BROWN MAY LEAD
 BULL CAMPAIGN

New York, June 5.-The appearance of w. P Brown one of the prominent New Orleans bull leaders on the floor of the New York Cotton exchange, today was the signal for rumors that Brown had come here for the purpose of taking charge of an end session bull campaign somewhat similar to that in which he had figured last year when the cotton, during August, sold at 20 cents pound. MT. Brown refused to discuss the possibility of a bull campaign, but expressed conf dence in much higher prices for old cot ton. He said: 7
 'I am very bullish on the old crop. The supplies of raw material and manu- factured goods at the end of the session will be so small that both will practi- cally corner themselves, and next year q very large crop will be absolutely neces- sary for actual requirements and to fill up the holes.
 .'The new crop in nearly all sections is needing rain and the general public seems to be of the opinion that this crop is an early one which is not the case. South Texas, South Georgia and South Alabama will get early cotton. The rest of the territory is from normal to late and the present drouthy condition in al- most the entire belt makes an already late crop later"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-06
STILL TALKING OF
 NEW REVOLUTION

New Orleans June 5.-Juan N. Estrada, who recently resigned the presidency of Nicaragua, following a series of demon- strations against his administration, dis appointed a large delegation of his ad- herents here who weer at the United Fruit company's wharf in anticipation of his arrival from Guatemala. Estrada was not aboard. but passengers on the steamer Preston brought the news that the former president came aboard for a few minutes at Beliz, British Honduras.
 Besides the Nicaraguans. who anxious ly awaited the arrival of Estrada there. were on the wharf several well-known soldiers of fortune who served in the "American Legion" in Mexico and who are looking for new fields of adventure.
 While some of the local packers of Esy trada in the last Nicaraguan revolution, which he successfully led, deny that he will start further trouble in that country, a report has gained currency here that he will head movement for the division of Nicaragua into two separate republics, with Bluefields the capital of the Atlantic coast division.
 Unless the United States takes a deter mined stand against fomenters of further disorders in that country, 1t is not doubt ed here that within the next week definite plans will have been laid for another rev. olution in Nicaragua.

New York Cotton Futures
New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, June 5-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to 12 points on the old crop months and an advance of 12 to 15 points on the new. The weather map was called unfavorable as 1t showed practically no train in the cotton country and private reports stated that the drouth was becoming serious over large area. In the early trading buying was general for both accounts with offerings coming principally from profit taking longs. At the end of the first half hour of business, the list was 10 to r points over Fridays close. The advance on the opening was partly in sympathy with the rise in New York Sat urday.
 The market was dull but steady throughout the morning session. The de- mand was moderate but insstent and it was hard for the ring to find the con- tracts to fill it, since shorts were wary of adding to their lines under the wealth CT conditions prevailing and at times realizing by longs was not large. The forecast promised no relief to the drouthy conditions over the cotton country and this added to the steadiness. At the highest prices were 12 to g points over yesterdays close. At noon the list was well to 15 up.
 In the afternoon session the tone of the market was very steady. Offerings were scanty and insufficient to meet the demand which could be called only mod crate. At 2 o'clock prices were 15 to 21 points Fridays close.
 The market closed steady at a net ad- vance of 1S to g points.

WHEAT LOSES
 SHARP ADVANCE  Wave of Speculative Buying Counteracted By Long's
 Realizing Sales

Chicago. June 5-A huge wave of spec ulative buying in the wheat pit ran against heavy realizing sales on the part of longs. In consequence much of a sharp advance was lost and the market closed easy at prices varying from Sat urday's level to 3-4 above. Corn fin-
 shed Is down to IA at 3-8 up oats a gain of l-2 to 3-4 and provisions more costly by cents to 20 cents.
 The volume of trade In wheat exceeded that of any other day for weeks. This awakening of interest was apparently due somewhat to widening impression that the crop had lost ground during the last month and that such a condition would be clearly shown in the government re- port Thursday. However, the handsome profits in sight were tempting to owners and there was remarkably free unload- ing on the bulges. Hot weather over the greater portion of the winter wheat section had much to do with bringing out bullish enthusiasm. Besides, the cash demand here continued good and there were reports of better inquiry for flour at Minneapolis. Between the opening and tho close July fluctuated from 93 IS to 94 cents and in the end was easy at the first named figures, precisely the same as AS hours before.
 Prospects of more normal weather led to increased corn sales by the country. Provision interests were likewise con- spiouous on the selling side at an ad- vance which had resulted from strength In other cereals and from the high tenn perature in the southwest. The range for July was from 54 5-S to 55 1-2c with the close easy 5-S off at the low point ol the day. Cash grades were barely steady. No yellow finished at 55@55 3-4.
 A big rush to buy oats had origin in the Missouri state report showing @ se- rlous Tall in the condition of the grow ing crop there. The ensuing advance. thoughs was taken advantage to secure profits and there was decided reaction. July varied from 37 IA to 3Sc and closed Is net higher at 37 1-2.
 Provisions were helped by the liberal exports and through the advance of grain and hogs when the pit was cleared. pork was to 1Oc higher than Saturday night. with lard and ribs up. too, but only by half as much.
 Future quotations were ne fo11ou,e.
