Asia Lands, Limited, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. We liked the action of the mar ket to-day, although there was no definite nea to back it up. It looked. as though the list is awaiting development of constructive news and the feeling is more confident that it will eventuate shortly.
Wheat: Urgent liquidation seems temporarily to be over the grain.. Trade expects that something important may be announced this afternoon at the press conference with the Currency Comptroller.
الى
Cotton: The Government report indicated a yield of 12,886,000 bales, which is larger than was anticipated. However, the market advanced after the report was published.
