REFUGEES AT 0MSK ARE
PROBLEM FOR RED CROSS

thousand cave-dwelling refugees in the
outskirts of Omsl, facing Siberian
winter, living IN hand to-mouth fash
ion with nothing in the way Of cloth
ing but the rags in which they stand,
constitute a problem for the American
Red Cross, practically the only organi-
cation to which they can look with any
hope OF relief The Associated Press

necessities and match them against
their resources already badly strained
with relief work-among refugees and
troops.
The first group of huts visited num-
bered a hundred and forty, covering per
haps an acre Of ground and averaging
five persons to a hut. There were two
other similar settlements in the neigh
borhood Most OF the huts were mere
burrows, sometimes with little window
peeping out close under the claycov-
cred roof Crude steps led down into
the dark interiors which one entered

scraps of sheet iron. wide bunk or

table made out OF odds and ends and
stool or two constituted the usual

more pretentious ones here and there
with wood sheathing against the clay
walls, whitewashed or papered with

but these were the "bourZhui' among
the refugee proletariat,

settlement Most Of those living in
these huts have been refugees since

homes in Poland and Bithuania by tho
Russian army during its first advance

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-The cotton
market was nervous and unsettled at
the opening today. Liverpool was
barely up to expectations while over
Sunday advices showed no improve
ment in the Mexican or coal situation
and the labor troubles at Fall River
probably increased disposition to
take profits after the rallies of late last
week, First prices were irregular at
advance OF to Is points on near
months, but generally Is to So points
lower and active positions sold 25 to ~
points net lower during the first few
minutes with January declining to
1884.
A crop estimate Of 1854, 900 bales
excluding linters, by a prominent New
Orleans authority, encouraged the
early selling but offerings were alb
sorbed by the Liverpool buying to
cover straddles and prices turned firm
er during the middle of the morning
with January selling up to 3640 and
March to 344O or Is or 80 points net
higher.
The late forenoon advance was not
fully maintained but the tone was very
steady during the early afternoon with
the market comparatively quiet. De-
cember sold up to SO As or As points
above the closing price of Saturday,
while January held around $500 or
about II points net higher. Exports for
the season crossed the 1000, 900 bale
mark today and are about 730, 900 bales
in excess of last years
Futures closed steady at an advance
OF IS to So points.
