Red Gross Urges Women

devoted exclusively to this subject.

LIBERAL RECEIPTS FOR
WEEK CAUSES MAY DROP

CHICAGO. April s.-Liberal ship
ments of wheat to Chicago from Mis-
souri, river points have brought about
this week a decline in the price of
May delivery. Meanwhile, July and
September deliveries have scored an
advance, owing, more or less, to con-
crop outlook southwest. Compared
with a week ago, wheat prices this
morning varied from Ia setback to
rs gain; corn was up rs to 12. !;
oats Is off to Is higher, and provi-
slons at rise of 40 to 1.75
from Omaha, St. Joseph and other
western primary markets was gen.
orally taken to mean that filling of
May contracts here would be much
easier than was recently expected by
many traders, and that shortage of
breadstuffs would have to be looked
for later, if at all.
It was pointed out in this connec-
ton that the domestic visible supply
of wheat was still 100000 bushels
in excess of the figures a year ago.
One of the chief sources of appre-
henSion as to the condition of winter
wheat southwest was an opinion
would be likely to show rapid de-
terioration if the weather in May
proved as dry as usual. On the other
hand, the government crop report
appeared. to impress the majority of
traders as having a somewhat bear
ish aspect.
Corn and oats averaged higher in
price as result largely of wet
weather.
Upturns in pork. lard and ribs was
ascribed, in the main. to higher quo
tations on hogs.

PLANNING SAFEGUARDS
FOR STOCK INVESTORS

NEW YORK, April S.-"We want the
public to learn still more about the
New York Stock Exchange and about
its method of protecting investments
and investors" says Seymour l..
Cromwell, president of that institu-
tuition. Out of a total of more than
three score firms whose failures have
been announced in the last four
months, only three were members OF
the New York Stock Exchange. The
percentage of failures among the
100 of this exchange during the last
ten has averaged less than one-half
of 1 per cent of the membership. That
means smaller percentage of fail
ures among stock exchange firms
than among banks.
Recent Irregularities were not due
altogether to the fact that some stock
exchange houses have maintained a
connection with bucket shops. 1t has
become clear that the exchange must
insist upon business methods being
followed by all its members, which
will throw around their clients a
greater possible security wherever
possible"
President Cromwell said the gov
errors of the exchange were about to
put into effect a plan. for closer SUI
pervision by the exchange of the
methods Of its own members.

in that state were probably better
than in other western states on ac-
count of its varied production. In
the mountain states he found a slow
but steady rise in mining activities
and in the agricultural sections,
among farmers and bankers, an opti-
mistic sentiment, 10 which the up
