New Orleans. July TIN small
sized panic in the cotton market Sep
tember options fell 70 points, from
l1.79 TO 1109 The selling in September
was tremendous. New York had an
immense quantity Of selling orders in
local brokers hands, and the first de-
clines scared weak longs into unloading
as quickly as possible. The consequence
was that prices went down and 10
points at time. The bull clique was
also credited with unloading, and II
was current gossip that local longs
were unloading In Liverpool. There
was nothing doing in August.

Hanna, son Of the senator and a

Senator Hanna has within the past
few years, relieved himself Of the
burden Of personal attention to business
details. but aside from this there is no
foundation for the statement. The
firm Of NJ. A. Hanna & Co has not
been affected ID the slightest on the
