BULL PANIC IN COTTON
RENEWED IN NEW YORK
Greater Decentralization Follows
Heavy Liquidation Begun
in Liverpool.

Nf.W YORK, January lo-There WIS :
renewal OF the bun panic in the cotton
market today, accompanied By even
greater decentralization than noted on the
previous break.
Liquidation began in Liverpool and was
continued on tremendous scale in the
local market, with March cotton sell
Ing down to 1887, May to 1904 and July
to 1.lOo. or AZ 10 46 points under the
closing prices of last night and from Sc
to 81 per bale below the recent high
record.
| 1t is believed that recent sensational
! fluctuations have unsettled holders on
very large lines of contracts. and one of
the big southern operators was credited
with having iquidated fully 100000 bales
during the first hours trading.
1t is rumOred i'll local circles that the
western bull clique liquidated its holdings
| last week. causing the break of about l
| cent Il pound. but that the holdings of
one of the southern bull cliqucS came on
| the market on the recovery following the
publication OF the census report Monday,
and that the liquidation of this morning
| represented the entire holdings Of an
other of the large bull interests.
Southern advices are almost unanimous
| i'll claiming that interior holders OF cot
! ton are not following the decline, but il
| is believed that spnners have been fright
ened out oi the market by recent specu-
lativc developments, and today there was
| practically no support until the price
! broke through l., cents for March. when
one of the big New Orleans traders en-
tered the ring with a bid for 10000 bales
of that delivery.
There was only a slight rally, however
and the market showed little improve
