COTTON MAKES
SLIGHT RALLY
Market Closes Steady With
Net Gains of 4 to
9 Points
NEW ORLEANS. April 27.—(AV
The cotton market rallied moderate
ly in the short session today owing
to much better Liverpool cables than
due and covering for over the week
end. July traded as high as 18.84,
up 15 points and closed at 18.76,
or 9 points net higher for the day.
The general market closed steady
at net gains of 7 to 9 points.
The opening transactions proved
the highs of the day with July at
13.85. October at 18.85 and Decem
ber at 18.93.
July closed at 18.78, October 18.77,
and December 18.87, or 7 to 9 points
net higher for the day.

NEW YORK, April
Weekend covering w’as held chief
ly responsible for moderate advances
in cotton today and was probably
promoted by relatively steady Liver
pool cables. The bulges met some
further liquidation on a favorable
view of the day’s weather reports,
but after selling off from 18.85 to
18.77, July rallied to 18.90 and closed
at 18.81. The general market closed
steady at net advances of 4 to a
points.
The opening was steady at an ad
vance of 2 to 10 points in response
to the relatively steady showing of
Liverpool. The market eased off
after the call under liquidation
through wire and commission
houses.
May declined from 19.58 to 19.51,
December from 19.04 to 18 99 which
carried the price level back within
2 or 3 points of yesterday's closing
quotations during the middle of the
morning.
Closing quotations were about 8 to i
9 points off from the best on the I
more active positions.
..The amount of cotton on ship
board at the end was estimated at
98,000 against 90.000 bales last year.

than the same week a year ago.
Firm to slightly higher prices were

SHOW DECREASE
Slump Due Largely To Slow
Movement of Cabbage,
Potatoes
By W. D. GOOGE
(U. S. Market News Bureau)
Valley shipments of vegetables as
reported Saturday morning were
approximately 400 cars lighter than
during the previous week. The
slump was due largely to the de
crease in the movement of cabbage,
beans and potatoes. The current
season for these commodities is
practically over. Carrots continue
to hold a prominent place, and
green com promises to become im
portant during the coming week.
Twelve cars of green wrapped to
matoes were moved up until Fri
day night, also a considerable vol
ume of pinks in mixed cars.
Despite the heavy shipments of
new potatoes from Texas and Flor
ida, the demand was heavy on
Monday and Tuesday. Prices ad
vanced quickly from $3.00 to $3.50
cwt. to growers, and from $3.25 to
$3.75 for carloads f. o. b. cash track.
Chicago and other terminal mar
kets were active through most of
the week, but closed steady Satur
day. Shipments from the Valley as
reported to date are 1461 cars, or
80 cars short of last season's total.
It is estimated that about a hun
dred cars remain to be ^shipped
from this section. The Sugarland.
Wharton and Eagle Lake sections
will begin shiping about May 10.
A feature of the potato deal has
been the advance of prices as the
season progressed. Usually the re
verse is expeetd. Last yar’s crop
of old potatoes carried over through
the winter was the largest on rec
ord. and in many sections they
were considered practically worth
less. A number of factors have
contributed to the strength of new
potatoes, the principal one perhaps
being generally mild weather in the
large consuming centers which cre
ated a good demand for new pota
toes, green beans and other spring
vegetables. The average daily con
sumption of potatoes in the United
States is above 600 carloads, or
more than a third of the entire crop
from this section. The quality of
the Valley product has been excel
lent, and the larger size require
ments for the U. S. No. 1 grade
have improved the appearance of
the stock in the markets.
Little change in prices were re
ported on other commodities, the
week closing with market condi
tions being reported" steady to
firm. The demand for practically
all vegetables has been moderate to
active. Good beans were hard to
get. and prices ranged from $1.50
to $2.50 per hamper to growers In
accordance with the quality. Ma
ture green tomatoes were bringing
5 and 6 cents per pound and pinks
around $1.50 per flat crate. The
tomato outlook is bright, due to
the uncertain conditions that exist
in Mexico which is a heavy ship
per of the crop at this time of the
year. A few carlot sales of the
Valley crop have been reported at
$3.50-3.75 per lug f. o. b. cash track.
Among the shipments reported
for the week are 133 cars of cab
bage. 27 beets, 218 carrots, 89 beets
and carrots, 394 potatoes, 21 green
beans, 12 tomatoes, 67 green corn,
and 240 mixed vegetables. The to
tal freight shipments to date this
in'oivP are fruifc 1729- vegetables
18 206 or a total of 19.935 cars.
This total is 304 cars short of the
entire freight movement on the
Missouri Pacific and Southern Pa
cific lines from the Lower Rio
Grande Valley last season. The
fan/1 Feen c°m shipments
are just beginning, and there are
hundreds of cars of each of several
other commodities to be shipped be
fore the season closes. It is esti
mated that the total movement of
ltf anud vegetable this season
a ill be about 5,000 cars.
WHEAT GAINS
AFTER LOSSES
--
Every Low Price Record For
Season Broken In
Early Trading
CHICAGO, Apirl 27.—(jp)—Every
low-price record for the season was
outdone in the wheat market today
but rallying power developed and
most of the losses were offset. An
nouncement of a reduction on export
rates on wheat shipped to the gulf
of Mexico from country points in
the southwest did a good deal to
counterbalance price breaks.
Closing quotations on wheat were
irregular. 5-8c to 7-8c up. oats at
l-8c decline to l-4@3-8c gain, and
provisions varying from 20c setback
to a rise of 5c.
Before the Chicago wheat market
today began to recover, values drop
ped to more than 13c a bushel un
der recent top figures. In addition
to unlooked for weakness which the
Liverpool market showed as a re
sult of heavy offerings from Canada
and Argentina, depression was caus
ed by persistent selling out on the
part of holders of contracts for May
delivery of wheat in Chicago.
Corn developed strength sooner
than was the case with wheat. Ex
cept at the start, buyers of corn were
in a majority.
Oats were unsettled owing to
somewhat adverse conditions hin
dering progress of the crop in sec
tions just seeded.

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STRONG
Sales Largest of Any Satur
day Session This Month;
Buying Is Brisk
NEW YORK, April 27.—(ff)—Op
erations for the advance were vigor
ously resumed on the stock market
today, in enthusiasm over the im
pressive resistance which the mar
ket displayed yesterday to 16 per
cent call money. Week-end profit
taking was readily absorbed, and
about a score of selected industrials
were briskly bought.
Tight money is expected next week
but credit was expected to east
gradually thereafter. The deter
mined stand taken by the large New
York banks in preventing any acute
situation in the money market yes
trday was distinctly rassuring.
Nvertheless, leading bankers are
anxious to see trading within mod
erate bounds.
The day’s news was meagre but
generally favorable, including addi
tional excellent first quarter earn
ings report.
The day’s trading was In the larg
est volume of any Saturday session
this month, with a turnover of 1,
740,510 shares, about 500,000 larger
than last Saturday’s. The Associat
ed Press price indices indicated that
yesterday’s losses were more than
regained.
United Aircraft was again a con
spicuous strong point, climbing
about 9 points to a record price.
Westinghouse Elecertci jumped
nearly six points. Coppers threw
off their recent slump and made
definite headway, with Kennecott
and Kreene Cananea making ex
treme gains of 3 and '5 points.
Commercial solvents, corn prod
ucts, Union Carbide and American
Railway Express sold up 2 to 4
points to new highs. In the oils,
Mexican seaboard made a further
gain on reports that the Cuttefisher
interests were accumulating the
stock. Pan-American rose 2 points.
Motor stocks were generally quiet.
Pierce Arrow A jumped 3 points,
and Chrysler was firm, while Gen
eral Motors sagged a point. Rails
were firm but quiet, with ew Ha
ven tsanding out with a rise of about
3 points to 104 3-8, the highest price
since 1913.
Foreign exchanges were firm, with
the German mark rallying to 23.69
cents, and the Dutch Guilder touch
ing a new high for the year at 40.15
1-2 cents.

LET ME HELP YOU
WORD YOUR WANT AD
\
I
I am employed by The Herald to give service to the
Valley people who use the Want Ads only occasion
ally. The folks with whom I deal, use Herald Want
Ads maybe four or five times a year—to sell some
odd pieces of furniture—hire a maid—or transact
the many little businesses that arise in every-day life.
These people aren’t regular day after day advertisers
and seldom become experienced in the real psycho
logy involved in the writing of a Want Ad to get the
most “pulling power”—we call it—out of every word
in their message.
/ i
So, as I said before, I am employed to help them—
to help you, reader, for I know that down in your
basement—in your attic or garage, there are stored
away many household articles which you no longer
use and whic hcould easily be turned itno cash—it
means your vacation money.
Let me help you word your Herald Want Ad. Let
me advise you what to say in it, and what not to
say. Let me help to get you results ....
