New Orleans bought little cotton in
New York yesterday.
Price and his followers are reported to
have control of the market, and it is
said he is advising his friends to take
profits on long cotton.
Mum said '"rhe tendency Of late has
been to reduce crop estimates and it is
very certain that the bull side has been
very popular.
ITO me it looks as if they had run most
all the short interest in. and now they
have nice little one in to take care of.
"Mr. Price will no doubt be on the
short side and kindly tell his friends
and the public that it should react some.
Watch It and see.''
