the cotton world is just waking up to the
fact known to the so-called manipulators
many months ago, namely that there il
hardly enough good spinning cotton to &C

he sold 500 bales of Egyptian cotton inn

ment extended to August. We are not
satisfied that the prospects for the coming
crop are such as to justify the prevailing
discounts between summer positions and
the October futures. From the expert
ence of the past there will be a greater
legitimate demand for cotton in October
than there is for cotton in August and
September. This will be the result of sim
pie business principles, as spinners will not
pay 10bc in August when they can get
cotton for 93zc in September and sac in
October Some time during the coming
three weeks there will be pandemonium on
the long side OF cotton We would not be
surprised at a smash of so, 75 or even 10o
points. man buying October on that
break will make a great deal of money

New York, May 15.-The New England

and as ley have taken considerable cotton
they have. been selling July and August
in considerable volume yesterday and to-
day in order to dispose of the cotton taken
on May contracts. and ,--.s selling was more
than the market could stand. causing d
considerable break in the summer options
including May, which declined this morn
ing from 1140 to 1929 There has been
considerable selling in the August option
by Southerners, who have low grade cot
ton to deliver The South also sold the
new crop on good weather in some sec
tions. The New Orleans bull crowd con
tInue very aggressive, but as spot cotton
is beginning to point towards New Orleans
on account Of July there being at twelve
cents, it is doubtful if they will be able tc
carry prices much higher before there is
a elimination and possibly smash. Mean
while the scarcity of cotton in America
would indicate that the new crop will be
N considerable demand in September and
October and prices at the South will prob
ably open for spot cotton at 10 cents this
fall. In the meantime December contracts
here are at $50. with October at $50 and
they are being bought as an investment
from the friends Of cotton. 1t was stated
today that Mr.. Price has gotten up a new
pool to operate on the bear side and we are
tole that he Is gong to sell the new crop.

Was the Cat Mad?
tKinston free Press.l

Mr.. d. l.. Hines, of near Seven Springs.
brought cat to Kinston yesterday thai
he had killed at his home because of the
belief that the cat was mad. The peculiar
actions of the cat in biting and snap
ping at people led to the belief. He had
bitten Mr.. Hines child and also a colored
boy on Mr.. Hines place and Mr.. Hines
brought the cat to Kinston to have the
doctors investigate to determine if it was
affected with rabies A live rabbit was

New York, May 15.-There was not so
much steam to the market today and
the public was made to realize that after
a week of unchecked advance there are
still two sides to the price question. AS
far as new developments are concerned
there are none save that Liverpool con-
tinues to discriminate against the winter
months and closed with decline Of 1
points on them against an advance of 3
TO on the old crop. Spot sales were
again large, $1,000 bales at 2 new high
record, 6.16 d. It's announced here that
the local bull clique has quit and now pre-
pose to finish their deal by disposing Of
the cotton accumulated on their May con-
tracts. This is given in explanation Of
their May receipts on July contracts 1t
will be remembered that the bull crowd
IN this market was composed mainly of
New England mill men and that the
squeeze has gone far beyond their wishes
as consumers of cotton. As a result their
spinning business is suffering severely ana
they have apparently determined to at
tempt to check further advance. For the
first time this season therefore there are
Two strong opposing forces in the field
and we may look for many and pro
nounced fluctuations. The New Orleans
contingent claim that their position is I'M
pregnable and that those who sell short
do so at great peril but we believe that
New Orleans will avoid this market as far
as possible and conine their operations
mainly to their own market and Liver
pool where they will find a sympathetic
field. Prices here close not far from the
bottom, July 20 down, August Is and new
crop to 8 lower it will be noticed that
he late months have been relatively
steady and there we're some indications of
selling July and August and transferring
longs into December and January. Liver
pool, however, viii largely control the
value of late months and brokers there
are inclined to be bearish on the new
crop.

Especial to News and observer)

New York. May 15.-It will be remem-
bcred that two weeks ago we gave two IN
terviews on the cotton situation, one by 4
cotton expert, and the other by man who
was looking at the market from the out
side These opinions we're decidedly at va
rance. The first regarded the fall months
as selling at an unjustifiable discount.
The second regarded manipulation III the
market as likely to end with a smash as
all corners and attempts at corners have
done before. 1t seems now that the class
represented by this second individual was
even larger than had been supposed Men
OF ordinarily sound judgment sold cotton
short when they heard that Mr.. Sully was
undertaking what they considered to be
the impossible. TO understand the market
of the week, we must refer to this large
class of conservative men in Wall Street
and IN the country in general, who sold cot
ton for an investment They have been
trying to cover their cotton all the week,
and the results have been recorded in our
daily letters. Now the question is is cot
ton a sale, purchase, or is it the best
thin- in the world to let alone? 1t is
the first, sometimes the second,
and sometimes the third. In our effort
to give the best possible reflex of market
opinion. we are at times led to express
the third opinion, Notwithstanding the fact
that it is against our best interests as a
commission house to do So But in the
present instance the market is divided IN
to two sets OF months. There are the sum
mer positions, which we would by all
means avoid. There is, on the other hand.
the position of the fall months. and we
cannot but repeat our opinion as to the
course of prices in the October
futures. Looking at the situation broadly,
