a FIGHT OF COTTON BEARS,

The action of the New York Gotten
Exchange in rejecting the application
of Mr.. L. j. Major for share of stock
and a seat in that institution is thus
explained in recent issue of the
New York Times:
"The reason for Mr.. Majors failure
to secure admission to the Cotton Ex-
change is popularly supposed to have
been that he is large speculator with
bull proclivitles, genius which is
not IN high favor among the cotton
brokers in this city just now. Mr..
Major is one of the members of the
social New Orleans bull clique and
has always been known as one of the
biggest men in his line. He is known
to have carried 800, 900 bales of futures
and $4,000 bales of spot cot on at the
same time without any pool assis.
tance
Evidently, only "bears" must control
the cotton market, from the standpoint
of the Exchange; one sided situation
which should not be tolerated by cot
ton men of the South.
Commenting upon the Major affair,
the New Orleans State says.
eff this statement be true, it is, in
effect, notice served upon cotton deal
ers that only 'bearo' are wanted In the
membership of the New York Cotton
Exchange. The recent utter rout OF
the bear element by prominent
bull operators in New Orleans, OF
which Mr.. Major was conspicuous
member, has evidently enraged the
arrogant element in New York who
hope to thrive by keeping the South
poor, and they seem determined that
those who were responsible fol
thwarting their efforts to prey upor
the cotton section shall thus be duly
punished.
''But the vengeful deed has utterly
failed of its purpose The course OF
events during the past year has dem
onstrated the superiority of New Or.
leans over New York as an arblter OF
cotton prices, and Mr.. Major can fine
an ample field here for his operations
in the future.
"The successful fight made by New
Orleans for supremacy in the cotton
markets of the world has only jus
begun, in so far as this city is concern
ed, and if, IN face of the logical anc
substantial advantage which New Or
leans now holds over New York, tx
"bears" of that market wish to MAKE
the issue they are welcome to all they
can get out it. Mr.. Major has not beer
injured by the incident, but the New
York Exchange will have considerable
explaining to do IN the attempt to jus
tify this open notice to the world thai
in the future nobody except bears vii
be welcomed to mem bership therein.

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.

therefore that the only prevention of
badness is the destruction of the germ
