Sully left the field after selling
out, and went over to take a fling
at the Liverpool market, which
he drove to the edge of pani C.
The Brown campaign eliminated
late In September. Then came a
lull, until the gloomy Government
report was flung like an explos-

Sully's estimate was within TWEEN

When the report from Wash.

Exchange, the trading smashed
all records of unique year.
Values of more than million
and half bales of real" and flu
ture" cotton were tossed to and
fro by a mob of roaring. jostling
maniacs.
One of the most significant fea-
lures of the strained situation is
the great drop in the shipments
of cotton goods to China, which
has been a rapidly increasing
outlet for American production.

There is nothing more necessary to health
than sleep and rest. If these are denied you,
if you rise in the morning more tired than

the nerves plainly present. If your heart is
weak, or there is an inherited tendency in
that direction, your weakened nerves will
soon so affect your hearts action as to bring

The Bull Campaign i'm Cotton.

ht Duil 'dui ipblGu Ill OOibOH.
Golfers Weekly,
The cotton crop is still subject
to guess work in the final count
ing. The Government estima te,
made public in December, is the
lever under thirteen cent cotton.
In past years the Government
estimate has averaged about
per cent. short of the actual crop.
And 8 per cent, added to the
forecast of 100000 bales, would
go far toward easing the present
crisis. This is what the manu-
facturer and the "bear" specula-
tors are still hoping for in the
last ditch, but they dare not hope
for much cheaper cotton in 1904.
even if there ls a break in this
crops prices.
In reaIity, there were three
speculative campaigns, separately
conducted, in 1908. The first was
led by Theodore II. Price, form.
erIy member of a firm which
failed for $15,000,000 several
years ago III an attempt to corner
the cotton crop. Undaunted he
got on his feet, and last winter
again took the centre Of the stage.
His war cry was that prices were
too low to harmonise with the de-
mands. He bought options right
and left, until the Price crowd
had doomed the price to 81 cents.
Then the speculative world said
cotton was too dear, and predict
ed another collapse for Price. He
agreed with them that the limit
had been reached, and began to
sell as turlously as he had bought.
The effectI was violent. Cotton
dropped two and three dollars a
bale, and it was believed this was
only the beginning of the slump.
sULLY COMES ON THE SCENE.
But while Price was getting z
out from under" an inconspicu.
Gus young man from Providence
was quietly buying cotton. The
eight and a half cent price had
no terrors for him. Old brokers
of the New York Cotton Exchange
began to ask, "Who is this Sam j
SullyW Nineteen years service
in u Providence cotton house mad
given him a thorough knowledge
of the business from plantation
to mill. For two years he had
been working out a theory that
cotton must advance. In bust
ness journeys through the
South, Sully had seen tho cotton
oil mills enrich the grower, until
this by-product of the crop was
distributing . hundred million
dollars yearly.
Lancaster enterprise. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1891-1905, 1904-02-03

But the prime seed of the first
picking was going to the oil mills,
and an inferior quality going into
the ground for the seed of the
next years crop. Sully deduced
the theory that poor seed meant
less cotton per acre. In 1902, for
example, the cotton acreage in
creased by three million acres,
with another million acres plant.
ed last year, yet the production
fell off. After Price retreated
he bought while brokers fell over
each other to sell him cotton they
did not have. Presently cotton
was nine cents, and the Provi
dence broker came into the open,
as one Of the largest buyers ever
known. He was fought by the
other speculative interests com
bined, but he put cotton up TO
ten cents and begged manufac-
turs t. buy before they had to
pay more.
The exchanges recalled the col
lapses engineered by John Inman
and Peter Labouisse, and said
there could never be a successful
corner in cotton. Sully had all
the backing he wanted among his
New England friends. In May
he had the market by the throat.
When he had forced the price to
eleven cents. and added a hun
dred and thirty millions to the
value of the crop, he was satisfied
for a time, and he began to sell.
In a month he was a millionaire.
BROWN BEGINS WHERE sULLY LEFT
OFF.
Meanwhile appeared a new
group of spectators, led by w. P
Brown, New Orleans cotton
merchant. Brown invaded New
York with the prestige of having
cleaned up two millions in a
squeeze" in New Orleans four
years ago. When he appeared
in the New York Cotton Ex
change, and hinted that he had
come to take the control where
Sully had dropped it, the brokers
were frenzled by his crushing
tactics
He took eleven cent cotton,
and by bolder assaults drove it
skyward, until he had contracted
for two hundred thousand bales
of the July delivery. Then Wall
Street wanted to know how he
was going to pay for it. When
settling time came Brown was
ready with the ten million cash
needed, much Of it French cap
ital, according to current report.
He had his grip on the New York
and New Orleans markets so
tight that the climax came when
he walked into the pit and bid
the record breaking price Of
thirteen cents for a thousand
bales of August cotton, and not a
bale was offered because he had
it all. He had bought four times
