GOSSIP OF A STREET.
The ambore

There was not one but a dozen ex-
plantations of the smash In Crucible
Steel. Each OF these explanations APP
peared plausible to those who advanced
1t. One sensational yarn was that a
very high official in the company had
been forced to settle a big line of shorts.
Another wal that a second official of the
company had made 5000, 900 on the long
side. The old report that the Bethlehem
steel Corporation had been buying con-
troll again was brought out, with the
amendment that the corporation had now
got suf'iclent stock for its purpose. One
story was that "a leading firm had made
a mistake and had executed a big buy
ing as n selling order, touching of a
long string of sop loss orders. 1t was
also suggested that the banks had put
an end to the picnic by calling a halt
on loans. Ingenious rs all these ex-
plantations were, 1t may be questioned
whether 1t was necessary to strain after
any explanation at all. The market may
simply have collapsed under It's own
weight. When a stock advances from
VI to 80 in four days on tremendous
adm the mere mechanics of the
market require some sort of a reaction.

4 Rush TO Buy,

There was no doubt of the effect of
the Crucible Steel pyro,echnics upon the
public mind There was hardly a house
IN the street yesterday morning trat did
not have a Hood of buying orders before
the OPENING. Besides those offered In
person orders came by telegraph. tele-
phone and mail. Judging from the ex-
p%erience of his firm one broker tst!-
mated that II all OF these order had
been executed the business in Crucib.e
would have been twice as big A large
number of the orders. however, were not
executed. Brokers generally pointed out
TO their clients hat caution was sug-
gested BY the state OF the market. 4
brake WAS also put On speculation BY
tie raising Of margin requirements. This
was done generally. Moreover. at least
one house put up a notice before the
opening that In view Of the state Of
the market only cash orders would be ac-
cepted In Crucible common and preferred
until further notice. The wisdom OF the
higher margins exacted was proved by
the II point runaway break in the stock.
Accounts with stock bought above so on
n fifteen. twenty or even twenty-five
point margin would have been a consid-
cradle source Of worry to the broker
toward the close OF the day.

The rust reports that were circulated
In the wheat trade yesterday received

frequently led the downward trend or

more aggressiveness from operators en-

Hedge selling had much TO do With

REACTION IN COTTON
AFTER EARLY RISE
Uich temperatures and Lack
of Rain Fail to Check
Profit Taking.
FINANCING NEW CROP

Cotton was somewhat irregular yes
,crday. There was an advance in the
,,-,v trading. with buying based on re-
norris Of high temperatures and lack OF
,,ln over practically the entire belt. In
,,e afternoon ring professionals, who
rcre s,ul hearlsh at heart. took the SELL
,rr side ard brought about a reaction OF
10 10 T.. points. The net decline was n
matter Of S to . points.
To only private condition report is
sued Yesterday was that of Clement
curtls & CO.. of Chicago. who placed the
condition Of the crop at 77.5. compared
with SOS last month. The Journal OF
Commerce In its special report stated
,ba, the cotton was quite late in Texas
and oklahoma. owing to excessive rains
early in the month Tn Texas condi-
ton was placed at one to three points be-
low last month. while in Oklahoma the
addition destined 4 to . points, al
though the recent Improvement in the
weather would raise the prospects. IN
Tennessee the condition was abou. the
same az last month, with prospects good.
The early buying movement yesterday
WAS based on reports OF higl tempera-
lures over practically the entire belt.
Tem;cratures of 100 to l02 degrees were
,eported in every state in the Eastern
ieli, while oklahoma reported tempera-
lures as high as l0l degrees, and thir-
teen stations In Texas gave tcmpera-
,ires Of Zoe to l07 degrees.
Washington advices state that II has
been decided by the special cotton COM
mittee of the Federal Reserve Board
that the problem Of financing the cot
ton crop this year will not require any
extraordinary financial effort. The COM
mittee has decided that the financing
can be accomplished through the pres
ent operations Of the reserve banks
by d~iscounting commercial paper upon
cotton stored in warehouses and properly
insured.
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter says: THE cotton goods mar
ket continues rather steady. A slight
increase in future business Is noted.
Buyers feel that cotton is going to de-
cline to extremely low levels. so they
are uncertain and are postponing the
placing OF orders

Too BIg . Risk.

While the speculation In Crucibls was
at it's most furious pace there were a
good many floor brokers who studiously
avoided doing anything In Cruclbie, one
house that tried to have orders executed
was refused by half a dozen 81 men be-
fore they were accommodated, The ones
who refused figured that the chances OF
loss by mistakes that they would have
to make good were too great In the Kind
OF market that prevailed In Crucible,
Executing orders for somebody else for
81 a hundred In a market that WAS six
teen minutes behind he tape and with
half a dozen prices being made at the
same time was n bit too much. 1t was
risking their reputation as good brokers
at the least, The possibilities of money
loss too were not inconsiderabie at all.
For instance, a couple Of So men had "A
dlspute over a 1000 share order In
Crucihlo which ended by their dividing a
loss OF $4,000.

Madame sans.cens

In spite of all the nursing and
mourning in the city, Paris still re-
tains a touch of gayety It is related
that a certain lawyer of Paris, whose
delight it has always been to make
solemn folks laugh, appeared the 9TH
er day as counsel for a woman
charged with some not too grave mis-
demeanor. She was only a washer
woman, she was elderly and plain.
and the court was distinctly bored.
Gentlemen the lawyer exclaimed
suddenly. addressing the bench, gen
tlemen, you cannot find my client
guilty"
And why not?" asked the presid-
Ing magistrate somewhat sharply.
Because" came the smooth reply,
''she washes for General Joffre, and it
is her glorious privilege at this mo-
ment to be weeping into one of his
handkerchief
The entire bench of magistrates
thereupon gave strict attention to the
case. They not only found the wash
erwoman guilty as charged, but added
ten days to her sentence for stealing
General Joffre's handkerchief.
