the Red Cross is concerned. Its work
In these respects Is very useful to
the service and the nature Of its or
Eanisation enables Il to meet special
situations Of the individual. for the
agencies exist or are as well adapted,
"t trust that the roll call OF the
Red Cross will meet with the sreat
success which the organisation,
through its Rltruistic purposes and
splendid results. 40 well deserves"

NEW YORK, Juply 96.-(A. P0-
A far measure of activity and strength,
especially among steels, equipments

ialties, marked the opening of the

this advantage was concealed in the
idle drift of the later dealings. the
market closing irregularly. Sales 2S5.,

nections suggested that certain weak

cent, later shaded to s. were lar~er
than since the disbursement of July in

Foreign exchange was the one
branch of the financial markets in
which reactionary conditions prevailed.
The London rate for demand bills fell
to a fraction under 1857 and contin-
entail quotations yielded variably.

Foreign Situation
Causes Wheat Bulge


CHICAGO, July 26.-(A. P.)-
Wheat prices bulged at the last yester-
day because of reports that wheat
bought by Belgium in Australia was
being received out of condition. The
market closed firm 3-4 to l lac net
higher, with September $1.2Sh to
S1.e3 ga and December $1.26A to
Sl.26 y. Corn gained 3-S to 5-Sc, oats
lost 1-2 a S-Sc to 5-Sc. and provisions
finished unchanged to 15c lower.
Late strength of wheat was en-
phasized by gossip that exporters could
not obtain their requirements in the
market here. Renewed attention was
thus drawn to statement from Secre.
tary Hoover putting stress on a fore-
cast that United States surplus grain
would be in demand for Europe. I'm.
til ruled heavy owing to continued big
receipts here and to likelihood that
the total primary receipts this week
might exceed any previous record. Be.
sides, hedging pressure was such in
evidence during the morning and
premiums for fancy spring grades were
shot TO pieces, tumbling csc in some
cases compared with Saturday. On the
other hand, decided falling off in
hedging sales took place in the last
hour. shorts covered freely and COM
mission house demand was said to be
of good class.
Export sales of 100000 bushels rail-
lied corn from the bearish effect Of
rains, but hedging sales kept oats
weak.
Lower quotations on hogs acted as a
weight on provisions.

" hen these new craft are le-

Secretary of the Navy DENLY SAID to-
lay.
Persistent rumors Lave prevailed
rec emily in congress aud in naval ci''-

miCable arm of the nstion's fir.t-ilne
0f defense has Quilted some of the most
aggressive of those who have attack
ed the departments policy and build
ing programme.
Plans for greater development of
submarines were among the features
of the recent discussion in congress OF
the navy appropriation bill for the
next fiscal year and much of the cri-
tfcism levelled at the navy depart
ment's subsea policy and the alleged
poor condition of the submersible
fleet was brought to a head in a reso-
luton introduced in the senate by
Senator King Cd, of Utah, directing
an investigation of American subma-
rines by the senate naval affairs COM
mittee. No action has been taken on
this resolution since its introduction,
and it is regarded as unlikely that the
proposed investigation will be con-
Quoted.
Latest FlOtilIa In Pacific.
One of the latest rumors concern
ing the condition of the submarine
fleet had it that number of U-boats
were tied up at the Panama Canal
and that they were of no use except
as junk. '@T
Secretary DENLY declared that GER
tain divisions operating in tropical
waters have encountered difficulties
due to the climatic action on engines
and gear and that experiments are
now being conducted to eradicate
these troubles.
A flotilla of the latest type of sub
marines made their way recently to
the Pacific and are now operating in
those waters.
High officials of the navy depart
ment dismiss most of these rumors as
and go right along with
their work of developing the under
sea flotilla, with the belief that this
arm of the navy is to be "as good as
the best"
