ci pal speaker on a program that
held the attention of the 300 per*
sons gathered at the El Jardln hotel
end which was pronounced one of
the most enjoyable occasions ever
staged by the service clubs of
Brownsville.
Drew Patteson, a member of the
port industrial committee of the
chamber of commerce told the
audience that one of the major oil
companies was expected to sign a
lease agreement for a location on
the Brownsville port within a few
days and that others were expected
to follow suit.
Details of publicity measures tak
er for Brownsville and the port
were explained by G. C. Richard
son and entertainment numbers
Sven by the San Benito trio of
rs. E. F. Brady, Mrs. J. D. Wara
and Mias Maude Nosier and by
Emery Parnell of Harlingen.
An address by Miss Ruth Bran
non of the Federal Housing Admin
istration was a feature.
Complimenting Brownsville on
the manner in which It was attack
ing the port project and its develop
ment, T. L Evans emphasized the
need for a complete cooperation if
community development it properly
function and go forward.
“You have your organizations. In
your case the chamber of commerce,
to attack these problems and to
prepare programs of development.
Once the program Is set. Join in
and do jour best to help put it
over.” Evans exhorted. “Criticism
never got any community anywhere,
unless it was constructive criticism
and deliv(Ted to the right place, the
directors of the organization ”
Lauds C. C. Work
As au example of community co
operation and staying with a Job,
Evans cited the work that has been
done by the Houston and Browns
ville chambers of commeroe since
1922 for the construction of the
Matamoros to Victoria highway.
In 1922, he said, assurances were
given that the main road to Mex
ico city would be routed from Mat
amoros by way of Victoria. The
routing was later changed, but
right now assurances have been
given that the road will be undei
construction within a year. Construc
tive work and keeping with it will
bring a victory that will bring thou
sands of tourists yearly to the Val
ley Evans pointed out.
Speaking of the Brownsville port.
Drew Patteson pointed out thai
even before the port begins opera
tions, railroad rate reductions to
tally around WOO,000 yearly have
been granted and predicted that
other reductions and advantage*
would follow.
Assurances of tonnage given by
various leading Industrialists and
railroad men of Mexico Indicate
that the port will start off with a
sufficient amount of available ton
nage to warrant two sailings a week.
Patteson stated.
Details of the manner in which
solicitations are being carried on in
the attraction of industry to
Brownsville and other workings of
the Industrial committee and the
navigation commission were re
counted.
Richardson manager of the cham
ber of commerce, spoke briefly on
Brownsville and port literature and
publicity.

country, politician* by inherent
nature, to make the men of the
land improve their homes, build new

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. March 28. JPr-The
shadow of international monetary
uncertainty has thrust across finan
cial markets anew Thursday and
created fresh uneasiness that held
price movements in a narrow area.
While some sort of drastic action
had been looked for in Belgium, as a
result of the prolonged difficulty ex
perienced with its currency, suspen
sion of course and foreign exchange
was a mild surprise, and brought
i the financial community one step
| nearer the realization that a shake
up in international monetary units
I was inevitable with its repercus
i sums on world trade and finance an
j unknown quantity.
Stocks showed only a mild disposi
tion to carry through with the mod
est improvement made in the prev
ious session and with few exceptions
leaders see-sawed up and down in a
fractional area. U. S. Smelting gave
the market another shock by careen
ing wrildly downhill for a loss of
around 6 points before steadying,
but other non-lerrous metals were
inclined to go their own way and held
about even.
Continued adverse weather con
ditions throughout the mid-west was
reflected In the hesitant movement
of Sears Roebuck. Montgomery Ward
and Great Western Sugar which
were offered in small volume and
receded slightly.
Coca Cola, star performer in Wed
nesday's upturn, extended its ad
vance nearly 2 points when fresh
rumors of a possible stock split up
were circulated.
The cotton market was more un
settled than any other international
commodity and dipped around $1 a
bale before steadying under renewed
buying Wheat and other grains in
Chicago were handicapped by the
weather man with the trend slight
ly lower in com and oats and barely
steady in others
The corporate bond market acted
indifferently and U. S. governments
reflected no special enthusiasm
from the announcement In Washing
ton that slightly more than $1,500.
000.000 out Of $1,850,000,000 of. 4%
per cent liberty bonds called for re
demption had been converted into
new 2% per cent treasury bonds and
that increased cash balances en
abled the treasury' to reduce its week
ly offering of discount bills.

Texas, was stored with the Moody
concern.
Cotton went down in price, and
the firm asked that Poiley put up
additional funds to cover the lot*.
He had already posted two 110,000
notes, evidence in the trial showed
Poiley relused to further margin
the account, defense claimed, and
further contended that this was the
equivalent of an order to sell.
The cotton company, which has
continued to hold the cotton since
1929, contended that through a spe
cial arrangement it had the »ight to
continue carrying Poiley on ihe ac
count because of his excellent cred
it rating with them. They contend
ed that they had never received an
expressed order to sell and have
continued to carry the cotton for his
estate.
The Jury’s finding, in effect, was
that the firm should have sold the
cotton when Poiley refused to fur
ther margin the account.
The company as suing for about
$212,000 advanced in purchasing the
cotton and freight, storage and in
surance brought the sum in con
troversy up to about $325,000.
It is believed that the Judgment,
to be drawn, will be against the de
fendant for difference between the
cost of the cotton and the price it
would have brought when Poiley
allegedly refused to margin the ac
count. Attorneys estimate that this
would amount to about $12,000. The
cotton, still held in storage at Gal
veston. was bought at about 18 cents
per pound.
The suit was defended by H. B
Galbraith of Brownsville and W. I.
Davis of Center. Texas. This is the
second trial of the case, a previous
verdict having been reversed in hitl
er court and sent back for new trial.
Plaintiff counsel gave notice of ap
peal.
