IN A RECORD-B BREAKING SPASM
New York Cotton Exchange as
Chaotic as the Hurricane Belt.

! New York. Sept 10.-The intensity Of
excitement and activity of speculation on
| the cotton exchange today were with
out parallel. Fluctuations far exceeded
anything hitherto recorded, the extremes
being one hundred points, with relapses
frequent and violent. The market open
ed irregular and excited, with prices 43 to
81 points higher on an Irresistible rush
of buying, in which every branch Of the
trade took part. Sellers were few and

close tonight. Following the call the
market seesawed at a breath-taking rate
with the movement in the main gener-
ally swinging toward higher prices As
the morning proceeded speculation broad
ened until the market was beyond the
control of the bulls even. Sensational
setbacks followed never-trying bulges,
which kept operators, of no matter what
belief, jumping to keep pace. The En-
glish market showed corresponding gyra-
tons, and private cables denoted COM
plete chaos in Liverpool. The bulls how
ever, were being carried along by the
advance. On the local exchange, Sep

Saturdays final figures The foundation
of bun ideas and the chief caus- of the
terrific bull speculation was the news
that the best section of the crop had
been swept by a tropical storm, the equal
of which was not known. Reports from
central Texas were vague ard totally IN
satisfactory which fact tended to in
crease the fears of shorts and the big
crop theorists in general. Liverpool was
similarly Influenced as we'll as the New
Orleans market Estimates pointing to
a loss of 10000 to 100000 bales and the

caught short by the opening rise. The
announcement Of their suspension did
not seriously disturb the market, as they
were known to have unimportant obliga-
tons outstanding. The bull fever reach
