MUCH MONEY IN COTTON
Danie Suy Said to Have Made S6OOooo in Six Weeks and
Is Still Boil IN the Market-Theodore Price His
Great Rival

In the great cotton markets of Liv-
erpool, Hayre and Bremen. just as in
the great cotton markets Of America
to-day. every play made by d. j. Sully
or every play reported to be made by
him is Of the most absorbing interest
to spinnerz, factors and speculators.
Suddenly, so suddenly as to surprise
the old-timers. this remarkable young
man has sprung into International
prominence. A few weeks ago he was
practically unknown. To-day every
body knows him He is but an illus
tration Of the old adage that man is
developed for every contingency.
There was a condition in the cotton
market that afforded opportunities for
a master hand in the marshaling of
forces Out Of the ranks Of nobodies
came Sully, and suddenly he became
somebody. To-day he is the general
of the bull campaign in cotton and he
is making history. 1t is said he has
made 100000 in the last six weeks.
This may be an oyerestimate or an
underestimate. His profits may be
garnered or largely paper" That he
has made an immense sum there is no
doubt That he stands to win a still
greater sum is certain.
Sudden prominence hasn't affected
Sully in the slightest degree. He is a
newcomer to New York, although he
has been a member OF the New York
Cotton Exchange two years. Down in
Providence, r. l.. where he comes
from. they are extremely proud Of him.
1t is one of the strange features Of
the present situation in the cotton
market that Sully took up the bull
campaign after Theodore H. Price had
given It up. Price has been one Of the
most spectacular figures in the cotton
world In the season OF 1S99-1S00
when he was at the head Of the firm
Of Price, Mccormick & Co.. he planned

It may be recalled that during the
first part Of her illness Miss Dressler's
mother died, and it was necessary to
keep the news from the comedienne
until she was convalescent. Her
nurse tells a somewhat remarkable
story of the way Miss Dressler finally
learned the truth
After the fever had broken and Miss
Dressler began to pick up. the doctors,
still fearing the result. postponed the
news from day to day Finally one
night about five weeks after her
mothers death, Miss Dressler awoke
with a shrek and sat up in bed.

The recent advance in cotton has
been remarkable. Within two months
there has been an advance of nearly 2

Of s11 100000 bales-and within about

There was a time. and it's only a few
years ago, when cotton was drug on
the market. But to-day the South has
such prosperity as Dixieland never
dreamed OF and such as the widest op
timist never predicted. Four crops in
succession have been marketed at
big prices. It seems as if the South
cannot produce as much cotton as the
world needs. II seems as il Sully's
ideas that the uses Of cotton have
broadened beyond the realization OF
the public are correct
It is natural the South, sentimental
ly and otherwise, is with Sully in bull
ing cotton. But then, the South al
ways is bullish on cotton. There used
to be a time when the man who bulled
cotton was certain to meet disaster.
