THAT CORNER IN COTTON.

Mr.. Frank s. Hayne, one of the chief
members of the syndicate that con-
Quoted the famous corner in co ton last
summer, and made millions of dollars,
wasn't pleased with the criticisms
which were showered on the syndicate,
and quite recently, in lengthy letter,
defended himself and his assoc; ates.
He doesn't pretend that he and those
who acted with him saw the situation
any clearer than many others; but the
others did not have the nerve to act on
their Judgment.
While Mr.. Hayne thinks that his
syndicate had something to do with
putting up the price of cotton, as a
matter of fact the real reason for its
advance was that the demand was much
greater than the supply. He says as
much himself. A cotton famine, he
says, faced the world, and the high
price was not the result of manipula
ton but the scarcity of cotton. He
thinks, therefore, that the charge that
the syndicate.caused the mills to close,
and that it brought great suffering to
tens of thousands of mill operatives,
has no foundation of fact. The truth
is, he says, the syndicate at no time
held more than enough to supply the
mills for more than eight days that is,
the syndicate never held as much as
800, OOs bales.
His contention is that the mills
themselves brought about their own
troubles, because they specialized in
cotton. Mills in this country and in
Europe sold their cotton with the ex-
pectation of buying it back at lower
price. They made a mistake. They
had to buy it from the syndicate and
pay higher price than that at which
they sold it From Liverpool alone
there were sent SO, 900 bales to the syn
dictate. If that cotton had gone to The
a Lancashire mills instead of being
! shipped to this country, those mills
t would not, ia all probability, have hat
to close, They might, however, have
had to run on short time.
If there had been no corner in cotton
Y Nails would have had to close because
! there was not enough cotton to las
I until the new crop came in. What til,
q syndicate did do was probably this: I
prevented as equable q distribution O
the supply as there would have been i
, cotton had have been left to take it
C course, but even that is not certain.
S It is probable that the members O
: the Syndicate are not worrying mucl
} about the criticism to which their bull
campaign subjected them. Most o
them have more money than they know
what to do with just at present, thougl

to watch the interests of the coun-
try it represents is frequently resort
ed to where the local authorities are
unable to give adequate protection.
Power to do so rests in the discre-

usually is made at the request of
the diplomatic representative of the
country whose interests appear to
be menaced. The sailors will be
withdrawn as soon as affairs resume
their normal state and quiet is re-

Hay nor Acting Secretary of the

THE MEXICAN RIOTS.
Eight Persons Were Killed In the
-a.--.,-.. ARRAY at Monterey ON
Thursd2y.

Monterey, Mexico, April .6.-Thurs-
days riots which, according to latest
reports, resulted in the death of
eight persons two policemen and six
civilians, and the injury of 20 others,
and which was due to political CAPT
tai being made out of the celebra-
ton of Gen. Reyes victory, have not
resulted in any further disturbances.
The cause of the riot is directly at
tributable to the cry of death to
Reyes" which was. raised by a
young man, said to be a student. No
sooner had the cry been raised than
a policeman who stood near drew his
revolver and instantly killed the man
thus precipitating the trouble. The
authorities have, by prompt action,
brought about quiet through the
city, and no further trouble is ex-
pected to grow out of the affair. A
full confidence is expressed in the
ability of Gen. Reyes to master the
situation.
