COTTON MARKET PANIcY;
REACTS AFTER BIG BREAK
SENSATIONAL DECLINE OF 100 POINTS IN FORTY MINUTES
FRIDAY SACRIFICES BIG BULt---MR SCALES, OF TEXAS

The cotton market yesterday
recovered sixty points Of the loss
of the previous day, or about
half of the sensational slump
which swept values aside as il
the bottom of things had fallen
out.
During the last hour of trading
Friday the speculative cotton
market broke violently amid con-
ditions that were panlcy. Big
traders, bulls as we'll as bears, it
is said, were cunning for Mr..
Scales of Texas. the biggest
bull of them all, whose operations
had made him the target for
spot people and spinners for
weeks. 1t was believed that his
long line of cotton was weakly
margined and when that level
was reached prices tumbled SEN
sationally. January New York
sold to 1865; March, 1885; May,
1870; losses of about 120 points
from the high level of the morn
ing.
New Orleans went off even
more after New York closed.
News over private wires yester-
day was very optimistic in tone,
brokerage houses saying that the
object of tte bears attack hav-
ing been removed, much higher
levels should again prevail.
1t was said by friends of Mr..
Scales that seeing that he was
the target from all directions and
he closed out his cotton out of
consideration for his friends.
1t is also said that he has cleaned
up a million or so from the very
people who were cunning for
him. The GOODNESS and business
like manner in which the Texas
trader has handled his affairs in
New York. seems to have con-
stituted an unforgivable offense
against the big ones there who
have been in the habit of manip-
ulating prices pretty much to
suit themselves.
The market gained about sixty
points from the closing of the
day before and closed some
eighty or ninety better than the
lowest. In New York, March
closed at 14.43; May IA 90; New
Orleans, March, 14.54; May,
14.80.

Johnson Grass.

The following letter to Mr.. G.
Blewitt from Mr.. Herbert Post
of Fort Worth, Texas. will be of
interest to farmers who have
johnson grass land: He says,
Break up your Johnson grass
land in Sept. with heavy team
plowing 6 or 8 in. deep, making g
as high ridges as possible.
With a straight toothed harrow
go across the furrow, bringing
the roots to the surface which
the sun will destroy, for at this
season of the year the sap will
have gone to the roots they
bleed and die and the lower
roots decay. Be thorough in
this ana you will destroy the
gra5s. but at other seasons this
would cultivate it. Thirty-four
years of experience has taught
me that the South can grow no
other grass which is its equal for
hay. | never would destroy it to
grow any other grass which is its
equal for nay. | never would
destory it to grow cotton under
25 cents per pound. "

Worst PEST Than Rrloands.

On the highways of turbulent Cata.
lonia one might expect that the chief
danger TO the traveller would be the
brigand. By no means, The greatest
pests are the small children, who ac-
cost one at every turn. Treated with
the utmost consideration by their
parents-they are never corrected. it
is said, in any circumstances whatso-
ever-they track the foreigner, with
the irritating pertinacity of the mos.
quito And. like the mosquito, they
seek blood, crying
Il have neither father nor mother!
Cince centimosl" And the grubby
hands shoot up into ones face.

London as II Was.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates"
makes the statement that the old name
Of the city Of London was written
Lynden or Llyndin, meaning 'the city
on the lake" An old tradition gives
us to understand that Tendon WAS
founded by Brute, a descendant OF
Aeneas, and called New Troy or Troy
novant until the time Of Lud, who sur
rounded the town with walls and
named 1t Caer-Lud, or Lud's Town.
This latter is probably the correct YER
sion of the story, If for no other rea-
son because 1t is an easy matter to de-
tect a similarity between the express
sion Lud's Town and London. 1t is
claimed by some writers that there
was a City on the same spot 1907
years B. c., and It is known that the
Romans founded a city there called

who answered that the clothes seemed
to be exactly reproduced. He was
about to interrogate a third when the
painter stopped him and said impa-
tiently:
"The resemblance of the hat and
clothes Is of no Importance. Ask this

On being asked this question the
stranger hesitated a very long time.
