COTTON IS EXCITED
GREAT FLUcTUATloNs IN MARK
EFT EVERYWHERE.
THE HIGHEST SINCE 1901
Prices Soar at Commencement of Bus
mess, Going up by Leaps and
Bounds-Record Has Been Exceed
ed only once Since 1s9o-LiVer-
pool Affected.

New York, May 12.-There was
wild market in cotton yesterday with
prices covering a range of a dollar a
bale in this market from Saturdays
closing and $3.50 TO 81 per bale in
New Orleans. Prices scared at the
commencement of business, going up
by leaps and bounds on trading 20 TO
% points here and 30 TO 40 points at
New Orleans. Liverpool markets
were almost equally excited. There
spot cotton advanced 10 points or an
equivalent TO 81 a bale in our fluctu=
atoms. Spot cotton here is held at
about Ills cents per pound and 10$I
cents at New Orleans, against ga
cents last year.
This has not been anything like the
equivalent of these high prices since
the last week in January, 1901, when
spot cotton in this market was forced
up TO II cents a pound. That was the
highest record for cotton since 1890,
when it sold in January in the market
at 12% per cent. and about pence
pound at Liverpool, after prolonged
session of bull speculation.
Almost every broker was loaded
with buying orders when the market
opened and there was a great roar
when trade began. May sold as high
as 11.20 in the afternoon. July, which
was 1929, started at a 1910 bid and
was bid TO 1850. Then the sales
transactions were on an enormous
scale, ranging from that price down to
1O.45, to 1O.4S; then there was a break
to 1O41. The August option which
closed at 9.97 started at 1920 and
1921 and was heavily traded in as
July, while the September option of
next years crop which has only just
been planted and which closed at
9.2S, opened II points higher, at 0.42,
and sold up to ga and then broke 10
points and afterwards rallied to $40
AT New Orleans July the open,
which Saturday advanced % points
and closed at 11.45, started at 11.So
and then sold at lilo and 11.75, while
August, which closed at 1869, starter
at 1921.

ct may be that no legislation can
be secured at this session providing
for a general appropriation bill in tue
future, but il is sun possible TO hold
the expenditures for the next two
years within reasonable and proper
limits. II cannot be done, however
without the most rigid examination OF
all bills which impose a tax upon the
public treasury from this time until
the close Of the session. There SHOULD
be no injustice done in any case.
There should be no undue haste. which
