He established a cotton house of his own last year under the name of Daniel J. Sully & Co., but when his operation in cotton became so suc- cessful, the cotton market having been pushed up above 17 cents a pound early this year, he widened the scope of his firm's business, bought a seat on the New York Stock Ex- change, went into the office business, bought a membership on the Chicago Board of Trade and. it was said. made connections with other prominent ex- changes throughout the country.

News of Sully’'s Failure Causes New Orleans Brokers Uneasiness. NEW ORLEANS, March 18.—The ouncement of the failure of Dan’el ¥ & Co. created a panic to-day on the floor of the New Orleans Cotton | Exchange. Prices melted away until they were $9 and $10 a bale lower thar ¥'s close. When the panic w the commercial in- tegrity of the local cotton trade was found intact, although scores of small | operators were wiped out and heavy longs had lost fortunes. Prices mbled 10 and 20 points at a time il the selling continued. Coats , hats smashed, chairs and xb ut the ring were demolished. the roar from the ring that it could be heard for blocks. The ring had the appearance of being the object of an attack of about 200 men, who nged over one another to get nearer the small pit that is in the| center of it. It was not until the brokers found their books well clear of long cotton that they paused and allowed the tumult to subside. At 1:30 o'clock the panicky feeling has passed to some extent and brokers | were unable to extricate themselves | from the ring and find out just what | the situation was. They found prices | $9 and $10 a bale lower than vester- | day’s closing. When it was found that no local prices showed a wonderful recovery. | At the close the tone was steady and May showed a recovery of 13 points, | while July had recovered 29 points. | —_— | London Editors Pleased. | LONDON, March 19.—The morning | papers editorially express satisfaction with the suspension of Daniel J.

The deceased was 94 years old when he died in Tillamook City last Monday morn- ing, and during that time he had ex- periences that would fill volumes more interesting and startling than the yel- lowest of the yellow back novels. Horace Holden was' born in Hills- boro, Vt., July 21, 1810, his parents be- ing farmers of moderate means. The father died when the son was a mere boy, leaving the lad to support a fam- ily of children. He struggled with the problem manfully until. at the age o 21 years, his health failed him and he | decided to go to sea, signing as a sailor age to the Indian Ocean.

Meanwhile the Building Trades Council announces that its members are pre- pared to do work for citizens on houses from roof to cellar, and it is claimed that they are securing all the materials they need from outside sources. In- deed, while the local supply houses are under agreement not to furnish ma- | terials to others than employers con- | nected with the Builders’ Association,} the locked-out artisans appear abie to secure materi from several houses.
