[Copyright 1589 Dy James Gordon Bennett. | LivERroow, Sept |New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee.|—~The cotton corner crash came to day, and when the { orisis came it fell like o thundervolt upon all, Lespecially upon Stecnstrand’s friends and supporters, for the result was not what they pected. The result was an utter collapse of the cornor, and although doubtless many | brokers have lost hoavily, the cottoa king has not come out with flying colors. It yet renmining to be seen how ne will be affected The opeming of the market was awuited vith groat anxiety and the excitement of the srowd on ‘change has not been equalled fnce the time of the ,groat Mor- ris Ranger cottoa corner in 1881, For some days the rumors about settling had been of a varied and somewhat exaggerated uture, and therefore the opening of the market was looked forwatd to with intense } nterest, not only in Liverpool but in Man- | hester and throughout the cotton manufac- | uring district. Among those present were 1ome of the largest cotton speculators in the vorld, representatives of the groat manufac- . uring firms of Lancashire, agents of Amer- can oxporters, and representatives of conti- tental houses, all more or less interested in’ ho cotton ring. There were numerous con- {cting rumors flying about. Some said that Stecnstrand was only a figurehead acting Lot on behalf of himself, but of { werful syndicates, who formed the corner §id hieted cthat it could stand uny amount ( mm-.-; 1g, and, let the market go as it A" ifht, thoy could not lose much, having edged 1A Vor HTRELS 0L FR oL LHS ElokiBe ot JTEHET MO SVava/e Ot Hora “WSF SitFs loomy.

About ten minutes to 12 e'clock the crowd | of merchants, brokers and others began to move in the direction of the cotton asso ation rooms, The excitement was intense. There was more jostling and bustle than thero is to be found at exciting clection gath- erings, snd the shouting put the betting ring in the shado, f'rom this time on the market continued to drop, and when the first chimo of 12 was heard from the town hall clock a loud hur- rah was raised by the erowd, several shout- ing, “The corner has been broken.” Much speculation exists as to the reasons I8 which induced Steenstrand to make no at- tempt to check tho falling market. The general belief was that he would be a heavy buyer and that Saturday’s closing price would have boen largely exceeded. He, how- ever, held entirely aloof, and the consequeuce vas that the price, instead of rising, fell, Many think that in the end he will benefit by this step. Itis now generally believed that the short-time movewment will not be carricd into effect, but the spiuners, who, with their operatives, were determined to resist auy “attempt to raise the staple to an abnorn price-agill, after the turn events have taken, buy from Steenstrand, who, if he has not cloared so large a profit as might have ¢ime 4, tohim had he forced the market, has at any rate reduced the risk of failure.

Stoux Faits, 8. D, Sept. 80.—[Spocial Telegram to Tue Bre.|—To-morrow will come the most important election ever held in Dakota. The state of South Dakota will vote on & constitution and a full state legislative and congressional ticket. Both parties have tickets m the fleld, but the democrats have little hope of succoss, save here and there in some legislative district: Tho chief interest during the campaign has centered in the contest over prohibition and the capital location. For the latter Sioux Falla, Huron, Pierro, Watertown, Mitebell, Chamberlain ana Redfleld have contested, but the last two have recently withdrawn. Each town claims a victory, but there is no data upon which to speculate withjany degree of cortainty, The chief interest of the campaign has been on the prohibition ques- tion, For the first time in the history of the country a new state has had a chance to vote on constitutional liguer trafic. As a large part of the population of South Dukota has ¢omo from Towa, Wisconsin ana Minnesoty the temperance sentiment, is_strong and the indications point to a_prohibition victory. Still, during the vast fow days, liquor men who have been quict during the campaign have been having more to sav. Many have claimed the would ~ win. For several days vague rumors have been afloat that the Sioux Falis regietry list had been padded in the interest of the whisky men. Rival capital aspirants huve been making energetic use of the statement that Sioux Falls had registered over five thousand votes und that she in- tended to override the sentiment of the state for the capital and to go against prohibition. Many of the best men of the vity have in- vostigated the affair and i€ doveloped that while last year Sioux Falls polied 1,800 votes and that while the population has increased 40 per centthe rogistry lists ngeregate over six thousand names, More than this it de- veloped that under the different aiphabetical lotters from ten to twenty oames aro found on il the lists, This indicated a gigantic re- peating soheme, and it is disclosed that there are a large number of professional repeaters in the city. The whisky mon denounce the insinuation that they wstigated 1t, and de- ciare that the probibitionists themsclves ave the guilty ones. The mayor has appointed a committee of citizens to guard the purity of the ballot box. Both sides are determined. oment runs high_and the hottest tion ever known in Sioux Falls is an- ticipated.

D., Sept. 80.—[Spevial Tele- gram to Tie Bek.)-~The first campaign in the history of North Dakota closes to-night with torchlight processions and monstor rallies at Fargo, Grand Forks, Wahpeion and numerous other points. Both republi- cans and democrats are giving the campign a brilliant finale, and all are anxiously awaiting the result at the polls to-mor- vow. That the republicans will carry the state there 15 no doubt, it is simply a question of the sizo of the major- ity. Some place it at 10,000 and othe at 8000, The full republican state _ticket will be elected, and the logistature will be largel, republicat. It is estimated thatof the ninety- two members of the legislature at least twenty-five will be democratic. ‘The fighton prohivition is earncst aud vigorous, and the Sdrys? will be defeated. It is ostimated that there will bo 40,000 votes polled and that of these there will be a majority of at least 5,000 agaiust probibition. The United States senators to bo elected will unques- tionubly be republican unless the Norwegians and farmors’ alliunce men push some candi date and combine with the democrats, ‘Ihe clection of ex-Governor Gilbert A. Pierce to the United States senate is considered o certainty, but the other fortunate is beyond prediction at this time, Montana is claimed by both parties, with tho indications slightly in favor of the demo- ts, As to the situation in Washinaton, a dis- pateh from Tacoma says the fight between the two parties has been largely waged on the tariff issue, with the passage of the con- stitution, the state capital question and the adoption'of u prohibitory and woman’s suf- rage piank coming in as side issues. The republicans prophecy the election of their entire ticket with majorities ranging any- where between 5,000 and 10,000, The democrats coneede tne election " of Terry for governor, and of Wilson for'congressman, but claim a division of the suprome court judgeships.
