New York, Jan. 12.-There was a
further big break in the cotton mar
ket today, making the third sensation
al slump in prices since the move
ment started early last week. Panic
stricken longs in all parts of the
world seemed to tbe hquidating their
cotton regardless of prices, and the
action of the market showed much
intense excitement and finds paral-
lei only in the serious sensational
following the collapse of
the Sully boom. For more than a
year cotton has been advancing and
toward the end of last month prices
reached level which, since the Civil
war, had only been equalled when
Sully was at the height Of his fame,
March contracts selling atT1S II and
May at 1915, but at the eliminating
point of today's decline March con-
tracts sold at 14.60 and May 14.7S, Il
loss from the high record Of $7.S5 to
$8.40 per bale.
There does not appear to have been
any change ~in general trade condi-
tions to warrant the almost unprece-
dented slump in prices, and in con-
trast to the Sully year no financial
difficulties have been precipitated.

The Insurgents are said to have
plenty of provisions. They are now
