Sullivan referred to the political

so bereft of n sense of proportion" as
to aspire to the presidency unmindful

rule Sullivan out of order and he CON

SELLING WEAKENED
 TIE COTTON MARKET
Predictions of Bearish Census Reporton Cotton Ginnedis Cause OPENING AT AN ADVANCE
Southern Spots Were Is Higher to Ia LoWer-Bear Raid In New York Caused the
 Break.

New York, December 1S-After carly flrmness the cotton market weakened un- der selling for both accounts. which seemed to be chiefly due to predictions for a bearish census report giving the amount of cotton ginned to December 1S, which Is expected on Wednesday, The 1sG1s points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 6Q7 points in response to higher cables. The bank failures reported from Chicago and the weak opening of the stock market probably checked demand at the advance and the market during the early session was irregular. There was bull support on weak spots, however, and after easing off to a net loss of about 7dS points the mar ket rallied to practically the Initial fig- ures. Later 1t broke under a local bear raid. following rumors that the report of of the National Ginners to be made pub lie tomorrow would show 9,317. coo bales ginned to December IS. This was taken as pointing to showing by the census bureau later in the week of about 9500,- GOO bales. and the market in the after noon was weak and unsettled. The decline caught some stop loss orders around 1l.90 for March, which forced that position off to 11.S4, and the market closed within a point or two of the lowest. Sales were estimated at 100000. Southern spot markets were 1s higher to 1s lower Receipts at the ports today, 4511S bales against 4s,- 4S2 last week and 55.ls0 last year, For the week, estimated. 23o,000 against 256,- 757 last week and 301 SIS last year.

WIPE SLATE CLEAN
 IN STOCK MARKET Market Thrown Into Spasm of Fright Over Chicago News AMALGAMATED Is SOLD Big Blocks of It Are Disposed of. Enormous Support Afforded
 Market to Prevent

New York, December 1s.-The news from Chicago this morning practically wiped the stock market slate clean and gave . new basis to start from. The failure of three important banking institutions in Chicago came as total surprise to Wall street so far as any previous de- velopment had indicated. The. stock mar ket was thrown into a spasm of fright and the appearance of the market at the opening sufficiently indicated the detern1i- nation of alarmed holders to get rid of sheir stocks at any price.
 Various orders to sell 1000 share blocks of amalgamated copper came together to sn aggregate of over 10,00o shares. part of them being sold at 1000 and others si- multaneously all the way down to ssh This was the extreme example of the affect of the news on the stock exchange, although there were very wide opera tions on running sales In Union Pacific, Brooklyn transit, St. Paul and other inn portant stocks at severe losses. In the surb market United copper in which the speculation has been very active recently, sold at 6S, then abruptly slumped to 4S. Theso disastrous effects in prices were due In large measure to the extremely heavy stop loss orders which honeycombed the market at level slightly below Sat urdays closing. The orders in such cases are to sell stocks at any price in the event of the market falling to a given point and the resulting avalanche is sure to gain speculative force. This being the rass it was perceived that prompt meas ures were required to avert a panic. Enor- 1nous support was accorded the market and the demoralized sentiment thus alien ated. There was a secondary wave of liquidation made up on the part of be- lated orders in the market by outsiders, and in part by those who were able to withhold their selling during the open ing period when there was practically no demand. The market ebbed and flowed over a lesser range during the latter part of the day. but the principal liauida- tion seemed to have spent It's force and

eIbert 6 cIay's Market Letter.

Although Liverpool sent over favorable cables and values in that market, showed an advance of 4 to 5 English points bet ter than expected, there was an absence of bullish enthusiasm on this side, which was most noticeable in the failure 10 re- spond to the better Liverpool prices and tone.
 Aggressive selling carried prices down in New Orleans and New York about $1 per bale from the high figures of the day. Part of this weakness was caused by ru- mors that the National Ginners' associa- tion figures, to be issued tomorrow, would be s,Si7 900 bales but this rumor failed of confirmation.
 Should the National Ginners' figures be over 9,900.Oo, 1t would likely cause re- newed liquidation and strong bearish pressure on the market. which could cas- fly result In further declines. but if such declines should be radical we suggest buying cotton. On the other hand should the market be forced up considerably prior to the issuance of the census gin- ming figures day after tomorrow. it might be the part of wisdom to take profits and await the result of the government fig ures before renewing interest In the mar ket.

the most damaging part of the losses were recovered. It was evident that the aggra- vated effect produced by the Incident was largely due to the over-extended condition of speculation. Successful speculators have been reinvesting their profits in new pur- chases of some of the very volatile stocks which makes very insecure condition in the market During the latter part of last week some misgivings began to be perceptible already over the conditions resulting from some of the most violent speculation. This added to the vulnerabll- ity of the market as to the immediate financial consequences of the Chicago mlshap. the prompt measures taken by the Chicago clearing house and the insur- ance against a loss for the depositors of the banks, gave strong hopes that the consequences would be localized and restricted. There was nothing to show that any New York interests were af- fected. The stock market view of the af- fair was founded more on the possible effects of the failures on general business confidence and the standing credits. Cred its are heavily expanded and bank re- serves are low and the persistency with which the consequences of this state of affairs are ignored, especially the high rates for money, is due to the uni versal care in the soundness of these out standing credits. The shock now given to confidence arouses dread that some con traction of credits will be forced and the extension of enterprise hampered by a suspicion of the-soundness of the busi- ness fabric. Money continued strong in this market, but eased off later in the day In spite of remittance to Chicago and foreign exchange was also strong for remittance by the last steamer available for end year payments abroad. few stocks were marked up in sensational way late in the day, and prices generally were moving strongly upward at the close with no important losses remaining.

Ware & Lelsnd,s Market Letter.

Liverpool sent strong cables this morn ing reporting improved trade in Manches- ter with yarn prices advancing and spin ners ready to buy.
 Futures advanced as much as s points helped by American buying orders. but lost most of the improvement toward the close.
 Opening to 12 points higher, profit taking and selling by room traders soon caused decline in our market to Satur- days closing figures. News of several bank failures fin Chicago checked bulish enthusiasm which was again becoming very rampant Saturday.
 There is no organized support, however. therefore no matter how bullish the cen sus report may be next Wednesday bears will have no trouble in checking its effect and induce liquidation by force of money just as was done after publication of the bureau.
 Spots quiet and steady, buyers waiting for census report Factors firm, the in- terisr offering a little Christmas cotton. A 19 point spurt in New York temporar- fly caused advance here but people have been fooled too often and now want to be sure about their chances before they see the rise. bluffs don't find so many victims any more This makes ring in- terests healthy and bear selling more dangerous, as before.
 Advances established on good cause are therefore more liable to stick from now on.

New Orleans. December 1S.-The easier tone that the market developed immedi- ately after the opening today was in duced by the reported failure of three Chicago banks. The market subsequently, steadied up somewhat. but there was feeling of suppressed nervousness over the forthcoming ginners' report. and later In the day prices broke sharply on gen. eral rumor that the National Ginners report would show over 93O0'0O0 bales ginned. Bears, both here and in New York hammered the market and suc- ceeded in dislodging some weak longs. liquidation carrying prices as low as 12.11 for March at one time, Big bulls, now ever. came to the support of the mar ket. and there was a slight recovery be- fore the close, which was steady at a net loss for the day of points on fu- tures Spots were officially reported easy and unchanged.

 Our advices from Chicago are to the ef- feet that after careful investigation had been made into the matter. 1t developed that there was no cause for alarm what ever. as every depostor will be paid in full. that 1t Is a ,ocal matter and has been expected by few for some time back, and that the worst is over. The three institutions, so we understand. were under the same management and housed under the same roof The banks of Chi cago responded to the aid of those in trouble and from all accounts it is only a matter of suspension and not one Of failure Until the above developments were heard of. the market received every encouragement to do better
