BULLS WEATHER STORM.
ABSORB 100000 BALES OF MAY
COTTON.
No TremOr to be Obscrved-Aftcr
Preliminary FURRY, No Great En-
element Is Observation-Disclosures of
Dollars Involved.

New York, April 29.-Two hun
dred thousand bales of cotton were
swallowed by theb ull clique on the
New York cotton exchange on this
the first day Of May notices" without
so much as tremor. Fifteen million
dollars, it is estimated, went from
bull pockets in the course of the
transaction, but so easily was the cot
ton absorbed that after a prelimi-
nary furry, there was no great ex-
element. At the end of the days
operations. the bull leaders-Patten,
Scales. Hayne and Brown-were ap-
parently more strongly entrenched
than ever. Transactions were twice
as large as any previous days bust
ness in the history of the exchange.
Inasmuch as the shorts have un-
til May 81 to meet their contracts it
had been predicted by some that to-
days transactions would repesent
only a part of the cotton to be deliv-
cred, but as the day progressed it
was the opinion in the trade that the
bulk OF the staple they must produce
was brought out today. Although the
big four" are known to have clear
ed large sum, no authoritative esti-
mates OF the amounts could be OBJ
tained. None Of the bull leaders
would indicate the amount of cotton
which they had under contact, or
which was to be delivered on Mon
day. Their ultimate profits will de-
pend largely on their success in dis
posing of their holdings to spinners
Nevertheless the May situation is re-
garded as being fairly we'll cleared
up, and 1t is expected that the bulls
will turn to the July market in
which they are already heavily long,
with the hope Of repeating success
full operations.
Covering by scattered short inter-
ests today sent up prices sharply and
the advances for the day in the gen.
eral market ranged from 2 to &c
points above yesterdays closing
while May contracts closed at 14.7G
or s1.25 a bale, above the close of
yesterday.

MAhING PANAMA HATS.
Requires Thirty Days to Manufacture
a Good One.

The American consul at Honduras
has furnished the state department
with an interesting account Of how
Panama hats are made Incidentally
IL shows also that most of the social
ed Panama hats are limitations. since
the output of real Panama is quite
limited.
The Panama hat is a mlsnomer. he
says. Panama is only the place Of
departure for hats sent there from
South America. The Panama hats
made in Honduras. while possibly
not equal to the hats made In Jipi-
japa, Columbia. ere nevertheless Of
a superior grade, but being produced
on a small scale and as a household
industry they are practically unknown
In the United States. The plant from
which the hats are made is called
junto (hunco). known scientifically
as Carludovica palmeta named af-
ter Charles ", of Spain. and his
queen. Louisa. The softness of the
fiber and it's durability make it an ex-
cellent material for hat making. The
plants grow wild in many parts Of
the republic, being cultivated only in
the department of Santa Barbara, the
cultivation consisting OF keeping the
weeds and un6erbrush down. New
ertheless' tho fiber is superior TO that
OF the wild variety. The junco grows
somewhat like the banana plant In
that IL Dhs a parent stalk. and from
eight TO ten sprouts about the base.
When the sprouts are two to three
feet high. and about to flower, they
are cut of. the long. slim, spearlike
casing OF the flower is peeled off. the
inside OF the casing taken out, split
with shape bone into very thin strips
the thinner the slips the finer the
the sun to dry. In a day or two they
shrivel into light. compact. cylindri-
cal form. like a cord or string. These
are then put into a closer box and
smoked with sulphur fumes "a hours
20 bleach. when they are ready for
use. The fiber must be continuously
moistened while being woven to keep
II pliable.
The hat-making industry of Hon
duras is localized in the department
of Santa Barbara. where IL is carried
on by the women of nearly every
household. They acquire great skill
and rapidity in tie weaving. yet a
hat that will take all the time of an
expert weaver for thirty days will not
sell on the spot for more than IS to
IS. Hats arc made ranging from 81
tc SIS. Santa Barbara is about four
days journey from Peurto Cortes,
through which hats are exported to
the United States. the exports In 1909
amounting TO only sssS against So
0S1 In 1908. The journey from Peur-
to-Cortes TO Santa Barbara Is over
a rough mountain road, and must be
made on mule back. Most OF the hats
are bought up by native travelling
buyers, who go from village to viii
lage. picking up the output and send
ing them TO Guatemala, Mexico, Be-
lize, the United States and Europe
The output for local consumption and
for eNDOrt does not ranch s1O non
per annum. but IL could be largely
increased II there were a larger mar
ket therefor.
