As Bottom Drops Out Of
The Cotton Market.
The New Orleans Bull Leader
Undermined by The Bears
And Cotton Drops Sharply in New
York and New Orleans.

New York. Jan. 1.-THE big bull
campaign in cotton collapsed today
with the most sensational perpendlcu-
| lar decline seen in a week of erratic
receSsions. Reports freely circulated
| in the trade after the close of the mar
ket had it that the position of the
| leading Southern bull has been COM
pletely undermined by the continued
! liquidation which has been in progress
since early in the year.
At the low point today New York
| contracts showed q decline of from
$500 to $3.50 a bale from the closing
prices of the night previous which was
| a break of from $50 to $3.50 bale
| from the high figures OF the day and
| of $13.35 to $14.25 a bale from the high
point of the season. May contracts
touched 1870 late in the afternoon.
The bull market has lasted for over
| q year. At the height of the campaign
| it was estimated that +. G. Scates of
Texas, the leader. had accumulated
paper profits of S10.000,000 for the sea-
son AS a Christmas present, he is
said to have given $4,000 to one of his
favorite brothers and another accepted
story had it that he made over $1,000
GOO in cash to one of his brothers. His
heaviest holdings We're in May cotton
and he and his friends were generally
believed at one time to control con-
tracts calling for the delivery of fully
100000 bales during that month.
The situation had developed before
the beginning of the decline into a
threat of the greatest squeeze of shorts
, IN the history of the trade but other
bulls who had followed Mr.. Scates'
lead without enlisting in his party de-
cided that the time was ripe for bear
raid, One after another the big ac-
counts began to come into the market
The Scates party was said to have it's
cotton margined down to 10 cents a
pound, and it was confidently asserted
that its members would never abandon
their stand. Today it was announced
that Mir. Scates had transferred his
holdings to the leading bear interest
Smaller operators We're hard nipped.
but it is believed the large bulls lid
uidat'' 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 90 to 80 points up from the low
marks today. A much better feeling
prevails in the trade tonight and it Is
thought that a better market may be
expected for the coming week with
prices more generally influenced by
legitimate demand supply.
After the official close May contracts
changed hands at 1i.10 compared with
1870, the low point of the day. The
market which the bears are said to
have taken over the bull holdings is
49, cents.

be remembered that Reyes, who was
second in command of the revolution
ary army, turned traitor and went to
Managua with Madriz from Costa RIGA.
Ger. Estrada, therefore, refused Reyes
permission to come here. Gen. Huralde,

TODAY asking that a boat be sent to
Greytown to convey the Red Cross,

Market Sumps, With Loss of About
$3.50 Per Bale.

New Orleans, Jan. 14.-One of the
worst sumps in the history of the cot
ton future trading was recorded today.
Prices of the old crop deliveries broke
soon after the lunch hour in most
sensational manner and within a very
short time were from 100 to 116 points
down from the high levels of the day,
a loss OF about $3.50 a bale. Within
less than half an hours trading there
was break of so points and quotations
crumbled away, as registered on the
sales board, from I to II points at a
time. The prices established were al
most three cents a pound, or u a bale
lower than the highest level of the
season
The cause of the break was generally
regarded as without explanation. Large
| traders. including prominent Southern
bulls who recently went to New York
nave b"en talking very bullishly. 1t
War known, however. that a powerful
bear Clique has trained it's guns on
TINS bull factor. The decline started in
New York and followed Il period Of
quiet trading in which the market had
| taken on a steady tone which led bulls
to believe that liquidation from their
! side was about over.
Suddenly the selling started and in a
| few minutes time the market was in
a state of semi-panc with long cotton
trades thrown overheard by thou
sands of bales. In the last half hour
of trading the decline was checked by
profit taking by the bears. They
bought heavily ana the result was a
| reaction OF about 80 points, or $1.50 a
bale.
