The new Nevada divorce law is,
perhaps, the most elastic ever entered

COTTON There are more new cOttOn kings anu
princes today than before. Practically all OF
thosa are southerners, who have had expert
knowledge of this staple. Most OF them have been
cotton planters themselves large scale, and all
their lives they have been studying cotton, its
growth and it's overwhelming markets.
Almost every day there have been rumors fly
ing about as to what Patten was doing in cotton.
But curiously enough there has been never word
said about the real bull leader in the cotton mar
ket, the man who has been the biggest speculator
in this staple and who recently has jumped into
the multimillionaire class, Eugene G. Scales Of
Dallas Tex. Scales is the most towering bull,
probably that the cotton market ever has known.
Patten is a piker beside him. Even the celebrated
Mr.. Sully in his palmiest days never operated on
such huge basis Scales has been in the last
eight months .~.@
This new and mighty multi-millionaire in the cot
ton market has steadfastly kept himself in the
background. He is amateur speculator, how
ever, for five years ago he was in one of the Sully
campaigns and retired from the fight with several
large dents in his financial armor But now he
has back all his losses and lot more.
Some among the many others who know cotton
and have big fortunes through its rise in price
are Fergus Reid of Norfolk, Va; Morris H. Roth
sch1ld of Woodville, Miss; William P. Brown OF
New Orleans and Louis s. Berg of Mississippi.
Berg had charge Of the Chalmette terminals at
New Orleans not long ago and was hard-working
ra1lorad man. A little later he pieced together a
lot of small Mississippi railroads and combined
them into an effective and profitable system. Then,
with modest fortune, he came to New York, and
since then has been making money out Of cotton.

these new milionares that perhaps like the incur
sion Of a new race they will overwhem and con-

been priding themselves having their wealth for
decade or more. At any rate, the names Of most

Not only that, but large number of new groups
of great financial strength has been developed.
There is the Hawley group, for instance which
has made millions and millions in the rise in val

OF this coterie, was not big Wall street figure

Another of the Hawley group who is one of the
new crop of multi-millionaires is banker named
Scott, who piled up small fortune dollar by dol

many fold of late in Wall street. Still another of
the same group is Robert Fleming. He was not
poor man when the rise in stocks began, but he is
said to be very rich one now. Then there is a
new crop Of Union Pacific millionaires, Southern
Pacific millionaires, Wabash, Rock Island and

sprung up lately through the up
ward sweep Of prices in Wall
street. Great corporations, like the
fire and the life insurance COM
panies, have also profited stupen-
dously. These tremendous reser-
voirs of money own huge blocks of
shares in scores of railway and in
dustrial companies-lots OF from
10000 shares to almost control
g ling interest. The most OF these
are sober, gilt-edged, dividend-pay-
ing stocks that have not been spec
tacular in their advance in price as
compared with some Of those that
have gone up like skyrockets. Yet
even these high-priced shares have
been enhanced in value from 20 to
so per cent. in the last IL months.
They were bought at panic prices,
so the published records of these
companies show, and these institu-
tions now are said to be selling
them off, cautiously and carefully
at the fancy figures that have been
prevailing of late. Unlike the in
dividual investor, they believe in
cashing in their winnings and salt
ing them down until there is an
other chance to buy cheap.

groups of mfllionaires and multi
millionaires also. Some of these
have won their wealth in wheat,
others in corn, but most Of them in
