Favorable developments affecting
Southern States holdings in Montana
and reports of recent additions to its

VIOLENT WAVE OF
SELLING SWEEPS
COTTON EXCHANGE
Brokers Order Contracts
Sold Regardless of
Quotations.


Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, March Pinot in
months has such a selling wave swept
over the cotton market as that of
today. The close was 60 TO IS points
down.
With minds centered entirely upon
statistics and losing sight of the fact
that prices have been going up for
eleven months. speculation has con
tinued in and out OF season. Outside
buying power finally reached the
SaturatiOn point and it was suddenly
discovered that there was no demand
for actual cotton such as had pre-
vailed few weeks ago. To carry
on an advance there must be new
buying. Too many mills have su-
piled their wants for months ahead.
When speculative holders of con-
tracts tried 10 unload. the decline
started. The position began to grow
shaky the middle of the week An
avalanche of selling OF the opening
today broke May 10 20 "a cents and
July TO about 2S "A cents. Brokers
had lines of 5000 and 10000 bales TO
sell regardless of quotations. This
competition TO get rid of cotton broke
the whole market. Predictions of
clearing weather over Sunday did not
help matters and severe pressure per-
sisted on every slight upturn.
Cotton seemed to come from every
section of the country and kept up
ell the morning. May broke TO 30. 40
and July TO 2S. IL cents. October
sold at % cents before the close.
Conditions bordered on decentralization
the last few minutes with the whole
market closing at the bottom.

New York, March 24.-The decline

these were not important, consisting

The general market closed weak and

conspicuous exception in the shape OF
swift run up in Beechnut Packing.
