VIRGINIA GIVEN
ADDITIO NAL
. REL|EFFUND

Grants Of Federal emergency
relief funds totaling 5000, 900 were
made by Administrator Harry l..
Hopkins today for relief in Vir-
ginia.
These funds, he said, will be
sufficient to finance the States
unemployment and transient re-
lief program until March 81. OF
the amount, $150,000 will be
used for direct relief and $50, 900
for transient relief.
After March 81, Mr.. Hopkins
explained, the State will start on
its new relief plan, and funds
will be granted for this work in
ample time. The grant today
brings the total sum given the
State for relief since the found
ing Of the Federal Emergency Re
lief Administration to $2,598,074.
The States recent request to
be granted a lump sum of $4,-

recommendation is necessary,
however, for waiver by the de-

The medical section Of the
AeronauticS Branch has been con-
Quoting a study to determine a
basis for granting such waivers.
It has found that there is q
strong probability that cures have
been made by such flights,
though in all cases the same
results might have been obtained
through the use Of a compression
chamber, in a test conducted by

Nevertheless, the department
will waive the regulation in cases
where such flights are recon-

The weather, except in north

corn, but reports from Nther sec

SHANGHAI, Aug. 16-Prelim-
mary estimate of a cotton crop Of
3,047000 standard bales and a wheat
harvest of S5O,OOOOOO bushels, in
dictates that China, usually one OF
the United States best customers,
may reduce its imports of the TWO
products far below normal this year.
The crop estimates were based on
information obtained by reliable cir
cles here.
They indicated the cotton crop
will increase about IS per cent above
last years production. A bumper
crop in north China, where in
creased acreage produced better
than average yield, will offset the
effect of drought on the crop in the
Yangtse valley, experts said
Under the current forecast China
may reduce its imports from the
United States by as much as 100000
bales and from India by 100000
bales. it was estimated.

World Supply on Hand Aug. Shows
Increase Over 1888.

Bp United Press
LONDON, Aug. 16.-The interna-
tional meat conference announces
that world stocks on Aug. l totaled
1.140.OO0.000 bushels, compared to
1920 100000 bushels on Aug. l, last
year. The average of world stocks
on Aug. l from 1922 to 1923 was
625 .0O0,O 900 bushels.
The communique revealed that
abandonment of international ef-
forts to adjust the supply of wheat
to the effective demand, in the
opinion of delegates. will lead to an
accumulation of burdensome sur
pluses if there is a normal yield in
1885.
The committee was informed that
although drought in the United
States. an expected small crop in
Canada and Australia, and mod
crate crop in Europe, will lead to a
substantial reduction of the surplus
in the present cereal year, neverthe-
less stocks in August, 1885, would
be above the normal average for
1922 to 1923.

Stock Commission Demands
Monthly Report of
Operations.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press Financial Correspondent

I
WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-New
government regulations strike
sharply at insiders who deal IN Sc
curities of their own corporation
without regard for the effect OF
such transactions on ordinary
stock holdings.
Study of the rules laid down by
the securities and exchange COM
mission show that operations of in
siders and all large dealings must be
reported to the government agency
Monthly reports must be tlleo
with the commission and the stock
exchange of any change in the stock
holdings of an officer or director IN
a company or any change IN the
holdings of any person If they
amount to as much as 10 per cent
of the outstanding issue. ..
These reports will be required
after Nov. l and are presumably
aimed at facts revealed by the re-
cent senate stock market inveStl-
cation which brought to light sem
sational dealings Of such character
among some Wall Street insiders.
Testimony Is Recalled
officials recall testimony before
the senate banking and currency
committee TO the effect that Albert
II Wieein. former head of the
huge Chase National bank of New
York. had unloaded large blocks OF
stock in his own bank unknown to
other officers. A similar case with
in a large New York corporation
also was recalled.
Other protective rules are con-
templated by the commission on
the basis of extensive data to be
obtained from the results OF a
QUESTIONABLE submitted to stock eX-
changes.
Application for registration OF the
exchanges is accompanied by pro-
visions that the stock exchanges
shall aid the federal government
in stamping out evil stock market
practices and helping to enforce
the security control program.
Chairman Joseph P Kennedy OF
the securities and exchange COM
mission stressed, however, that oper-
ations of the government security
control program and setting up OF
safeguards" for investors is no
guaranty against losses to investors
Exhibiting a stack of letters, Ken
nedy revealed the commission hao
been bombarded with messages from
investors seeking assurances that
they will not lose money on Securl-
ties they now own
He said fluctuations would con-
tinue in the stock market because
of natural conditions and that the
securities commission would merely
stop manipulation of prices He
said operation of the commission
was in no manner guaranty OF
either a rise or fall in an indlvld-
ual security or group Of securities.
Law Effective Oct.
1t also became known that few
securities now listed on the eX-
changes would be dropped from
trading when the law becomes eff
fective Oct. /, in spite of the fact
that all listed securities are re-
