SELLING IS FAD

Sentiment Even Becomes Fever

NERVOUS FEELING RESULTS

Place and Every One Tried to
Buy, Causing Ad-
vances.
NERVOUS FEELING RESULTS

New Orleans, February 1.-THE expect
ed happened in the cotton market today.
The recently created heavy short interest
was put on the jump by rumors that
spot sales for the day amounted to 1900
bales. Before the weaker and more
scared shorts had finished covering,
prices were sent up and above the highest
levels of the day from the bottom of a
wide decline At the close prices Of
March, May and July were 60 to Ga points
higher than the close of Monday.
The market opened with traders impas-
sive to several strong bullish features. A
good spot demand was reported and both
the Liverpool and New York markets Of
fered good reports to base an advance on.
The general disposition was to sell. 1t
was the fad of the market just as 1t was
the fad a short time ago to buy
Amounted to Fever.
About non il almost amounted to a
fever, and the moderately wide advances
of the early hour were entirely lost sight
of while wide declines were established
amounting to from Sc to 81 points under
the highest prices Immediately following
the opening At this point the selling
pressure on the market was great and
some nervousness was the result. 1t took
only the most vague rumor to start the
fireworks.
Where the report came from no one
knew, but some scared shorts commenced
to buy hastily and to spread the rumor
among their friends that the spot sales
for the day would amount to 1900 bales.
In a moment the ring was in frenzy OF
excitement and prices went up on the
bound. The first jump between sales was
II points, and brokers wire house men
especially bid the market up point by
point a good quarter of a cent without
getting any cotton.
All Wanted to Buy.
A few minutes before every one wanted
to sell but with the scare on every one
wanted to buy. There were no sellers and
the bulls stood by and without lifting
their voices saw the shorts pile up SEN
sational advances on themselves The
bulls took the advance as calmly as they
took the decline earlier in the day. 1t
is evident that they are playing wait
ing game and the general impression IS
that they are waiting for an imense short
interest to accumulate in the market so
that the same kind of a performance that
the shorts gave today may be given at
the bidding of the bulls and under their
direction.
The close of the market was steady.
Curb prices were even higher than clos
ing levels 1t was clear that only the
weaker shorts had covered during the af-
ternoon as offerings at the best were only
moderate and the volume of trade was
not heavy. that is compared with the
trading that has been called heavy re-

1t is understood that the privileges

that the real purpose of these orders.
which was to allow these volunteer SOL

sessions to send presents to the members
of their immediate families at Christmas

DEPARTMENTS ARE ROTTEN

Washington, February 1.-(Special.)-A
platform based upon the reassertion of
the declaration of independence, the resto-
ration of the constitution, the curtailment
of executive usurpation of governmental
functions, a tearing down of the tariff
wall, an insistence upon rigid honesty in
public office and the limitation of taxa
tion to the actual needs of the govern
ment, is the platform on which former
Senator Charles A. Towne declares the
democratic party can triumph in the cleo
ton this year.
Mr.. Towne said that he had been told
that the war department, and the pen
sion office were ~ottener by far than the
postoffice and the land office.
Big Area of Decay.
you and | know, said he, that when
the corruption is indicated in two or three
spots by an outraged and angry public
sentiment there is almost certain to be a
widely extended area of decay and wrong
doing to be disclosed when the lid comes
off altogether 1t will be in the interest
of public economy, public morals and Of
the permanency of republican institutions
to pry the lid off and place the democracy
In power this year.
II have no desire here or at this time"
said Mr.. Towne before the democratic
club last night, Ito speak in abuse of any
man. These are solemn and serious days.
We are approaching a critical period
1t is not a time for throwing epithets.
But I doubt If man desired to use ep-
ithets whether he could find enough to
fit the emergency that would confront him
were he to try to do justice to the per-
sonality which now occupies the exalted
office of the Presidency.
No One More capricious.
Never was there a spirit more capri
cious, a mind more undellberate, so salts
fed with the wisdom of its momentary
Impulses, so unpredictable in its lines Of
activity. There is no citizen. republican

there passed away a big-hearted genial,

tithesis of Roosevelt.
Will Precipitate Deserters.
Now that he has gone, ask my re-
publican friends on what they rely to
save them from the President to whose
candidacy they are hope1essly committed.
1t is my sober prediction that if Theodore
Roosevelt gets another lease of power.
not as an accidental successor but as a
| result of the deliberately expressed pref
erence of his fellow citizens, he will
translate it into authority to indulge in
impulses which will bring us into disas-
