NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK. May 10. RHCot-
ton turned easier Saturday under
weekend liquidation and foreign
selling. Fluctuations were somewhat
irregular In a further readjustment
Of differences between months. Fl
nal prices showed net losses of 4

action Of stocks. More favorable
reports from the cotton goods mar
ket and continued cold rains in the
west failed TO attract buying.
The amount OF cotton on ship
board awaiting clearance at the end
OF the day was estimated at $4,000
bales against $1,000 last year and
l04.000 two years ago.

Coastal Fishing Bill
Report Is On Display

Printed copies Of the report made
by a legislative committee which in
veStigated coastal fishing last fall
have been sent to Brownsville. and
one Is on file at the chamber OF
commerce office where 1t may be
seen by anyone interested.
The committee In its report favors
opening Of waters Of the coast TO
drag SEEMING. although some Of the
bills which 1t sponsored In the last
legislature were vetoed by Governor
Alfred. The governor in vetoing the
seining bills gave the same reason
as that advanced by the Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce in its brief
which Is included in the printed
report. This reason Is that the
tourist trade which good fishing on
the coast win attract viii be more
valuable to the coastal sections than
the result Of drag seining In bays.

Blue MONDAY
WARNING MADE

Especial % The Heraldl

HARLINGEN. May is.-Beware
Of Blue Mondayl
This was the warning issued Sat-
uIday by the Valley Vegetable Grow
ers office here to their members and
others because Of the tendency OF
the trade to become alarmed over
| sluggishness Of the receiving mar
kets after week-ends.
Just because some OF the re-
ccivers are q little late getting
down to business on Monday morn
L-gs and the shippers don't start
getting orders bright and early they
become alarmed and want to start
quoting lower prices to get things
going, the growers spokesman said
1T is Just an old Spanish GUS
tom that has ruined more than
one deal for Valley growers and
we advise that they get prices from
the shippers on Mondays before
harvesting their tomatoes" said
Homer p. Huntley, secretary.
In his opinion there Is a good
tomato deal ahead because the
Valley supply Is not heavy, track
holdings are below zoo cars, the
demand Is good and quality OF VAL
ley stock improved.
The association has not set q
minimum price and as long as three
{. nts or better Is paid per pound by
Valley shippers it may not peg the
price. The association office re-
ported that there was no reason
for the prices going below three
cents and that 1t did not intend
to permit a cut.
r. Roy Ruff Of Brownsville. presi-
dent, and George Stohler Of La
Feria, will return from q tour OF
Texas tomato areas probably Mon
day. They have been gathering in
| formation on extent Of the move
ment, quality and prices being
paid.
Present indications are that Tex

least for the next three weeks and
possibly the next 30 days, It was
stated here.
