The Cotton Markets.

NIIW 1oltf> COIION MARK EFT
New York, May 23.-Great excitement
prevailed at the Cotton Exchange TO-
day. An enormous business was trans
acted. The market opened with a bull
ish flourish. and made an advance of
sac points on the first call. with active
buying in anticipation of an advance
from recent continued declines. II soon
became apparent however that the Ii
quidation of long accounts was not
over. Southern selling was very heavy.
and II turned the market. Private ad-
vices said that Southern planters were
generally eager to secure present nric &c
for their crop. and that they would re-
rain sellers so long as the present high
average of crop accounts was maintain
ed
Local parties who started in TO buy
for Il reaction soon lost courage and
sold out. and continued to sell for short
account. Advices from cotton goods
centres pointed To an unsatisfactory
demand at home and abroad. Pro-
nouned weakness in Liverpool and large
foreign selling orders figured MS prolni-
nent bear Influences also. Private ca =
bles indicated that the cotton trade of
Great Britain and the Continent was
not only bearishly influenced by crop
accounts from This side but on account
of the bearish character Of late inielli-
scnce regarding the outlook for the
Egyptian crop, reported 10 be Very

Nile overflow which has already passed

New York, May %. 1000.

August and July contracts on the New
York Cotton Exchange today have been in
state of semi-panic. declining, respect
lively. 81 and 80 points. This tremendous
and almost unparalleled decline has been
ttttiiettt- !! H
part of those people who were long of
August in anticipation o: an August COR
ner. 1t has not, perhaps, occurred to
tliem as they sold their August that a
corner. in order to be successful, must
be comparatively without what are
known as ''taierS," and the large amount
of this cotton which has been liquidatcd
technically strengthens the situation. The
statistical position continues to gain
daily in strength, and with or without an
August corner, August cotton I'm the
ncighborhood of Sia cents seems to us
cheap cotton. We would not advise our
friends TO attempt to follow manipulators,
but simply TO make up their minds when
cotton is cheap. and when il is cheap. AS
we think it is at the present price. to buy
it. calling it when thcy secure q reason.
able profit. 1t remains our confident con
viction that August cotton. on its mcr-
its. must sell at 9i4 cents, or higher. in
New York before the season closes and
at 5is in Liverpool before the maturity of
August September.

contract. She made $3.50 knots for two

tons more than she should have been,

THE MAN WHO is DISTRIBUTING
HIS WEALTH BEFORE HIS
DEATH

Yesterdays Baltimore Sun says:
Camden. Del. Dec. 3.-Venerable
Alexander jackson. of this place, who
is scattering his riches. as was told in
the Sun on last Saturday. is receiving
deluge of letters making requests and
demands of all sorts. which, If COM
piled with. would eat up n dozen for
tunes of the size OF Mr.. Jackson's.
But he is not responding to the let
tiers nor to the many strangers who
have visited him personally mploring
small part of his cash under various
preteXtS. L am done: the book is
closed said Mr.. Jackson solemnly to-
day. announcing that at present he
proposed to make no more gifts.
MIR. Jackson won't say how much
he has distributed during the last week,
but the folk about town declare that
he has gotten rid of at least $40. 900 in
real estate and money. The court re-
cords show that he has disposed of $780,
600 in property. The outstanding notes
which he has Cancelled for farmers and
business men in this neighborhood will
reach 1000. If he lives another year
Mr.. jackson says he may distribute
one half of the remaining fortune
THE morning mail brought about 400
letters from all parts of the country,
all Of which implored aid. The writers
were ali strangers Some told of des-
titution. some wanted money for
churches and others just coolly asked
for cash. Mr.. Jackson secured big
sack. in which the letters will be pre-
served.
I'm addition to the letters. Mr.. Jack
son has received a number of callers,
one of whom was q handsome and
fashionably dressed woman, who said
she was from Philadelphia. She told a
story OF distress and begged money.
Mr.. jackson Immediately dismissed her
without complying with her requests
She did not seem much of an object
for charity. said Mr.. jackson. Look
at her coat: then look at mine and Mr..
Jackson exposed the tattered sleeve OF
his coat which he wears in the office.
i dcspise the notoriety OF this dis
tribution' continued Mr.. Jackson, and

Mr. jackson positively refuses to
tell how much money he has given
away, saying ii is private affair.""
