N. Y. STOCKS
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—(£0—Stock
market bears launched a strenuous
drive against the pivotal shares in
the earlier hours todav. Their activ
ity was accompanied by a wild
rumor or two. one of which origin
ating in London, concerned the sta
bility of conditions in Germany,
and as a result considerable liqui
dation appeared from nervous hold
ers. The new ticker got about a
minute behind the market.
Steels and Utilities were freely
offered U. 8. Steel broke 3 points
and there was a similar drop in
American Power & Light. Vana

the market eased off later in the

forecast.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. Sept. 19—'/P»—Cot
ton opened steady, unchanged to 4
points lower under over nieht sell

a little more active according to
some observers, but it appeared to
be quite readily absorbed around the

buving.

partly for foreign account includ

VALLEY LAUDED
IN CHI STORY
I
The Chicago Fruit and Vegetable
Reporter, a adily publication printed
in Chicago, carries a lengthy story
on the Lower Rio Grade Valley In
the Sept. 13 issue.
The article, entitled A Quick
Short Story of the Valley of the
Rio Grande'’ by William Clendenin,|
J has created unusual interest in Chi
cago, according to J. R. Coverley.
Chicago, who mailed a marked copy j
j of this publication to The Herald.
’ Seems to be doing more to stir
things up in Chicago than all the
land companies combined,” Mr.
Coverley said.
The article starts off with a quo
tation from Robert Bums, and con
tinues that the Valley has “a magic
' combination of glories of California
and Florida blended into one, in
many respects surpassing both.” In
describing the Valley, the author
says, “This Wonder-Valley of the
Rio Grande runs about seventy-five
miles along the river of that name,
north from Brownsville on the Am
erican side and about twenty wide
as far back as irrigation works ex
tend. That’s all there Is to it, now
1 or ever, probably, A regional gem
of the American sub-tropics.” •
“Twenty years ago this same Val
iev was a desert, a supposedly ir
redeemable, Irreclaimable waste.
! Tnen somebody poured some river
water on a patch of parched soil,
planted something, and produced
regular Jack and the Beanstalk re
sults.”
The article is a glowing tribute to
the Valley throughout, and occu
' pies approximately two columns in
the Reporter, which has a tremen
dous circulation among f-grlcultur
isu and produce buyers.
Citrus is mentioned in particular
in the story.
