PRICE STRUCK 1T RICH.
Made "A Fortune on the Recent Rise
in Cotton.
(Picayune-New Orleans.)

(Picayune-New Orleans)
New York, Dec. 5.-Thodore Price.
whose firm of Price Mccormick & Co..
failed for over $4,000, 900 about two
years ago. when Mr.. Price was trying
to corner the market for cotton, was
one Of the largest winners in the heavy
advance made in that staple Tuesday.
He is said to have been 'long" about
rs, 900 bales, on which he averaged A
gain of So a bale. Yesterday he took
profits on $4,000 bales, and to-day sold
part of his holdings, which he bought
below ~ cents pound, above cents.
About a week ago Mr. Price sent out
a circular in which he estimated the
seasons crop of cotton at 9,420,000
bales This was the minimum amount
mentioned, in the many different esti-
mates that were prepared to anticipate
the government report of Tuesday. 1t
was so low that not much credit was
given to it. However. Price and his
friends acted on their judgment.
Price is said to have formed a syndi-
cate of Wall street operators, which
bought about so, 900 bales on his re-
commentator. Their gains were large.
The government estimate was only
100000 bales higher than the one made
By Price.
When Price attempted to corner
the cotton market here in 1900 the
quotation was around 10 cents a pound.
1t has always been admitted this po-
sition then was the right one. In fact,
he was INDICATED six months after his
failure, when cotton rose. several cents
a pound for the spot article. He was
forced, however, to take 10000 bales of
very high grade material which he was
not PREPARED for. He had been taking
all of the cotton offered for several
days, when his credit became exhaust
ed, and a suspension was imperative.
An interesting fact in connection
with Prices present success is that the
Philadelphia firm of McFadden, which
forced thousands of bales of cotton on
him the day before his failure, was
one of the biggest losers on this week s
advance, they and their customers hav-
ing been on the short" side of the
market.

BANKER CLEW's VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen
from Wall Street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen
from Wall street.
New York. Dec. THE Wall street
situation is practically unchanged. On
the one side we see stocks powerfully
concentrated in few hands and an at
tempt made to raise values to a still
higher level by means of various deals.
by encouraging easy money and by
other articles best known to skillful
manipulators. Continued prosperity
and large railroad earnings have af-
forded strong basis for such a move
ment, and at the moment there are no
signs of pronounced weakness, except
the unsatisfactory developments in
Amalgamated Copper which have un-
doubtedly impeded the efforts for
renewed bull campaign. The large in
terests are PROFESSIONALLY committed
to the long side of the market; they
have stocks to sell which the public
are slow to buy unless they see more
certainty of profit than has been Of
fered. Simple prosperity, some think,
has been amply discounted, and reli-
ance is now often placed upon the eff
fects of deals which promise to in
crease the dividend capacities of GER
tain securities. AS a result the mar
ket is strong only in spots, and weak
spells are not infrequent. Had the
market been allowed to settle down
last summer to a lower level in nat
ural response to the unfavorable Incl
dents which then occurred, we should
have had a recovery and activity dur
ing the last two months which has
been notably absent. The public has
wisely kept aloof from extensive COM
mitments on the long side, combining
its activities to quick trading; and this
is likely to be the safe course for some
time to come. or until natural infu-
ences once more assert their sway.

that combine a sufficient lightness of
touch with genuine interest and power.
THE Middle West" by Prof. Frederick
j. Turner of the University of Wis

the main features in the development
of the vast area under discussion; the
incidents of settlement, the two cur
rents of emigration, northern and
southern, especially in their relation
to the Civil War, and, finally, the enor-
nous industrial expansion of compar-
atively recent years. The paper is one
of rare interest, and brings clearly be-
fore us the almost unlimited resources
and prospects of but a single depart
ment or province" in our marvellous
country, whose magnitude is already
