COTTON DROPS
ON LIQUIDATION
I
Covering For Over Week
End Halts Drop But
July Closes 20.07
_
NEW ORLEANS, March 23.--4T1)
—Continued liquidation induced by
yesterday s report of a larger crop
prediction by the department of
agriculture caused cotton prices to
seek lower levels today. Some cov
ering for over the wTeek-end check
ed the decline for a time but the
market weakened again in late
trading and July dropped to 20.03
and closed at 20.07. or 7 points net
lower. The general market closed
barely steady at net declines of 7
to 10 points.
Liverpool cables were relatively
steady but the local market ig
nored this factor and opened easy
at a decline of 3 to 8 points. The
market appeared to be still under
the influence of the report issued
yesterday that the department of
agriculture predicted larger acre
age and crop for this season, de
spite the department’s emphatic
denial of the'issuance of any such
report.
Prospects for favorable weather
in the belt added to the selling
which ultimately carried May off
to 19.99, July 20.02 and October
19.88, or 11 to 13 points under the
previous close. Offerings were ab
sorbed at the decline by shorts
covering for over the week-end ana
prices rallied 9 to 12 points from
the lows but the market weakened
again in final trading under re
newed liquidation, losing 6 to 8
points cf the gain. May closed
at 20.03 and October 19.91.

Retreat General Through
out List; Reserve Body
Upsets Market
By CLAUDE A. JAGGER
(Associated Press Financial Writer)
NEW YORK, March 23.—<£>)—
The increasing cloudiness of the
credit outlook, with another meet
ing of the federal reserve board in
Washington today, threw the stock
market into a general but orderly
retreat.
Selling was heavy throughout the
two-hour session, and scores of rep
resentative issues were depressed 2
to 5 points, many reaching new
low prices for 1929. The Associat
ed Press index of 50 leading indus
trials sagged more than 3 points,
making a loss for the week of near
ly 9 points, and the index of 20
rails dropped nearly a point to a
new low for the year. Trading was
moderately active for a Saturday
session, with total sales aggregat
ing 2.144.520 shares.
Wall strete has grown extremly
uneasy over the frequent meetings
of the federal reserve board. Sharp
break on the Chicago stock ex
change, attributed to federal re
serve pressure gainst Chicago mem
ber banks, was interpreted as in
dicating that the reserve officials
are prepared to take drastic meas
ures, although no changes have yet
been made in the rediscount rate.
A severe test is predicted • for the
money Market next w^eek, as prep
arations are made for the April" 1
quarterly disbursements. The de
mand for funds at the end of the
first quarter is usually the heav
iest of the year, save for the year
end.
The day’s fcuisness news Included
a report from Youngstown that
some lightening of the pressure for
automotive steel has been noted, in
dicating that some manufacturers
are planning to reduce their pro
duction.
The copper were again sold heav
ily, a report that Newmont had
lightened its holdings of Kenne
cott swelling the movement.
Greene Cananea sold down 6
points at one time, and Aanaconda
lost more than five.
Houston oil lost 6 points, and Ca
nadian Pacific, Burroughs Adding
Machine, General Electric, Curtiss
Aero, Goodyear, Industrial Ravon,
National Lead, F. G. Shattuck. Ros
sia Insurance and Wright Aero lost
4 to 5 points.
An outstanding strong spot in the
declining market was International
Telephone, which mounted more
than 5 points to a record price. I
Foreign exchanges were quiet and
generally steady.
AUSTRIANS LIKE HORSE
VIENNA, March 23.—(JP)—Thirty
thousand horses were consumed by
Vienna last year, says the National
Butchers’ association. Many Aus
trians assert horse flesh is more
nourishing than beef and some res
taurants serve it exclusively. Be
sides it costs less than beef.

Over 11-Market Circuit
During Week
KANSAS CITY, March 23.—(^P>—
(U. S. D. A.)—Cattle trade this
week around the 11-market circuit
was featured by further price up
turns on the lighter weights of fed
steers and yearlings, some centers
reporting gains of 25@50 cents on
light yearlings. Low grade steers
of light weight occupied especially
strong position. Demand remained
narrow for medium weight and
heavy steers, with weak to lower
values prevailing at markets where
this contingent formed a fair pro
portion of the supply. A liberal
movement of dairy calves at
northern live stock centers prompt
ed sharp declines on vealers, prices
on this class previously having
been relatively high. Stockers and
feeders ruled unevenly higher with
country demand broad for thm
light weight stockers. Aggregate
receipts were around 180,600 as
compared W’ith 163,099 last wTeek
and 168.506 the corresponding per
iod a year ago.
Values on hogs continued to
fluctuate from day to day but trade
was not nearly as eratic as last
week and two weeks ago. Closing
prices are unevenly 10@50c lower
than a week ago, with the most
decline shown at Chicago and St.
Louis. The closing top at Chicago
was $11.85. Total offerings were
around 563,700, an increase of 175,
000 over last week but 74.200 short
of a year ago.
Fed wooled lambs arc closing the
week at generally strong to 25c
higher prices. Scattered shipments
of native spring lambs were receiv
ed around the loop and several
decks of Arizona springers were
offered ta Kansas City. Late sales
of Arizonas were 50c lower than
initial consignments. Aged sheep
were scarce at firm to higher
values. Chicago had a top of $17.75

FORT WORTH. March 23.—(IP)—
Saturday’s cattle market here was
of little conseqquence as well as
light volume as trading limited to
mixed loads of rather common
quality. Buyers cleaned the yards
at an early hour at values in line
with yesterday’s quotations.
FASCIST ELECTION IS
POLITICAL GESTURE
ROME, March 23.—(AP>—The 435
honorables of the house of rep
resentatives of the United States
of America may well envy the 400
candidates for the new Italian
Chamber of Deputies, who' are up
for endorsement in a nation-wide
plebiscite. For not only have the
Italian legislators not had to spend
a blessed cent to obtain their elec
tions or reelections, but they have
not made a single speech. And to
top it all. they have no opponents!
Eaker Expresses
Appreciation of
City Hospitality
Appreciation for the hospitality
extended on the occasion of his re
cent visits to Brownsville was ex
pressed by Captain Ira C. Eaker,
| dawn-to-dusk flier, in the follow -
5 ing letter to G. C. Richardson,
manager of the Brownsville Cham
ber of Commerce:
“We reached Kelly Field yester
day afternoon. I was sorry I did
not have the opportunity of seeing
you as we passed through Browns
ville: however, there were signs of
approaching bad weather and we
thought we had better get back as
.—...... ==>
quickly as possible.
“We appreciate more than you
will ever know the wonderful hos
pitality extended by your commit
tees and the citizens of Brownsville
i on the occasion of each of my re
I cent visits to your city. Miss
! Fechet particularly asked me that
I thank you for her for the many
kindnesses your citizens extended
to her while in your city. I would
appreciate from you a list of the
names of your associates that Miss
Fechet and myself might send a
note to each of them personally
thanking them for their kindness,
i “I delivered the letters of your
i chamber of commerce and I feel
: sure therefore, that you will hear
from the addresses in the near fu
ture.”

Your BEST Crop
• • i
Much has been said of the wonderful pos
sibilities of the Lower Rio Grande Valley
as a fertile land where almost anything can
be grown.
Too little has been told of the development
of cotton—your best crop from a money
standpoint.
Cotton can be raised during that part of
the year when the land would otherwise
stand idle. Cotton is primarily a “sun
crop” and thrives during hot weather when
other plants wither and die. Plant cotton
in order to utilize the land which would
remain idle during the summer months if
not seeded to his money crop.
Cotton is not difficult to raise as its culture
is well known to hundreds of laborers in
the Valley. It recuires very little irriga
tion and only reaso able attention during
the growing season. The returns on your
investment are unusually high and sure.
The Valley produces the first bale of cot
ton. It produces the best cotton .... Now
it is in the province of Valley farmers to
produce the MOST cotton per acre. Mod
ern methods such as are now being em
ployed, coupled with Standard Certified
seed and unexcelled ginning facilities en
able the cotton farmer to realize a hand
some profit on his crop. Year by year
more and better cotton is being produced
in the Valley, and the planter is becoming
aware of the fact that Cotton is his “best
crop.”
