New orleans - Traders impressed
with seriousness of reports from Texas
fear further damage by insects there,
especially in the important producing
sections Of central and northern por-
tions of state. Sentiment moderately
bulish,-Beer.

Waco, TeX.-While there is no doubt
but what the boll worm has done ma
terial damage In Central and South
Central Texas, we consider we still have
a prospect for a fair yield ultimately.
In the balance of the state, especially
In West and North Texas, we consider
outlook very promising, and while there
is an occasional complaint Of boil
worms, these and complaints OF other
pests are epected at this time, OF sea-

sold moderately on the lack of very
bullish features in the weekly crop re-
ports, and It now looks as II both sides
are waiting for fresh ammunition
