Asia Lands, Limited, has received the following report from their Now York correspondente, E. A. Pierce & Co. The market gave an answer to doubters and the tape indicates a further advance. There was definite breaking of the July 1933 high levels and, at least in the case of industrials, this is probably before having a serious reaction.

Wheat: Markot firm and fairly active. The Trade was aided by the firmness of securities and buying by large Eastern interests. There are no indications of moisture in the South-West.

Cotton: Market strong under general demand. There was some selling which was readily absorbed at limits.

Bilver: Offerings were limited. Prices advanced in the East on general buying and on covering promoted by the Sterling advance along, with firmness in London, where heavy Chinese buying is reported. Business Done: 2,080,000 shares.
