Asia Lands, Limited, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. Reactionary predictions are in the air but frankly we do not know what they are based upon. We hear rumours that London is selling and that there is large profit- taking A warning comes from high places lest speculation get out of control. At the closing the market looked as though we could expect mora pressure tomorrow morning. Wheat: There was world-wide buy- ing of all grains which absorbed profit-taking on a large scale. There is a further pessimistic crop report from the North West Cotton: Values advanced early to a now high on foreign speculative buying but later weakened on a forecast of showers in the West Belt and lower foreign exchange. The acreage reduction campaign is an encouraging factor. Silver: Prices are working nearer parity to the foreign markets, although they are still somewhat below. Business Done: 5,230,000 shares.
