The speakers were unanimous in pointing out that it was impossible to compete on the open market with goods produced in countries where the standard of living is low and where the conditions of labour cannot be compared with these prevailing in Europe and America,
The resolution proposes that the quota be based on Japanese silk exports from 1927 to 1931.

Azia Lands, Limited, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. There has been little change in the general picture. Rails and utilities were somewhat unsettled, while industrial shares were comparatively firm, General business indicates that the situation is holding its own, with improvement starting in some directiona
Wheat: Eastern selling caught "stop" orders. The steadiness of the stock market cushioned the decline. According to a local news agency, indications point bullish weekly statistics, with the United States visible supply showing a moderate decrease
Cotton: Quiet, with the tone steady. The South and abroad were moderate sellers, which the Trade absorbed.
Silver: A newspaper announcement, relative to remonetisation of silver had considerable influence in absorbing marginal selling. With the existing long speculative interest, we must expect a continuance of violent fluctuations, such as were experienced yesterday and today, Business Dona: 580,000 shares.
