Look for Improvement In Prices,
Despite the Failure.

Look for Improvement in Prices,
Despite the Failure.
New York, March 19.-Nothing that
has ever happened in the cotton mar
ket was ever more of a surprise
than the failure of yesterday 1t
was bolt out of a clear sky, as far as
the local exchange was concerned, and
we very much doubt whether there is
any satisfactory explanation of the
failure. A break of a cent and half
should not result in failure, when the
former decline of five cents did not
cause a single suspension.
1t must be that the hrm has over
extended its operations and lost money
in other directions 1t is stated the
firm had interests in stocks, coffee and
grain. 1t is now a question what is to
be done. We cannot believe that cot
ton is worth what it is selling for to-
day. Because one operator fails this is
no reason the market should go to
pieces. OF course it is a blow to the
speculative end. There is no prospect
of a big rise at the moment, but the
best people look for Improvement.
