No officlal record of the transacticns was Kept, but con- servative estimates placed the aggregate of tae day’s dealings at_considerably above the mil- lion bele mark. From the start to the finish of this most extraordinary session there ome enormous outpour of long cotton, supple- mented by the most aggressive conduct on the part of the bears, who added largely to their short interest. While the e primary cause of the decline might be trac to the brilllant character of the crop advices from the cotton belt they immediate reason for to-day's col- lapse was the tremenddus selling for the a count ot a banking firm originally very suc- cessful on the long side of the account and for months quoted as the leading factor in the ups and downs of the market. This concern, Price, McCormick & Co., falled to-day. The announcement of their inability to respond to calls for margins reached the exchange at 12:37 p. m. and immediately the market became a vortex of excitement. This firm had for months dictated the price of cotton the world over, mm‘umg"w directed clhlfiflyl louthe ‘;n:ler positions and more especially to May and Au- gust. To-day May contracts broke 78 points— they sold down to 8.48c. This was a decline of 120 points from the high water mark. August broke to 8.35c, a decline of 125 points from the best prices current when the firm that falleq to-day appeared to be in absolute control of the mu'ket.l T;ne d:‘clh;: ton %}ner positions was generaily 10 to 43 points. There were ru- Tors pointing to other suspensions. The close was at tho lowest. i Chicago Livestock Market. .
