The following is summarized from a letter from the President of ihe Company:
The East Coast Fisheries Company is one of the largest fisheries produc
tion companies, engaged in producing with steam trawling vessels, a
staple food in continuous demand in the markets of the world. Upon
the early completion of firm contracts now placed, the company will
become the largest producer of this staple product in the United States
with the largest standardized fleet' of steam trawlers of the most mod
ern type. The Company's operations have been uniformly success
ful with earnings substantially in excess of dividend requirements. The
Company's profitably operating equipment is being enlarged with the
proceeds of this issue, by the addition of new steel steam trawling
vessels, under construction, and to be added to its operating fleet.
The Company is entirely free of bonded or other indebtedness. No
bonded indebtedness can be created without the consent of two-thirds
of the preferred stockholders.
The 7 dividend on this issue has been regularly paid.

Now York, Sept. 4. Fiirtlir-r exten
sive Ioipcs occurred in the cotton mar
ket today under continued cpnernl
liquidation. The break nmounted to
more than n full cent. October falling to
Cn.01. Severe losses in grain and the
feverish condition In securities were re
flected in increased pressure of western
and Wall street offerings, Vihile (.ellinj;
orders came from spot merchants in
the Southwest.
Demand failed to broaden and bears
uho had covered earlier appeared to be
reselling, while the demand from tmoV
sources was too light to make itself felt
materially.
Further weakness In foreign exchange
and predictions of n break in ocean
freight rates, in consequence of the lack
of inquiry for cargo hpace, received a
good deal ot attention.
An eastern bolt spot handler said
that there was little cotton being sold,
either for export or through eastern
spinners, but that there was n fnlr -.
quest for staple cotton, of which stocks
rc iigni.
The market closed barelv steady at
a net decline of 100 to 12a points.
