20 * Utilities 40 Bonda asia Landa, Limited, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. It looks as though there was. considerable switching today from alcohol to gold stocks, the Administra tion's new gold programme being responsible to the enthusiasm for gold stocka". The general market looks as though the inflation complex is again taking bold. We understand there was a substantial increase in outside interest today.
Whest: The report that the Government is buying over for the present caused liquidation. The market was vulnerable owing to the lack of shorts.
יך
Cotton: Hedge selling was much lighter and buying more constant. Sentiment was more friendly.
Silver: Opened higher, with trade interest on both sides. Values advanced sharply in the last hour on commission-house buying, due to the strength of stocks.
