Bill Rumor Causes
Break at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 27.-Cotton
was climbing to new altitude records
to-day until just at the close, when
a rumor, entirely uncorroborated, came
from Washington to the effect that
Oscar Underwood had introduced a
radical bill aimed against futures
trading.
On this rumor the ring went crazy.
Pandemonium broke loose and every
man tried to sell his neighbor. There
was no support and in the few min
utes before the gong October broke
from 1898 to 1854 The other active
months followed.
New York had just closed for the
week when the news came. The panic
reigned only for the few minutes be-
fore the New Orleans gong.
According to the rumor, Under
woods bill is more radical than any
thing Senator Clarke proposed, and
Clarke's bill would have wiped out the
cotton Exchange.
