NEW ORLEANS, February 14-Prominent
members of the Cotton Exchange stated
last night that those in position to know
best express the opinion that the losses by
the six failures posted yesterday will not
exceed $40 900, the firms having large
amounts of margins on deposit.
The following additional failures were
posted at the Cotton Exchange to dav
Samuel H. Buck 81 Co. and Henry HentZ,
Of New York, and Henry Legendre's Son
and Henry N. Martin. They were all cot
ton future brokers and buyers, who trans
acted business through the future room of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
The rules Of the Cotton Exchange require
that margins be kept up from day to day,
and consequently the failure of any firm or
Individual can only entail loss on those deal

tent Of the fluctuations of the day. The
above mentioned firms had put up margins
covering everything up to noon, therefore
the only loss sustained are those resulting
from the decline since noon on "lorg" cot
tons.
1t is stated tonight that these losses will
not be heavy though the firms themselves
and their customers have, doubtless, lost
heavily by the decline in futures during
the past two weeks.
At a meeting of future brokers held at
the Cotton Exchange tonight those pres

tracts of Samuel H. Buck 81 Co. at to-day's

firm has done large business with the
South in grain, provisions, ETC., and has
bought pretty heavy lines of options in grain

unknown reason, many of these drafts were
returned protested, and they have found it
necessary to suspend. Mr.. Small says the
firms liabilities here are comparatively
light, and that If their customers will pay
the margins due, which amount to about
$40 0O0, the firm will be able to pay up in
the course Of couple OF months, and have
something over.
