NEW YORK. March 4-COTTON-An
avalanche of selling orders swept over the
market today and amidst great excitement
prices broke with such violence that for a
time panicky conditions were feared. The
bull clique were steady and heavy buyers,
however, and Its support checked the ten
dency toward extreme demoralizations. The
market closed highly excited at from IL to
"a points below last nights closing. March
and May options opened at declines of 10
points, selling at 1917 and 9.99c respectively,
as against 10.17c and 10.l9c yesterday at the
close and the high record price of I0.26c
and 10.17c earlier yesterday. The bull leader
bought valiantly and rallied the market at
10.15c for March and i1G04c for May. He
took more than 5000 bales, but a flood Of
offerings in 1000 and 6,00Q-bale lots poured
in on him. All sorts of reports became
current and as the selling pressure in
creased prices made violent plunges down.
ward. 5 points at a time. The climax came
at the end of the noon hour, when an
avalanche of selling orders from all direc-
tions appeared. The May option made a
running break to 9.SSc, a level of p points
or more than a dollar a bale from last
nights closing, and the March option
dropped with even greater violence from
1O.17c to 9.96c. The July option fell from
9.S1c to 9.63c. As prices crumbled away
many stop-loss orders held by brokers on
customers %ccounts were reached and
their execution and the bear raid made the
low prices. 1t was estimated that the
bulls were compelled to take more than
100000 bales in support of the market and
total transactions up to the close were esti-
mated at nearly LOCO, 900 bales.

cattle here today and the market showed
very little change from yesterday. Packers
all seemed to be anxious for anything at all
desirable and the prices paid were fully as
good as those in force yesterday.
A liberal proportion of the offerings today
consisted of cornfed steers. The quality
was fairly good and a bunch of prime
heavy cattle sold at $500. The demand on
the part of local packers was liberal for
good cattle and the prices paid were fully
steady and in some cases sales were made
that looked a shade better. The common
to fair cattle did not show much of any
change from yesterday, but still every
thing sold without much trouble at very
satisfactory prices.
The cow market was active and steady
on all desirable grades. Strictly choice cat
tie in some cases were a little stronger,
but the Gamers and cutters were not in
any too good demand and were no more

HOGS-Receipts of hogs we're a little more
liberal today. and although reports from
other points were unfavorable to the SELL
Ing interests, the market here held right
close to steady. At the start there was an
active demand for good heavy hogs, and
they sold at just about steady prices, The
medium and lightweights did not change
hands quite as freely and could be quoted
steady to a shade over. All OF the early
arrivals were disposed of in good season,
but as several trains were late the market
was delayed to some extent. The prime
heavy hogs sold largely from $40 to SssO.
medium weights from $685. to 500, and the
lighter loads from $685. down. Representa-
