This morning DR.. Fox issued the
following statement to the Press
TO THE PRESS:
1T is important that all raw
untreated ditch water be boiled or
disinfected as noted in formulas
prepared by this department. This
action we have advocated for some
ySoAS Pdobs
I'm cities where the water is
adequately treated and supervised
such action is unnecessary. In the
city of FL Centro our water is
carefully checked as a routine mat
ter, meteorological samples being
taken regularly. and the chlorine
residual being checked likewise. In
the present emergency bacteriolog-
ical samples are being made daily
and the chlorine tests made twice
day. Our Ell Centro water sup
ply is safe, as is probably, most of
the other incorporated cities in
the county.

WARREN F. FOX, M. D.,
County Health Officer
The county health officer in a
letter to M. j. Dowd, chief engi-
neer of the irrigation district, re-
quested the complete cooperation
of all employees, particularly zan-
jeros, in reporting to his office all
instances where communicating in
fences exist on ditch banks. This
should be brought home very
strongly to these employees, DR.
Fox writes, in order that we may
prevent serious situation from
developing.
He offers typhoid vaccination to
all employees of the district and
all citizens. The vaccine used, he
says, protects not only against ty-
phoid fever but also paratyphoid
fever A and B. Severe reactions
are infrequent and in most in
stances there is little loss of time
from work. If proper arrange
mentS can be made whereby large
groups can be present I will call
at central points and give this
service, DR.. Fox states.

professional services and monies
advanced and disbursed for the
benefit of the defendant. OF this
only a small amount has been re-

New York Stocks

NEW YORK, June 30-Today was
the smallest Saturday session on
the stock exchange in more than
10 years, and SO far as price changes
were concerned the market might
as well have been closed, as were
all the minor commodity exchanges.
Sales totalled 10000 shares, the
lightest since Aug. IL, 1928.
Measured by the averages, prices
were static. Here and there a
special issue swung out Of the
prevalent narrow range. Case trans
action dropped more than a point,
while U. S. Smelling advanced
more than a point. Dome featured
the gold miners with a gain OF
is points to AZ. Nash rose is
to II II on restoration Of the
dividend A few inactive issues made
wider changes.
Aside from the foregoing issues.
the main list fluctuated in a half
range with gains and losses about
evenly distributed. Minor declines
were noted in Allied Chemical, Am
erican Telephone, Commercial Sol
vents, National Steel, Southern
Pacific, Westinghouse Electric, and
woolworth. Equally small advances
were scored by such stocks as
New York Central. Phillip Morris
Ltd, American Smelling, Socony
Vacuum, and Montgomery Ward.
Steel news included the weekly
rate set at Youngstown. That was
placed at 20 per cent Of capacity
for the coming week, against a
rate of SO per cent a waak ago. 1t was
the largest drop since the fig
ures have been compiled.
- Leading steel issues nevertheless
rallied to the previous close after
early declines.
Metals Active
Most activity Of the session CEN
tered around the metal group in
such issues as American Metals, ana
Cerro de Pasco. Automobile is
sues had relatively large turn
over. Steel common, National
Dairy and American Telephone
were among the first 10 in activity.
The only commodities in which
there was trading today were grains
and cotton. The latter firmed 6
to 10 points at the outset and was
steady throughout the short ses-
sion. Wheat eased slightly. but 9TH
er grains made small gains.
Foreign exchange trading here
was light because of absence OF
dealings abroad. The dollar was
firm in all currencies save the
mark which rallied in dollar terms.
Bonds we're dull and prices mixed.
u. S. governments were firm.

INDIAN COTTON
EXPORTS UP

Exports of Indian cotton to the
United Kingdom increased more
than 100 per cent during the In
dian financial year 1S3S-34, fig
ures published in the current bull
letin of Samuel Montagu and Com
pany Gondon) indicate. Total
shipments amounted to 341,745
bales (4OO pounds to the bale)
compared with 167,O82 in l9S2e3S
and 166, ,449 in 1882, and were
the largest in recent years.
With the exception Of exports
to Japan, India increased its vol
ume in all Of it's major markets
and the total number Of bales ex-
ported rose to 2,739,951 from g..
O62, ,665 in 1928. Current fig
ures are the largest since 1925, 1856
were reported in l930-31.
Like the United Kingdom, China
increased its takingS by over 100
per cent exports to China rising
to $780, ,767 bales from 1S4,025. In
this case, however, the increase
did not represent enlarging a new
market as the figures are still well
below the averages for recent
years. In 1882, for example,
India exported 437,405 bales of
cotton to China and in 19S0-31 a
total Of COS, 500.
For the past three years. exports
of cotton from India to Japan
have been well below the averages
for preceding years, despite the
fact that Japan has extended
every effort to expand her exports
Of finished textiles. Indian cotton
exports to Japan last year touched
g. new low at 1922, 1854 bales, com.
pared with 1,0S4,641 in 1928,
Last years exports were only TO-.
600 bales in excess Of the pre-war

'The Silver Purchase Act

the tax which is imposed upon
speculative profits"
Giving the position Of Com
modify Exchange on the matter,
Mr.. Levine said:
'"The Exchange proposes to

"The Exchange has been In
