Under pressure from the Federal Reserve Board and other powerful financial interests, Wall Street today adopted more vigorous measures to put its house in order. This was accomplished by further severe impairment of quoted values, turnover of more than 2,500,000 shares -the year's record-and an advance in call loans to 30 per cent, a rate unparalleled since the panic of 1907.

General Motors Drops. General motors, which recently achieved the distinction of selling at a higher price than any the list, was again under persistent pressure, dropping 68 1-2 points to 280, or a loss of 126 1-2 points from its high record of last week. There was little calling of loans, but only, small sums were available on the call at the opening rate of 14 per cent, while time money was scarcely obtainable except for short dates at to 8 per cent.

Advance In Discount. Officials of the local reserve bank held a regular meeting, but in keeping with the statement issued yesterday, 110 action looking to a further advance of the discount rate was taken.

The "Street" buzzed with rumors and gossip during the day of the large winwings made by prominent bear traders.

There is little doubt that the aggressive tactics of that element added very materially to the decline. Many additional "stop loss" orders were caught in the day's reaction. While trading was most active, some of the highly speculative issues dropped two to five points between sales. The mechanism of the Stock Exchange was taxed to 8 greater extent than at any time in its history. Not until 3:41 p.

m. did the last of the day make its appearance on the ticker. COLD WAVE PROSPECT HAD NO EFFECT ON N. O. COTTON Market Felt Severe Pressure From Liquidation By Long Contract Holders New Orleans, Nov.

MISSIONARY TELLS OF CHINA Delivers Address Before Episcopalians in Interest of Nation-wide Campaign Speaking under the auspices of the Nation-Wide Campaign, Rev, Edwin J. Lee, of. Anking, China, last night described his 17 years of missionary work in China for the Episcopal church, at a mass meeting of Episcopalians at Christ Church. Mr. Lee commenced by saying that it takes imagination to grasp China for it contains more than one-fourth of the world's population.

He declared that the Chinese are neither weak nor volatile; that they have splendid intellectual physical yigor, and that their power is shown by the fact of Chinese students taking their proportionate the honors as students in American 1 colleges. Their moral standing and national ideals, he said, are of the highest, and he commented on their worship of their old literature. China, he said could support twice the population it now has. Since the Boxer uprising he told of the great changes that China has undergone-of 600 miles of railroads, steamers, newspapers and telephones. For 100 years or more it has been feeling the impact of western civilization and has found that it must have scientific knowledge from the West.

In 1906 the official examinations were stopped thereby killing the hopes of the old literati and opening the way for western civilization. Foot binding and opium have been done away with and four million are studying in China what we study over here. The old prejudices to western influences have gone and there is even warm receptivity to western teachings. Onehalf million dollars is given every year by Chinese Christians. He laid emphasis on the fact that Christian missions have made leaders for both church and state in- a land where it was formerly impossible for a Christian to official.

He cited the instance of an old Confucian scholar that came to be baptized, now, during the ceremony, he the tears falling from the old man's eyes at the thought of Christ dying for him, and when through he said: "Now what can I Mr. Lee declared that a year of work now is worth a decade later on for the time is exactly ripe for doing a powerful amount of good. The country just now, he said, is full of younger students impatient of Confucius and the time is ripe for the converting of the gross sensualists and Infidels that the country "The is full Wide Campaign means that we are to have what we need for this work," he said, going into details to show what was needed, and in doing 80 he showed how pitifully inadequate the present force of workers are. In closing Mr. Lee impressed upon the parents that they must teach children the value of missions from childhood, and that the best missionaries have been those who were trained for it from childhood.

SURE RELIEF FROM FIERY SKIN DISEASES Will Never Come From Salves, Ointments, or Other Local Treatment. Usually those who continue to suffer from stubborn ailments are those who refuse absolutely to heed the teachings of medical science. New discoveries are being constantly made, and those who fail to take the wonderful accomplishments of men of science are standing in their own light, and will continue under the handicap of disease. A million gallons of lotions, ointments, salves, or other forms of local treatment will not give any real permanent relief from skin diseases. Get this fact firmly in your mind, and there is hope for you.

If you have ever been afflicted with eczema, tetter, boils, eruptions, or other similar skin irritations you can appreciate the real terrifying discomfort comes from these disorders. And what you are looking for is not merely temporary, palliative relief that may cause the terrible burning and itching to abate for awhile, but real genuine relief that shakes off the shackles of the disease, and restores the skin to its former healthy condition. But your eczema, tetter, boils, pimples, ache, scaly skin eruptions, and burning fiery irritations that cause so much discomfort by their terrifying itching, come from a tiny dis ease germ in your blood, which multiplies by the millions. These germs find some weak spot where they, can break through the skin and set up ROSS' FRIENDS SAYS HE WILL DEFEAT ELLIS Wrestling and Boxing Bouts at Auditorium Attracting More Attention Than Usual The advance sale of seats for the auditorium events Friday night indicate that the biggest crowd of the season will witness the wrestling match between Jack Ross-and "Kid" Ellis and the boxing bout between John Henderson and Clarence Johnson.

The boxing bout is attracting just as much if not more interest. Johnson and Henderson, although of unknown quantity, have a large number of admirers who say the fighters will show more class than any other glove artists who have performed before Raleigh audiences.
