CAUSED PANIC IN COTTON.
One of the Immediate Results of the
Big Failure


NEW YORK, May A-The widest ex-
citement prevailed at the cotton ex-
change today, with phenomenal activity
and unprecedented liquidation of long
cotton, supplemented by heavy sales for
short account, the latter in good part
on orders from the South.
The market opened steady, with July
contracts one point higher, and the rest
of the list from unchanged to nine points
lower. The selling movement was not
so marked on the opening call, and some
of the lccal traders prepared a little up
ward movement, but they soon saw their
mistake, when an avalanche of long cot
ton came on the market, and carried
the smaller traders off their feet. 1t
was evident that some house or houses
had reached the distress point, but it
was not until 1884 p. m. that the prime
factor of weakness was definitely known.
although pretty generally suspected At
that hour the failure of price, McCor-
mick & CO.. was announced
This suspension was not wholly unex-
pected, nevertheless it threw the mar
ket into panic. and for a time pande-
monium prevailed on the exchange. Au-
gust contracts, which this concern orig
inally undertook to advance to 10 cents.
and did advance to $50, sold off to SS5,
this being decline of 25 points from the
top of the bull movement, and a decline

rs points. or more than %e for the day.
Rumors of other failures were rife
but later it was announced that no more
failures were looked for.
1t was thought on change that while
the failure of Price, Mccormick &, Co.
had crippled some New York parties. the
public, who had INDUCED on the score of
margins, had no fear of further appre-
hension.
The greatest decline of the day was
10q78 points. The market closed irregu-
lar at a net decline Of Hos points, hav-
ing failed to recover from the extreme
depression of the day. In addition to
the heavy loss on May, July went off
46 points.
The fact that the English market was
closed, on account of the queens birth
day, added to the activity of the local
market, the enormous selling orders to
protect accounts having been sent over
from Liverpool and elsewhere in Great
Britain Continental selling orders were
also factor.
While there is no official record of
the sales of cotton futures today, and
there are no means of knowing the ex-
act extent of the transactions, it is
known that the volume of business
reached something like 100000 bales. if

ANOTHER PETTIGREW LIE Elk.
PLODED.

Senator Pettigrew's spectacular state
ment that Charles H. Cramp, head OF
the great shipbuilding firm, had con-
tributed $400,0 900 to the Republican
campaign fund In 1892 failed to make
much OF a sensation, mainly because
few believed Ii, despite the fact that
Pettigrew quoted Cramp himself as au-
thority. w. e. Curtis, the Washington
correspondent, asked Mr.. Cramp about
the matter, while in Philadelphia re-
Gently. Mr.. Cramp said he had not de-
MED the statement because he consid-
cred it too absurd for serious attention.
When asked directly whether he had
made such a contribution or told Pet
tigrew he had made 1t he entered an
emphatic denial Of both propositions.
Mr.. Curtis, upon further investigation,
found that the aggregate contributions
OF the city of Philadelphia in 1896 foot
ed up to S400, 900, and he gives Mr.. Pet
tigrew credit for having heard this
stated but got "his wires crossed" in
trying to reproduce it. Mr.. Curtis says
that, SO far as he had been able to as
certain, Mr.. Cramps personal contri-
button was s10,0 600, a much more rea-
sonable amount. The most significant
feature brought out by Mr.. Curtis in
vestigation is the fact that Senator
Pettigrew's standing down east is such
that no matter In what way he may dis
tort facts the men misrepresented do
not consider his assertions OF enough

SENATOR WoLCOTT ON THE IS
SIZES.

Senator WolcoAt's speech as temper
airy chairman of the Philadelphia co1-
vention was one Of the most luminous
expositions of the issues OF the hour
and statements of Republican doctrine
that has vet been made. The following
is a clear-cut summary of the import
ance of the pending election as its re-
suits may affect our monetary credlt
and our national honor. He said;
Never since 1864 when the voters OF
the country were called upon TO deter
mine whether the efforts of Abraham
Lincoln to preserve the union should be
continued, or whether they should be
abandoned and other measures at
tempted, have questions so vital been
presented to the American people for
settlement. Their decision must deter
mine the maintenance or the degrade
ton of both our national credit and our
national honor. A Democratic presi-
dent could paralyZe the operation o.
the new currency law as effectively as
IL IL were wiped from our statute
books. A Democratic victory would in
fuse new life into the Tagal insurrec-
ton, cost us the lives OF thousands OF
our gallant army IN the Philippines,
impair or destroy our prestige, IL not
our power in the islands, make us a
byword among the other great nations
of the world, and obliterate u in
fiuence in the settlement OF the vital
questions certain to arise when China
shall be open to foreign commerce"
The danger to the country from the
triumph of the Bryan party is quite as
great as 1t was in 1896 in relation to
the monetary issue, and the new danger
Is added of a reversal Of the policy
which the responsibilities growing out
of the results of the Spanish war have
forced upon us. A few prominent Dem
ocrats who worked and voted against
Bryan in 1896 have ~endeavored to salve
their consciences and make an excuse
for voting for him this year, on the
ground that the monetary question is
settled by the recent legislation OF con-
gress. But a little reflection will con-
vince them of the truth Of Senator
Wolcott's statement that "a Democrat
ic president could paralyze the oper-
alton of the new currency law as effect
lively as il 1t were wiped off the statute
books" OF course, a Democratic pres
ident of the Grover Cleveland stamp
would not do so; but William j. Bryan,
as president, could and would. In fact,
he is distinctly pledged to do so.

The Rochester Democrat remarks:
Well, there was a blissful time when
this country was not paying wal taxes.
1t was In 1893 and 1894 .
When business men were failing.
When banks were ~suspending.
When manufacturers were closing
their shops.
When the wheels of machinery were
silent.
When factory chimneys were smoke

When wage n were out OF Jobs.
When idle men walked the streets in
despair.

ragged and hungry.
When thousands of families accus-
toned to prosperity and too proud to
beg suffered in silence.
When the cry for bread was a In

When free soup houses kept many
people from starvation.
When many enterprises were at a
standstill.
When the grim specter of want was
a familiar sight.
This was when the party Of tariff
reform and reduced taxation, was
getting in it's deadly work. 1t was
harder for working people to buy a loaf
of bread then than it is to buy a roast
of beef now. 1t took longer to earn a
pair of shoes then than 1t does to earn
a suit of clothes now. In short, all the
people are more prosperous and COM
Portable in this time Of war taxes"
than they were in that time of depres-
sion and idleness. Everybody knows
that this is so, and yet the party Of ca
lamity is emitting hypocritical groqns
and insincere fiapdoodle in an effort to
create discomfort and advance its polit-
ical fortunes. We don't think 1t will
fool many people. because memory is
not a lost human faculty, and exper-
fence is a faithful teacher.
