Futures showed more weakness this

again Unexpectedly favorable, but the
wonderful resistance against lower
prices that the English market has
shown during the last two days was
not taken into consideration by local
traders. Bears enthusiastically food

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 1S.-The cotton
market opened weak at an advance
of points on April, but generally UNI
changed to II points lower on further
bear pressure and liquidation in spite
of better cables than expected, and
smaller estimates for the days re-
| ceipts. The continued pressure
against the market in the face of rath-
er more bullish developments suggest
| ed a determined effort to undermine
the concentrated bull interest believed
to exist in May contracts, and the idea
| became more general that a powerful
| bear interest was in the market. Com
mission houses who had been advising
purchases on the decline became more
cautious and while during the fore
noon there were frequent sharp rallies
prices gradually went down and down
Towards 2 o'clock, when margin
prices were made up, May was SELL
ing around 14.S0c. This represented a
decline since the high point of only
few days ago of about 1856 points or
nearly 1926 a bale. This evidently was
More than the bull interest could
finance, and just before 2 o'clock the
suspension of D. ]. Sully & Co. was
announced. Immediately the market
was plunged into the widest scene
VI brokers were panic
stricken, and cotton came pouring out
with and without orders. The mar
ket went down as though there was
no bottom. No one seemed to care
about buying; every one waited to
sell. The big bears, whoever they
have been, whose selling is believed
to have started a little over a week
ago, may have bought some cotton,
but they were careful not to buy
too actively, and before the decline
was checked even May had sold at
12.65c and July at 12.S0c. This was
loss as compared with last nights
closing prices of from $50 to 260 points,
or about $3.50 a bale. The decline
from the high point reached on the
close of last week was about cents
pound, or about 500 a bale.
Just before the close covering helped
prices somewhat and the market was
finally steady at net decline of 62@
1856 points, with May closing at 1890
and July at 1850.
Sales were estimated at 1900. 900
bales. The usual factors were entire
ly lost sight of during the entire ses-
sion. Receipts were light, and the
news generally was rather more fav-
orable to prices than of late, but the
only considerations were those con-
cerned with the speculative situation.
In spite of the recent severe declines
and reports concerning the large line
held by Sully interests it may be said
that the suspension came as more or
less of surprise to the general trade.
The Sully holdings are variously es-
timated. Local traders recently have
detected the existence of a large in
terest in May which has been estimat-
ed at around S00,0 bales, and the
bear drive resulting in to-day's devel-
opments is thought by some to have
represented the efforts of shorts to
force the loosening of the bull grip
on the May option, which, If contin-
ued, must have resulted seriously to
shorts.

The announcement of Sully's sus-
pension almost created a panic on the
floor of the local Cotton Exchange yes
terday. when the news that the leader
of the New York bulls had gone TO
the wall. Not in years has the loca'
clientele been thrown into a greater
state of excitement.
The failure of the king bull was not
announced on the floor of the eX-
change until just before the close of
the market. The nearby wire houses,
however, had posted the report,
and the violent fluctuations of
the market showed the traders
that there was something doing.
Shortly before the close cotton com
menced to tumble, and inside of TWEEN.
~ minutes the market broke almost
cents on the active months. Before
the close New York showed decline
of 1888 points. and New Orleans also
went down 16S points.
The market opened at an advance of
points. but it was scarcely before
the lunch hour that it commenced to
show a break.
The sales in New York aggregated
over 100000 bales.
The local market became so denor-
allied that no spot quotations were
posted at the close.
The fob. market opened at Is cents,
and while no figures were put up at
o'clock. 1t was a well known fact that
cotton could be had at 1890 at the
close of the market.

PLANT A CAUSE OF CANCER.
OIeander Is Said to BE a Prolific
Breeder of Dread Complaint.
From the Nav York SIM.

From the New York Sun.
When l was a child a neighbor rode
to our door on horseback. While ha
was talking with my father his horse
crowded close to the porch and at
tempted to bite some twigs of an ole
ander The man was greatly alarmed
when he saw that the animal had
broken a stalk, asked for water and
washed the horses mouth thoroughly
My father asked the reason for his
anxiety. He said a mouthful of tha
twigs would kill the horse almost in
stantly, and told of a horse that died
in severe tremors a few minutes after
eating a few shoots of the PANT also
of a neighbor who pruned her ole
ander plants and threw the branches
into little pond in the barnyard. The
cattle drunk the water and died.
Some years later playmate was nm
der medical treatment for an enlarge
ment of the throat which seemed to
threaten goitre. Her house was an OLE
ander bower and the blossoms were
her favorite decoration. She some
times bit the stems off If they were too
long. After months of the most thor
ough treatment the swelling disap-
peared.
"A young woman VINO was extremely
fond of oleander plants kept a verv
large tree in her room. One day in
midwinter she dug out a portion of the
earth and filed in the space with fresh
soil from the florists in order that her
favorite might throw out new crop
of blossoms That night she complain
ed of serious irritation of her throat
A few days later the glands below the
ear enlarged until they were on a
line with her cheek For nearly
year every remedy known to medical
science was tried The swelling at last
yielded to treatment and she perma-
nently recovered.
Another woman tranSplanted and re-
potted large number of oleanders, be-
coming much wearied with her task
She complained that night of a curious
irritation in her throat. A swelling
came in the glands below her ear.
All remedies failed. 1t became malg-
nant and caused her death about six
months afterward.
Within the past year a death from
cancer of the face or mouth has oc-
Cured in a household where are the
largest and most beautiful oleanders
1 have ever seen. Yet another case
is that of a woman of middle age
whose favorite flower was the olean-
der. She kept all varieties, collecting
them from various place as she found
new ones. She had clearly develop
ed cancer, took treatment for years
and was, so the doctors assured her,
entirely cured. Whether any symptoms
of the disease have developed within
the last eight or ten years 1 am unable
to saw.
l might give other instances, but
these are to my mind sufficient ground
for belief that there is some connec-
ton between the oleander and glandu-
lar affections of a more or less malig
nant character.

COFFEE FUTURES STEADY.

New York. March 1S.-The market
for coffee futures opened steady at un-
changed prices in keeping with the
character of the early news and fol-
lowing the call showed little feature
until the announcement of the d. j.
Sully & Co. suspension caused moder-
ate liquidation, and the market was
finally steady at unchanged prices to
a decline of 10 points. Sales, $4,000
bags.
1t is not generally believed that the
firm of d. ]. Sully & Co. were inter-
ested to any extent in the coffee mar
ket The liquidation which followed
the announcement of the failure APP
peared to be chiefly in sympathy with
the development I'm cotton, many of the
people interested in coffee being also
connected with the cotton market.
