to conform to the actual sales made on the;
floor, surprised his associates in the egg
corner by presenting another petition to-
have committee of five egg receivers ap-,
pointed to determine the daily quotations.
As soon as the egg men recovered from
their surprise at Mr.. Brockman's sudden.
turn a lively debate ensuet. The petitioni
was signed by majority of the ess- men,
however. and F. W. Brockman, c. j..
Dennis. William Colby, +. J. Roedar and
William Eneehans were appointed on the
committee. and will determine the daily
quotations, at least until another petition
is Dreseute!

Cotton met its Waterloo to-day and closed
largely below yesterdays closing figures. The
opening marked by free selling on a cable
from Liverpool stating that sensational de-
cline had taken place there. This was the signal
Tor unloading. and the longs threw their cotton
or the market regardless. with the result that
initial prices showed loss at New York Of 2J@p

Orleans was IN a demoralized condition and de-
cined sharply also stronger close and some
recovery at Liverpool caused a reaction on this
side, and the final figures showed net decline
