A Dead Sisters Estate Lifts Him from Squalid
Poverty to Enormous Wealth.

SHAMOKIN. Pa. Sept. 30.--John Brennan,
an inmate of the county poor-house, has
fallen heir to g, 000, 600. left him by his sis
ter, Mrs. John Carson, of California. He is
now on his way to the Golden State to take
possession of the property. which is prin-
cipally in government bonds. No one ever
needed the money worse. In 1884 he fell
off bridge one night and broke his leg.
and was compelled to become an inmate
of the poor-house. This afternoon a law
yer from San Francisco appeared in Sha-
mokin and asked for Brennan. He was
found at the almshouse, seated on a
bench by barn. whiting at piece Of
wood. Brennan thus told the story of his
life:
'.I was born in Dublin and came to this
country in 1S45- My two sisters, one five

careful examination of Brennan's story,
and fully satisfied himself that he had
found the heir to the Carson fortune. He

Steinstrand and His Methods.

Atlanta Constitution.
The September "cornering" of cotton in
Liverpool has attracted the attention of
the trade all over the world, and the Dutch
merchant Steinstrand usually called Street
stand in the press dispatches) has created
q sensation second to none since the enor-
nous deal of Morris Ranger, a few years
ago, which was followed by his failure an d
ruin.
A gentleman from Liverpool says that
merchant by trade. who, last spring, when
everybody was talking low prices on the
American crop, saw his opportunity and
went quietly to buying contracts for the
summer months in, Liverpool. His
persistent hold on the market main
caught many of those who had
been selling the market freely, pretty bad
ly short of cotton, and they settled at a
heavy loss. 1t is said that he has made a
million dollars during the summer. He
now has the market in September in Liver
pool entirely IN his own hands, and is fore
ing settlements at profit of from sc to SO
dollars bale on an enormous amount OF
cotton. His gains will be immense. The
spinners of Great Britain are trying to de-
feat him by stopping the mills, but the
misfortune with them is that they them
selves are under contract for yarns and
cloths Tor prompt delivery, and they dare
not stop their mills.
1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody good.
This fellows bulling the market has en-
abled the Southern planters TO
sell large, part of their
early. crop at full prices. Between the
Ist of August and the 1st of October the
Southern planters will have sold nearly a
million bales of the crop, and the artificial
| price In Liverpool for September and Oc-
| tober. created by this speculator. has been
worth all of $3.50 per bale to the market,
thus bringing to the South g. SOC, ,OCO more
than she otherwise would have received:
| 1t is said that Steinstrand holds largely of
| October contracts, and they are nervous in
| Liverpool for fear he will twist them on
! that month, but cotton is going forward
| freely from the American ports, and he will
| not lind it so easy to manipulate the mar
| ket for that month. However, when a man
with a pocket full of money, and embold-
project into his head, there is no telling
| what he will do.

Attempt to Corner the Market in England
Proves Disastrous to Many Operators.
LONDON, Sept. 30.-A large number OF
operators and others interested In the cot
ton market gathered in the Cotton Ex-
change at much earlier hour than usual
this morning, expecting the greatest crisis
of late years, owing to the corner in the
September options engineered by Stein
strand. The market for that option
opened quietly at decline of one point.
Prices Immediately dropped two points
more. and then steadled. The month went
out at 6.22-24d, thirty points under the high
holds from 7o,ooo 600 to % 10000 bales Of Ameri-
can cotton. the price of which, tomorrow.
will be 12d below the price obtained
on Saturday. 1t is the general opinion that
the cotton. ring IS utterly smashed, The
will lessen Mr.. Steinstrand's opportuni-
ties for disposing of his stock. 1t is the
general opinion that the cotton ring is ut
terly smashed. If the spinners close. their
mills for q fortnight the accumulation OF
cotton will further depreciate prices.
A dispatch from Liverpool this evening
says: The total amount rendered In settle
ment of contracts to deliver is AZ. 400 bales.
Mr.. Steinstrand does not conceal his sur
prise and disappointment at the failure OF
the corner. de says 1t was the large num-
Der of bulls that rode upon his back that
caused the collapse. He had not antici-
pated that SO many would buy cotton in
the hope that there would be rise in
prices that would enable them to sell at a
profit. The quantity of cotton held
by the bulls" until the last
movement was much larger than he ex-
pected. They must have lost heavily, he
said. but he was unable to give an idea of
their losses. He said he believed one re-
suit of the collapse would be the abolition
of short-time mills.
1t ls reported that the corner operators
will ship the bulk of their cotton to the
continent. The rumor, however, is not be-
lieved, as the stocks in Europe are already
heavy. The Liverpool market is rejoicing
that the loss will mos y fall upon cOnti-
mental bears" 1t is reported that one
large spinner in Alsace suffers TO the extent
of fl0O,000 on this account. But few fail
ures are expected here.

What Caused the Collapse.

MANCHESTER, Sept. S0.-The excitement
on the Cotton Exchange here was very
much less than at Liverpool, though the
market was very animated. No opinion
can be definitely formed as to the full sig
nifcance of the collapse of the cotton cor
ner until the situation is better known, but
confidence is expressed that it will be i'm
possible to make new corner for Octo-
Der. 1t is not expected. however. that cot
ton will become really cheap. The pros
pect of a fortnights stoppage of the mills
has diminished. 1t is reported that Mr..
Steinstrand's gain through the corner will
not exceed e50.OOO He expected to make
f25OOOO He has been buying since Decem-
Der, when he purchased at 5l2d. 1t is
evident that at the last moment he feared
concerted action by the brokers and spin
ners and tried to unload his stock.
