Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

A concerted attempt by the bears TO
wreck the cotton market was made both
here and in New York today. The effort
was partly successful, prices in the local
market being forced down TO 1.07 or %
points from the top. before the bulls could
rally their forces The pretext for the
selling was a rumor that San Francisco
insurance company had made an assign
ment Large blocks of cotton were thrown
on the market in New York, causing
sudden break there, and about the same
time heavy selling orders appeared in the
local market which slumped violently for
a few minues. One OF the leading bulls
checked the decline by taking all cotton
that was offered The market then began
to rally and gradually worked back to
the lead OF II 20 for July. Profit taking
by those who had bought on the break
and some fresh short selling caused part
of the recovery to be lost before the
close which was at a net loss for the
day of to g points on the old and
to or the new crop months.
Spots were firm and unchanged. Sales
amounted to 1850 bales all told.
Only about $1,000 notices were issued
in New York today. and were promptly
stopped. The market had smooth sailing
until the bear attack was made which
was apparently a concentrated effort to
destroy confidence In the market. Such
tactics as these show how desperate the
situation IL on the side OF hears and
will undoubtedly result in making the
bulls more aggressive from now on. The
bull leader in New York was reported
TO have been large buyer on the brealS
and the tension in that market Is be-
coming extreme. Some large spot houses
In New York appear TO have been caught
on the wrong side of the May deal.

INGS BANK DEPOSITS.

The Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Co., of Hyde
Park, VT, calls the attention of
Savings Bank depositors to the
fact that they may increase their
present deposits in this Bank to

of $1,000 or less in some other
Savings Bank. Such deposit will
not be subject to taxation against
the depositor. The Bank pays
the tax.
The Lamoille County Savings
Bank enjoys the unique distinc-
ton of having never loaned a
dollar outside of Vermont and of
having never lost a dollar by a
poor note, during the entire sew
enteen years of its existence. 1t
is today one of the strongest
financial institutions in the state.
Including the liability of the
stockholders, it offers a guaranty
of more than $150,000 that no
depositor shall suffer loss. 1t pays
3 IL per cent. interest, compound
ed semi-annually.
An interesting leaflet giving de-
tailed information, touching this
Bank, will be sent to anyone.

Yates, the Montpelier, VT, lady who had
sunk beyond the hope of recovery in thu
