COTTON FEvER1sH.
Wide Fluctuations, Bad Breaks and

NEW YORK, March 1s.-The cotton mar

thing less than fifteen minutes. There was
a perfect avalanche of selling orders. COM
ing apparently from all directions. The de-
clines uncovered further long lines. New
Orleans was a heavy seller, and the bear
clique seemed determined to undermine all
the remaining long lines in the market. By
1918 o'clock May had gone down 10 IA 75
and July to 14.S6. and inside of another fif-
teen minutes had recovered to nearly last
nights prices under active covering. Then
they again sagged off, ruling very active

In less than ten minutes after the OPEN
Ing another half cent had been taken off
the price of cotton contracts today. No
morning of the season had witnessed a
more perfectly demoralized market. Prices
went up 10. 20 and 30 points in two or
three minutes of time. May opened at
1925 and sold down to 1915 in less than
fifteen minutes, while July, opening at
1o.22 went down to 14.S6 Toward the end
of the first half hour early sellers started
to cover and there was a rapid advance.
There was nothing in the news to account
for the excitement; cables were rather bet
ter than expected, and receipts ran little
smaller. 1t seemed merely renewal of
bear operations, and the catching of fur
ther stop orders.
AT midday the market was still feverish
as to tone. and went 12a19 points lower.

get for their no!dings' If the Old Rock

There is contest pending in the matter
of the estate of Mr.. Shehan and the disap-

Office of the register of wills several months

a sensa ton.
A thorough search of the Office was
made at the time, but the wills could not

covered the missing wills among the pa

ters office is that the wills were secretly
returned and placed among the papers re-
ferred to, but when and by whom it is not
known.
