Dim's "Iiylex Num ber" of commodity prices. proportioned to consumption, was S UK 1.0.7. ? on May 1. against Jp liMl.i H?*l on April I and .^PT, r?(U a year ago. Although there was u slight decline during April, tin* level of prices is still at tit*' highest position in twenty years, and. compared with Mh^ J, 15K>r?, then; appears an advance oT M.7 per cent. The most important alteration dur ing the past month was a decline yf six per cent. in the class enibraeing dairy and garden products, a season aide response to the warmer weather, which brought a larger julfipiy of but ter. egga and n?tlk. The'oiily other di* vision showing a decline was the one embracing meats: cheaper beef and sheep more than neutralizing the effect of slightly higher pork proilncts. Ifrprtdsluffs exhibited the < hief ad* vaiicc, rising to the highest position since last December, changcs in wheat and corn supplying tin' difference. Idt tle advance occurred in metals, despite i?m?5ntit??Hl ^notation# for tin. smaller changes downward in pig iron exercis ing a proportionately greater effect, be? cause of the larger per capita consump tion.

In a manner characteristic of Turkish diplomacy tin* Porto hat* made mi eleventh-hour surrender to (lie British demand concerning tin- Ta hali boundary. Jt iiu?i been believed In many quarters thai the Hultau would not yield until actual force was displayed, l?ui hi# decision probably was facilitated by the knowledge that none of the Powers supported Ills nttl*v tude, and the fact that British naval preparations had kepi pace with her diplomatic demands. 8lr Nicholas 1(. O'Connor, tho Brit ish Ambassador at Constantinople, In his earlier dispatches had prepared tho British Government for Turkey's com pliance with its demand, and little at tention need be paid to the reports of a conditional surrender, that phrase probably being intended to satisfy the Turkish people. At tin; Foreign Office V it was learned that it was quite un likely that Great Britain would accept anything in the nature of a mixed or international commission to examine into the frontier question, and the Foreign Ofllce declined to believe that Ambassador o'Congr had accepted any "conditional" surrender. Ii is understood the British licet will ?v,>. Phalerum Bay pending a linal settlement of the question and the delimitation of the frontier.
