Asia Landa, Limited, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. The weakness represented largely the carry-over type of selling of the past few days. However, less pressure was evident. The rally towards the close did not seem, to indicato de- Bnitely that turn of importance is at hand.L
Wheat: Long liquidation continued with prices caning; then new buying together with short covering rallied the market about two cents. Prices eased at the close.
Cotton: Hedge selling caused at the opening a decline, Speculative demand was poor. Germany's withdrawal from the League caused some selling.
Silver: Opened sharplý lower under long liquidation which uncover- ed stop loss orders. The weakness continued due to some extent to Ger-
man news.
