CEASE
THEIR FIGHT
SPECTACULAR CAMPAIGN IN
COTTON COLLAPSES SUD-
pENLY-pEcLINE ENSUES.
LEADING SOUTHERN BULL UN-
DERMINED BY LIQUIDATION
WHICH HAS OCCURRED.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE big bull
campaign in cotton definitely col
lapsed today with the most spectac-
ular decline seen in week of erratic
recessions. Reports freely circulated
in thetrade after the close of the
market, had it that the position of the
leading southern bull has been COM
pletely undermined by the liquidation
that has been in progress since early
in the year.
At the low point today New York
contracts showed a decline of from
$500 to $3.50 bale from the closing
prices of the night previous, which
was a break of from 500 to $3.50
bale from the higher figures of the
day and $13.35 to $14.25 a bale from
the high point Of the season. May
contracts touched $3.50 late in the
afternoon.
The bull movement has lasted more
than a year. At the height of the
campaign it was estimated that e.
G. Scales of Texas, the leader, had
accumulated paper profits of $4,000
900 for the season. AS a Christmas
present he is said to have given $10,-
900 to one of his favorite brokers.
Another accepted story has it that he
had given million in cash to one of
his brothers. His heaviest holdings
were in May cotton, and he and his
friends were generally believed to
control contracts calling for the de-
livery of fully 100000 bales in that
month.
The situation had developed into a
threat of the greatest squeeze of shorts
ever recorded, but other bulls who had
followed Mr.. Scales lead without en-
listing in his party. decided the time
was ripe for bear raid.
Today it was announced that Mr..
Scales was transferring his holdings
to leading bear interests. Smaller
operators were hard nipped but it is
believed the largest bulls liquidated
above their average buying price for
the season.
AS soon as the news spread that an
agreement had been reached between
the conflicting interests the market
received aggressive support, closing
at from 20 to 80 points up from the
low mark

NlNETY-ONE MILLION
Total Population Expected to Show
Gain of u Per Cent

The total population of the United
States, as revealed by the thirteenth
census, is expected to be announced
by the census bureau December 10.
Counting Arizona and New Mexico
as states, the totals for twenty eight
ont of the forty eight states already
have been announced.
The grand total for twenty six of
these states is go, O36. 1853. which is a
gain of between 81 and % per cent
over the population in the same
states in 1900.
] At this rate of increase the total
population Of the country should be
about ninety one million.
The most striking development of
the census as SO far shown is the lela-
tive growth of cities and industrial
centers as compared with the farming
regions. The eastern states have
more than held their own, while the
states of the middle west have fallen
of.

directors, and work in this direction
will be begun at once.
