before the issuance of the government
report, he wanted to buy 100000 bales OF
cotton in the local market ~ He sought
out a broker who is regarded by his as
sociates as a man hoodooed by a long
run of bad luck. When the hoodoo man
started in to execute Scales order he
had not the least difficulty, and the mar
ket went up only a couple of points.
When he had secured $4,000 bales some
broker learned that Mr.. Hoodoo was act
