RED CROSS EXPENDS
EIGHT MILLIONS FOR
RELIEF IN DISASTER
Year Just Closed Put Heavy Task
on Society-12O Calls for
Help Were Met.

An unusually large number of dis
asters in the United States and its in
sular possessions have required assist
ance from the American Red Cross
during the year just closed. The or
ganization sent emergency relief
workers to the scenes Of 120 lorna
does, floods, fires and other types OF
catastrophes and expended SS.O20,000
in relief and rehabilitation of the vic
tins.
Calls for aid came from eleven
other nations in which earthquakes,
floods and other problems caused dis
tress to large populations, and the
Red Cross sent $4,000 to help in re-
lieving the suffering.
The catastrophe causing the great
est loss of life and most widespread
devastation was the West Indies hur.
ricane OF September. 1928. in which
more than 1000 lives were lost In
Florida, Porto Rico and the Virgin
Islands. A relief fund Of $5,SS3, 1852
was contributed by the public, follow
ing a proclamation by the President
of the United States, to which the
Red Cross added $4,000 from its own
treasury, and the society was ena
bled to give relief to more than 700.
900 persons.
In the early Spring, river floods In
the southeastern states cost heavy
loss to many persons, 10000 inhab
itants being affected in four states
The Red Cross assisted 4.3S3 families,
approximately $4,000 persons, with
food, clothing. temporary housing,
feed for stock and seed for replant
ing.
In all, thirty eight states were vis-
tied by calamities during the year,
affecting 364 counties. Twenty-eight
counties were devastated twice by
storms, fires and foods.
Red Cross expended s434,000 from
it's treasury in giving relief in these
disasters, and at one time had as
many as 12O disaster relief workers,
nurses and other representatives in
the field.
Funds for this relief work are OBJ
tanned in the annual roll call for mem
bers, which occurs from Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving Day. November
II to % Only once year-during
this period Of Roll Call-does the Red
Cross ask public support to carry on
its many activities.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Wheat con-
tinued to advance unevenly as the
Board of Trade opened today with
additional bullish news from abroad
and strength at Liverpool support
ing the market. Liverpool was up
sharply on the rise in North Amer
lea, but the advance checked the
demand. A London report said that
smaller Russian collections had been
confirmed, approximately 81 per
cent of last year. Corn stayed with
wheat. aided by unfavorable weather
over the belt. Oats trailed the ma
jor grains. A short German rye crop
aided that grain.
At the opening wheat was y to

In the Cotton Markets
rBv thomson B. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-There
was another small decline in cotton
this morning. At noon May con-
tracts were 6 points under Satur-
days close. Some mill agents re-
ported a week of good sales, but we
have not heard of any improvement
in prices. Unfavorable reports of
textile business in France are offset
by improvement in English business.
The trade is still buying contracts
literally, but sentiment is notice
ably against the market in trading
circles and we feel that the tech
nical position is improving in
strength.
This fall is witnessing the best
condition for gathering the crop in
many years, and the trade expects
some increase beyond the last gov
eminent estimate, when the final
out turn is known. After all is
said, however, present prices seem
to be a full discount for the stu
alton and we can not recommend
selling cotton so far below grow
ing costs. Scale down buying seems
best.
