THE HUMBLE ECHO
Novefnber 12, 1943
Fat Stock Show And
Livestock Exposition
Houston,-Nov. 12. Plans for
a Brahman breeders’ auction to
be held at the Houston Fat
Stock Show and Livestock ex-
position, Feb. 4-13. 1944, are
being made according to J. W.
Sartweile, president.
The auction of the breeders
will be under the sponsorship
of tne American Brahman
Breeders Association, which
Mr. Sarcwelle also serves as
president, and a lively interest
is expected in this event. An
auction ot this type has been
requested by Brahman breeders
for several years but next year s
show is the first in which a
large enough number have ex-
pressed a desire for this auction
to warrant holding it, the presi-
dent ot the Far Stock Show an-
nounced.
The largest number of entries
in all classes of cattle and other
livestock tor so early a date
proves that the value of live-
stock expositions is fully recog-
nized by Southwest stockmen
interested in improving the
breeds of their animals. The
last day on which entries to the
Houston Fat Stock Show and
Livestock Exposition will be
taken is January 17, according
to Herman lip ecretary in
charge of the entry lists.
Seven interesting features
have been listed ter the 1944
show. These include classes
for breeders of beef cattle, sheep,
hogs, poultry and rabbits; also
classes for fat steers, lambs and
pigs; a jersey dairy show; fat
poulty show; boys' livestock
show for all classes: a calf
scramble and the famous
World's Championship Rodeo
and Horse Show.

Lights of New York
by L. L. STEVENSON
Being densely ignorant as to all
financial transactions, Robert J.
Murray, who was three times presi-
dent of the exchange and who was
recently succeeded by Eric Alliott,
had much trouble in trying to make
me understand what it was all
about. He finally succeeded in show-
ing me that the exchange serves as
a medium for divorcing price risks
from the handling of cotton and cot-
ton products and for the assump-
tion of the risks by those willing and
able to carry them. Also by dis-
seminating prices, it aids both buy-
ers and sellers. And there was pride
in his voice when he added that
since 1915, not one house dealing
exclusively in cotton, has failed with
loss to customers.
* * *
A number pf the members of the
exchange have come up from three-
do-llar-a-week office boys. Those
grouped about the ring, Mr. Murray
said, represented in all about 500
years of cotton experience. Up un-
til recently, the exchange was all-
male. The second World war has
caused girls to be employed as
pages and reporters. The exchange
hasn’t lost by the change, the offi-
cials agreed, the girls being quick
to learn, attentive and accurate.

The New York Cotton exchange
dates back 72 years. Previous to
visiting the trading floor, we had
luncheon at historic India House and
there was pouch talk of the past.
Present were President Alliott, ex-
President Murray, Secretary Tinney
Figgat, William Jung, four times
treasurer; Ben J. Conklin and Ar-
thur Pertsch, of the board of gover-
nors; Lieut. Col. Keith L. Morgan
and Arthur C. VonStein. To me, the
most interesting recollection con-
cerned the time when the exchange
was in India House and in the center
of the trading ring was a gold fish
pool. Now there are only crum-
pled papers.
