=, New Orleans, Oct. William +.
brown, widely known in the cotton
business, died here to-day. He had
been III for some time.
William Perry Brown, the cotton
KING and one Of the most daring and
spectacular operators ever known on
INC cotton Exchange, was born at Co.
Iumbus, Miss, fifty-three years ago.
ne learned tho cotton trade at his
native place. Thence he went TO New
orleans and became a cotton factor
under the name of w. Z. Brown e. Co.
In 1898 he came into national notice
as bull" Spectator. Two years later
ne and Frank b. Haynes tried to cor
ner the market, but were apparently
beaten, being confronted with the ne
cessity of taking delivery on 10000
bales at price which would have
meant ruin to them.
Just IN the nick Of time the Gal
weston food occurred and sent the
price OF cotton soaring, with the result
that they both made large fortunes.
ms encouraged Brown to organize
i ms stupendous campaign of 1903.
lnree corners" were made in that
year First, Theodore Price sent quo
tations up to 10 cents. Then d. ]. Sully
sent them a cent higher still. Finally.
IN July, Brown and Haynes got control
or both the New York and New Or
leans exchanges and forced the price
up to IL cents. At one time they had
100000 bales of spot" cotton.
The result of the transactions was
to give Brown and his associates enor-
nous profits, but to demoralize the cot
ton manufacturing industry of the
world, many mills in America and
England being forced TO close for A
time. Another result was TO move the
BRITISH, German and other foreign gov
ernments 70 make liberal appropria-
tlons, appoint official commissions and
take other practical steps for the de-
Eelopment of cotton culture in Africa.
Indla and elsewhere, so as TO be inde-
pendent Of the American supply-a
movement which is now meeting with
much success.
In 1910 Brown. Haynes and others
organized another big cotton deal
winch involved them in serious litipa-
tion. Four of them were indicted by
a federal grand jury for violation Of
the antitrust law. One Of them. James
A. Patten, paid a fine of $4,000. while
Brown, Haynes and Eugene Scales en-
tered pleas Of nolo contendere. which
were accepted.

Scales and Robert VI. Thompson were
again indicted on substantially the
same charges, the bill emitting. how
