sULLY EXPLAINS HIS RISE.
Makes Millions cornering Cotton
After VIEWING Poor Fields.


Daniel J. Sully in September, 1907,
was a buyer for the New England
cotton mills at a salary of S70 a
week. In the following May he and
his associates cleared from s2,OOO,OOO
to $4,OO0,OOO as the result of cornering
the cotton market. He raised the
value of the years cotton crop $780,
100000 by his forcing of prices to a
higher level. From that time to his
failure he was q persistent bull, often
making millions by a single days
trading. His spectacular rise to the
position of cotton king of the world
was explained by him in a graphic
manner when he was at the height
Of power in May, 1908.
~ have been in the cotton business
as a broker, buying and selling cot
ton for the mills for the last nineteen
years." said Mr., Sully at that time
"I usually made two trips south each
year, going down in October and Feb
ruary. 1t was while | was on one OF
these trips, in February of 1889, that
the idea came to me which led me to
take the attitude | assumed in the
market during the recent movement in
cotton.
"I was riding along the Yazoo and
Mississippi railroad on my way to
Memphis. There had been a very
bad storm throughout the cotton belt
that winter, and 1t had been followed
by freezing weather. AS | passed
along the cotton plantations on the
railroad journey I saw great quaint.

fields exposed to this freezing wealth
Or. The thought instantly ran through
my mlnd-what effect will this cold
weather have on that seed? 1t was
just a passing thought at first, but
later | gave 1t pretty serious consider
alton.
"T knew that the outside layer Of
the seed must certainly be frozen and
that the life in the heart of the seed
could not but be affected by the
frozen layer. Long experience taught
me also that the farmers would not
take the trouble to pick out the frozen
seed, but that just as 1t lay on the
fields and in the pens they would

SOW 1t. This could not help but cause

SOW It, This could not help but cause
a deterioration in the crop.
"To such an extent has the demand
for cotton seed increased that while
four years ago the manufacturers of
cotton oil products paid $13 ton for
seed, they now pay s22 a ton. This
makes 1t an inducement for the farm
er to take the seed from the first
picking of his crop to the oil mill and
sell 1t instead Of replanting 1t.
"The first picking is always the
best, The lint Is the strongest and
the seed Is the most virile. Where
does this seed go? Not into the pens
Of the farmer for the next seasons
crop, but into the crushers of the cot
ton oil mills. In their shortslghted-
ness the cotton farmers are practically
selling the goose which lays for them
the, golden egg. The farmer will save
the second picking for seed, and
doesn't reflect that he Is sapping the
strength Of his cotton product In do
ing this. Before the day of the cot
ton oil mill there was no use for the
seed. The farmer would take the
best of it for replanting and would
put the rest on the ground for ferti.
lizing purposes. The cotton farmer
to-day doesn't do that. And, remenl
Der, this sort Of thing has been 60
Ing on for fifteen years.
"In line with this reasoning was the
probability that owing to surplus
production Of cotton in 1899 there
would be a reduced acreage the fol-
lowing year. And there was. In 1899
there were 25,OOO,OOO acres planted to
cotton in the south, and in the fol-
lowing year the acreage was 20,OO0,'
900, q reduction Of just one-ffth.
Nov you see what my conclusions
were. With a great reduction in acre
age and tremendous reduction in
producing power because of the frozen
seed and the consumption Of the vital
seed by the oil mills, 1t was easy to
reason that the next crop would be
light in its producing power and that
the year following the lintage would
be still lighter, and that during the
fourth year we might expect cotton

belief that higher prices would come,

My belief was steadfast, notwithstand.
Ing the opposition created when cot
ton sold at 10 cents pound, I know
there was tremendous sentimental
opposition formed against me, but
what did 1t amount 10 in the end?
people sold cotton which they did
not have. They sold wind, in other
words, or contracts Of wind. Luckily

then when the time to settle came
