wil- lamitte valley, the Deschutes county of central Oregon and the Columbia river district give most reassuring prospects for fall-sown grain, with conditlons at this time as good as, or better than, normal. The acreage sown to fall wheat in Kansas Is rellably estimated today at 11.316,000. The movement of grain of this year's crop from that section, while still below that of 1921, is in- creasing In volume. Heavy Rail Trafic Certain. Rallroads are fully aware of the trend of events and are making prep- arations to handle a record-breaking volume of freight. Orders for freight | and tank cars contlnue to pour ln.| and inquiries for millions of dollars’ worth of additional orders are flitting around the steel centers. Steel mills of the country Increased their out- puts steadily this week up to today, but it is possible the Thanksgiving holiday may result in a slight falling off In production from some recent weeks. Tire sales are heavier than they have been for some time, and crude' materials for thelr manufacture are advancing In price. Shoe factorles are exceedingly active, and. some plants are booking record orders for next spring dellvery. Drug store sundries and tollet arti- cles are in better demand than at any time in several years, although some Increase in these lines is to be ex- pected at the holiday season. Deco- rative novelties for the home and house furnishings of every description are selling briskly. Sugar Market Extra Strong. ‘The markets for chemicals are only moderately active and the trading is confined to small lots for immediate requirements, although prices are steady. Paints. olls and varnishes are active at slightly higher prices. The raw sugar market fs very strong owing to the scarcity of Cuban raws and prices are advancing. The sales of one of the largest mail order houses, Montgomery Ward, in- creased nearly 18 per cent this month overn;\'nv‘efilllher, 1921, and for eleven months this year aggregated $80,- 844,890. % EELSE: ¥ I R_ubber Manufacturers Increasing Production Special Dispatch to The Star. i CLEVELAND, November 30.—Rub- ber manufacturers in this section are turning into December with plans ready for gradually increasing pro- duction. Dealers in tires and rubber goods are less conservative than for many months in their buying, accord- ing to early trade conditions. They are | ordering on a substantial scale and Akron tire makers are preparing for one of the busiest seasons in the his- tory of the business. Automobile production here is hav- ing its slight, temporary seasonal slump, but sales at the leading fa tories are said to be entirely sati factory. The price situation is go erned by varying conditions, for fs lowing a cut by the maker of a m dium priced car, comes announc: ment by the manufacturer of a high priced product that unless material costs decline his prices will be ad- vanced January 1. Live Stock Sales Near Volume of War Times Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. November 30.— Business in ‘this section of the mid- ‘west has developed a high momentum, and is moving in larger volume than at any time in two years.. Mining, both coal and metal, in this district is showing greater activity, and the flow of crude oil from the midcontinent fleld continues very high in spite of efforts to curtail cut. put dll: accordance with current de- mand. The amount of live stock marketed has closely approximated war-time volume, and building activities are at 2 bigh point. Bank President Predicts Good Business in 1923 Special Dispatch to The Star. PITTSBURGH, November 30.—Har- rison Nesbit, president of the Bank of Pittsburgh, N. A., said today: “Most of the familiar forecasts of business point to a continuance of the good ‘business of the past months well into the new year. Business recovery has been slow and expansion cau- tious and as a consequence we are in a much sounder and more liquid condition than might have been the cas improvement been more H a rapid. Ample credit is available for business expansion and the banking situation is decidedly strong.” (Copyright, 1922.) —_— Pholads, delicious oyster-like bi- valves related to the ship-worms, make thelr homes, inside seashore rocks into which they bore holes by means of the drili-like edges of their FINANCIAL NOTES.
