The Demoralization Was Great- i er Today Than at Any Time Since Stir Began Two Days Ago, ALL OPTIONS SOLD DOWN AS MUCH AS $3 PER BALE Liverpool Weak One Operator Said to Have Turned Loose a Million Bales in Early Hour. New York, Jan. 12. There was a renewal of the bull panic in the cotton market today, accompanied by even greater demoralization than was noted in the previous breaks. l.iquldati.r began In Liverpool and was continued on a tremendous scale in the local market, with March cotton selling down to 14.87, May to 11.04. July 15.05. or 4: to 46 points under closing prices last night, and from $! to " per bale below the recent high record. Holders I'nsettled. it is believed the recent sensational fluctuations have unsettled holders on very large lines of contracts, and one big Southern operator was credited with having liquidated fully 1,000,000 bales during the first hour's trading. It is rumored in local circles that a western bull clique liquidated its hold ing lust week, causing a break of about one cent a pound, but that the hold ings of one of the southern bull cliques came on the market on recovery, fol lowing publication of the census re port on Monday, and that liquidation of this morning represented the en tire holdings of another of the large bull interests. Not Folftnwiiig Decline. SiuilJt;T0 yjlyU;!'. are almost unnn-. Utnous4ii dunning that interior holders of cotton are hot following the decline, hut it is believed that spinners have been frightened out of the market by recant speculative developments, ' and today there was practically no support until the price broke through 16 cents for March, when one of the big New Orleans traders entered the ring, with a bid for 40, 00 bales of that delivery. There was only a slight rally, how ever, and the market showed little improvement. MARKET IX NF.W ORLEANS liltOKK BADLY AT OPKNING Then Recovered Somewhat. But Again Yielded to the Battering r tho Boars. New Orleans, Jan. 12. Owing to the failure of Liverpool to respond to the ndvance In American markets yes terday afternoon, there was another sensational decline In prices of cotton of the local exchange this morning. Initial prices being 46 and 47 points lower than the close yesterday on old crop positions, or a loss of about 12.50 per bale. May was the weakest month, showing heavy liquidation by longs. Following the opening decline there was a recovery of 23 to 25 points, followed by another easing off period. Before noon the bears hammered j the March option down to 14.77, a net loss of about $3.50 per bale. Ru- mor from New York In-came current i that a well known speculator, prom I Inently identified with the bull mc f , mi nt, had ordered his brokers to un load. The Worst Yet. Kvnry little bulge seemed to bring out increased offerings from panic stricken holders. New Orleans bulls soon abandoned efforts to support prices, and excited as the market pre viously had been, the bull panic de. velopod its most sensational phases during the middle of tho day. Prices which bad rallied about f 1 per bale from the early low point broke to new low records for the movement, under a fresh rush of cotton from all di rections, with March selling at 14. 0 and May and July at 14.78, about 13. 50 to 13.60 per bale below thn closing figures last night. Brokers Bearing It, Well. Tremendous as the losses suffered by bull speculators during the past two weeks had been, there was ab solutely no suggestion of financial dlf- Acuity among local commission houses, and the fact that brokers had been calling on their customers from margins of $10 or more per bale. Is said to have placed the trade In I very sound position financially. Chicago, Jun. 12 The departure of Miss Roberta DeJanon, the Philadel phia heiress, and Frederick Cohen, thf v waiter with whom she eloped, has bee i' postponed until tomorrow 'iJtK The desire of Miss De Jannn's rvue tlves to avoid a sensation reception of the elopers upon their arrival at the home city la believed to he the reason for the delay. .1
