he was informed of the accident, and
he abandoned his route and hurried

of his friend.
Mr.. Leonard, it will be remember

NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

New Orleans, Feb. 19.--The cotton flu
this morning. the more active months
standing Is TO 81 points under yesterday
closing. The break was in sympathy with
the wide and unexpected decline in the
Liverpool market. Great confusion sur
rounded the opening and brokers strug-
gled hard to fill the great volume of SELL
ing orders pouring in.
Outside interests were unable to ac-
count for the slump and they sold out as
soon as the market opened. The situation
was complicated by the fact that the mar
ket is facing a triple holiday. This in
creased the desire of long traders to even
up. In the trading Immediately follow
ing the opening there was moderate re-
covery, amounting to 5 or points on
some months on profit taking by shorts,
but the market did not have good tone.
Private messages from the Liverpool
market said prices had given away under
heavy American selling and disappoint-
ment over the poor showing of the week
end statistics.
