Asia Landa, Limited, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. At the high point this week the market was rather close to the July peak and it is logical to expect that some time will be required to push through these resistance levels. The position, at present, is indecisive, but each set-back appears to be accepted as the buying point for the better type of stocks.
Wheat; Renewed liquidation temporarily made the market healthier, The change in sentiment, which has been bearish, distaried shorts and caused some local buying,
Cotton: This market has been devoid of any outstanding feature ex- cept increasing beige sales. The showery weather will probably result in increased weevil damage.".
