COTTON EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK, December 1S.-Almost
unprecedented excitement prevailed ON
the Cotton Exchange to-day. Seldom,
If ever, in the history of the institl-
ton has the volume of business been so
great as that transacted to-day. No
official record of the sales were made
but it is estimated that the amount OF
cotton traded in came near reaching
the million bale mark, the heaviest
previous total having been something
like SOC, 900. There was a perfect ava
lanche of selling orders, until the exec
utive capacity of commission houses
and brokers was tested as never before.
The opening was easy at a decline OF
4 to 6 points. From the closing fig
ures of Saturday the market, as shown
by the weakest interval, broke 80 to
SO points, at which time a condition
bordering on panic prevailed. The de-
cline was attended by the greatest ir-
regularity with frequent and violent re-
actions, the price at times moving by
swings of five points. 1t was pande-
monium let loose. The original cause
of the collapse was the heavy selling
movement started by Wall street inter-
ests. Sensational reports represented

Stocks-The stock market yielded 10
panic to-day under the severe string
ency of money and the distrust en-
gendered concerning all classes of Sc
curities or the exchange. The indus
trials were the severest sufferers and
were the real centers of the disturbance
but the effort to protect holdings in
them precipitated a violent liquidation
In other classes of securities The IN
tervening Sunday afforded some mo-
mentary check to Saturdays liquida-
ton as was expected. SO that the OPEN
Ing declines in sympathy with London
were In large part recovered and the
market seemed comparatively quiet
and without sensation.
The announcement Of the failure of
d trust company and of a firm of brok-
ers prominent on the exchange caused
renewed weakness and there were calls
for additional margins by commission
houss. A decision by the clearing
house banks to renew old loans at 6
per cent and to avoid az far as posi-
BILE excessive rates for new loans quiet
ed the market and caused some recov-
cry. In the afternoon severe string
ency developed again in the money
market, rates for call loans bounding
up rapidly to 125 per cent, which was
the maximum officially recorded. Un-
Official reports were made of loans at
1856 per cent. The market quickly took
on panic conditions and stocks were
thrown oven, entirely without regard
to prices. Metropolitan and Tobacco
led with losses of over twenty points
and a large number of industrials fol-
lowed with 5 to Is point breaks. In
at the extreme low level ranged from
5 to 8 points, including the grangers,
trunk lines, internationals, southerns
and trans-Continentals. In the last
half hour by concerted agreement Of
the clearing house banks, SO, 900, 900
was offered on the exchange which
broke the rate for money to 6 per cent
and caused violent recoveries of from
/ to 10 points in the prices Of stocks.
All outside influences were swallowed
up in the acuteness Of the local situa-
ton.
Semi-Speculative bonds were of from
2 to 8 points. Dealings were not on an
extraordinary scale. Total sales par
value $3.50. 900.

METAL.

NEW YORK, December 1S.-The
market for metals was quiet all day
with some departments showing fair
steadiness. Others have continued
weak and irregular with prices lower
under large offerings, weak cables and
a refusal of buyers to go on. The re-
port that a tin firm in London had fail
ed served to disquiet the local trade. At
the close the Metal Exchange called
pig iron warrants dweak for futures;
lake copper dull and easy at $16 500

but easy and neglected for futures at
$24 90@25 90; lead steady at 81 ESQ

tho Cotton Exchange to the effect that
the rate Of money was advancing rapid
II. The more stalwart bulls made nu-
merous efforts to turn the market but
a renewed pressure Of long cotton
would make its appearance on every re-
action. The principal upward swing
was In the early afternoon, when the
markets moved up IL points only TO
topple over again. The general weak
ness was increased by the situation in
South Africa leading to fears that po-
litical troubles abroad were likely to
involve other powers. The South was
an enormous seller here. The Eng
lish cotton market declined 40h points
and closed at the lowest figures. The
final phrases of the market were a lit
tie better on covering and some buy
ing for a reaction tomorrow. The
close was steady at a net decline OF
23@26 points on the present crop and
9610 on the new crop.

FINANCE IND TRADE

NEW YORK, December 1S.-The
Commercial Advertisers London finan-
cial cablegram:
The markets here opened frmer to-
day on the governments vigorous
measures against the Beers but heavy
general liquidation weighed down the
markets all day, the close being very
dismal.
The exchange swallowed all lies
offered freely. To-day's inventions in
cluded the story that tie Queen was
Ill and that it had been decided to
issue Immediately 950,0OO 900 new
consols and G100, 000, 900 three per
ZEN loans as soon as Parliament
meets. 1t was reported on better au-
thority that the government will issue
tomorrow $4,000, 900 treasury bills,
being the balance Of the war vote.
Consols broke on these rumor on
heavy bear sales below par.
Americans began harder but later
broke alphabetically. New York
failed to send support and the close
was at the lowest. There was a slight
rally in the street, but DON rlapsed
again to the worst. The weakest feat
ures were Louisville & Nashville,
Union Pacific, Baltimore G Ohio, and
Atchison preferred.
The Paris market was fiat; Spanish

small discount business at 6 per cent.
Another small failure was announced.
Copper statistics for the fortnight
show stocks down 1.O17, supplies down

LONDON, December 1S.-The mar
ket closed with genral gloom and a
semi-panic. Realization of the cost of
the war in men and money again
brought the monetary position into
prominence. 1t was seen that TIE funds
required must necessarily be much
larger than originally estimated, hence
a rush to unload. Under the lead Of
c~onsols, after the close. street prices
were in many cases still lower.
