ler sales manager of the Rio
Grande Valley Citrus Exchange
there was no demand for Texas
oranges and the price was down.
The demand quickened immed-
iately after fee campaign began
and some operators today are over-
sold Miller stated. Not only that
but the price gradually rose until
the last carlo: shipments brought
nearly 15c a box more than the
price which prevailed at the begin-
ning of shipments.
A plan for imancing an adver-
tising campaign which will cover
Texas and the Middle West will be
brought before shippers attending
Thursday night’s meeting Keere
and Miller stated.
“We feel that any proposal which
has for its purpose a broadening of
the market for Valley grapefruit
and Valley oranges and which seeks
a quickened demand is worthy of
Investigation and of serious con-
sideration. and for that reason we
sincerely hope that every shipper
of citrus fruit will attend the meet-
ing to be held here Thursday
night’’ the two stated.

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK March 27. —0P>—
Stocks pointed sharply downward
Tuesday following news that the
president had requested congress to
pass an exheange regulatory bill
"with teeth In It."
For half an hour the ticker tape
ran from 1 to 5 minutes behind
floor transactions and leading issues
drepped 1 to 3 or more points. The
selling rush which found blocks of
1.000 to 6000 shares appearing then
d ed almost av quickiy w i.e n
and moderate rallying tendencies
appeared. Dullness however ac-
companies the recoveries.
- Wheat down more than 2 cents
a bushel at one time pared its
losses. Cotton was off more than 50
cents a bale. Silver and rubber
sagged. Corporation Bonds were
heavy but U. 8. government secur-
ities were firm. International dollar
rates Improved.
Shares of Allied Chemical Amer-
ican Commercial Alcohol and U. 8.
Industrial Alcohol yielded about 4
each. Those down 1 to 3 included
American Telephone Chrysler Gen-
eral Motors Consolidated Gas U. 8.

Roebuck. Bethlehem Steel Amer-
ican Tobacco B Case Du Pont U.
8. Smeltin American Smeltin
Schenley National Distillers F^ota
Fe N. Y. Central Union Pacific
United Aircraft and Douglas.
Brokerage circles ge-’vrally rad
come to accept the probability of a
control opeasure being enacted this
session. At the same time there wo*
some hope that all of the original
"teeth” would not be present when
the bill became a law. The pres-
ident's reiteration that he was com-
mitted to "define regulation of ex-
changes" consequently was far from
comforting the financial district
With the Washington tidings still
fresh the speculative rankj were
further confused by announcement
of another decline In the price of
stock exchange seats.

posed to establish a "Rio Grande
Valley” division of the 8an Antonio
Home Owners Loan corporation of-
fice in which only Valley applica-
tions would be handled.
This recommendation has not yet
been acted upon It la learned.
Would Mean Little
Valley men who haw been in-
strumental in the move to obtain
a Valley office of the corporation
pointed out Tuesday morning that
such a procedure would bring little
relief to the Valley In its efforts
to secure quick action on loan ap-
plications. Lawyers emnloyed In
this division of the San Antonio
office would still be unfamiliar
with Valley land titles In exam-
nation and apipoval of which most
of the delay in granting loan ap-
plications has been exp^hced.
Cameron county chambers of
commerce stated Tuesday to The
Herald that their main interest is
in obtaining a Valley office which
would speed up the granting of
the loans and that It made no
difference to them where the of-
fice was located.
A meeting ot the board of direc-
tors of the San Benito chamber of
commerce was held early Tuesday
morning. when it was decided un-
animously to authorise a wire to
Cong. West stating that irrespec-
tive of location that organization
insisted upon the establishment in
the Valley oi either a branch ol
the San Antonio office or a re-
gional office ol the Home Owners
Loen corporation.
J. E. Bell manager of the San
Benito organization told The
Brownsville Herald that speed In
closing the loans is all his organ-
ization desires and that his cham-
ber of commerce is willing for the
office “to be placed in Palfurrias.
if only action may be had at
once."
Location No Issue
•
A. L. Brooks manager of the
Harlingen chamber stated to The
Herald that he had surveyed Hi-
dalgo county and had found little
opposition to the establishment of
th| branch office in Harlingen
such opposition as developed com-
ing from “po’itical circles."
“However we don* give a con-
tinental where the office Is located
at Harlingen or Mission just as
long as It is established and the
closing of loans speeded up."
Similar sentiments were express- '
ed by G. C. Richardson manager i
and W. B. Clint president of the
Brownsville chamber of commerce
und by R. J. Thomas secretary ol
the La Peria chamber.
Brooks of Harlingen told The
Herald that he had received a let-
ter from Cong. West stating that
idea of either a branch ar regional
office in the Valley hkd been
abandoned and that it was now
proposed to segregate a division
in the San Antonio office to handle
*10 Grande Valley applications.
A telegram of like nature was
also received by Brooks from Sen
Morris Sheppard.
In reply Brooks stated that he
had wired West urging that re-
gardless of political expediency the
branch or regional office should
t. established
Idea Abandoned

Don’t Take
Unknown Drugs
Doctors throughout the world
agree there is no greater folly than
to buy and take unknown drugs.
Ask your own doctor.
So—when you go into a store
for ml Bayer Aspirin see that
you get it.
Remember that doctors en-
dorse Genuine Bayer Aspirin as
SAFE relief for headache colds
sore throat pains of rheumatism
and neuritis etc.
Just remember this. Demand
and get Genuine
Bayer Aspirin.

Po'lowing this conference a tele- J
gram was dispatched to Cong. West
asking that the office be establish-
ed either at Edinburg. Hidalgo
county seat end residence ol J. C.
Looney Hidalgo county attorney
for the corporation or at Browns-
viUt. Cameron county seat and
residence of Judge Yates. .
A short time after the more
eras started word was received that j
It had been definitely decided to
establish a branch office of the !
Baa Antonio regional office and
that the Valley office would be
located at Harlingen with P. L
Flynn of that city in charge.
As the result of the opposition to
the choice of Harlingen which de- 1
reJop^d the idea of a a. .inch of-
flee seems to here been definitely
abandoned although had there
oeen no opposition the branch of-
fice would have started to func-
tion on Monday of this week.
Cameron county chambers of
commeroe are bodeful that as a
result of their relinquishment of
all claims to the site of a branen
office that the propcaal will again
be taken up and » branch offloe
established in Hidalgo county to
serve the entire Valley.
