Il CORNER IN COTTON.

suAEP PRACTICE IN wALL-sT.-Co0nIITTEEs or THE
EXCHANGE.
Operations on the Cotton Exchange have
been characterized by considerable excitement during
the past few days, owing to indications of corner
that have presented themselves. From what can be
learned would appear that the cotton market has been
largely oycrsOld by the bears" and now that con
tracts are nearing maturity, the efforts to secure the
cotton for their fufimeDt have been the cause Of
sharp advance. materially assisted by the skful ma
npuIation OF the market by shrcwd and eated bulls"
Within three days the price of cotton for June delivery
has advanced cent per pound, while
cotton for delivery in later months has advanced from
10 cents per pound An idea OF the amount Of bust
ness done may be derived from the official statement
that $4,000 bales sold yesterday for future delivery
en- on tie preceding day 1900 bales changed owners.
There were reports Of and heavy failures, but
willie some dealers wer0 undoubtedly crippled, they
have hus managed 10 comply with the requirements
OF the Exchange. The only failure thus far officially
announced Is that Of Messrs Crenshaw Co. of NO IA
Pearls renewal Of the excitement is looked for to-
day, and some failures are not unexpected
