(COTTON CROSSES {CENT MARK (jBull Leader Sully Keeps His Word and Forces May Option to High Notch, While Shorts _. Glamor to Buy. \ ‘Cotton to-day passed the eleven-cent _ mark jong expected by the confident ‘ull operators in the local exchange. ‘Whatever doubt may have existed in the minds of the shorts regarding o corner in the May option was settled to-day when the price of that delivery ®oared fifteen points to 11.01, the high- ‘est figure in ten years, on thelr at- tempts to cover. ‘The July option, soured an advan ting in sympathy, of four points, Teaching the highest resord in three “ years for that month at 10.20, and the entire list sqored gains of four to fif- teen points, was in an uproar, or- sell being shouted from all parts of the room. The pit was €rowded to suffocation and the floor was Mied ‘with excited traders who were try- ing to protect their Intere: Sally Delibera ‘Three or four of the prominent oper- ators alone were calm and deliberate in théir movements. One of these was Deniel J. Sully, who had predicted the big jump in the nearby options. ‘The bull clique sold in small quanti- ut 10,000 to 20,000 bales only tremendous profit without any risk of causing a marked > decline in the quotations, ‘The shorts wanted over 200,000 bales in order to make good their deliveries ‘this month and, realizing that they have but @ short time left in which to buy the cotton, they bid recklessly, fearing the price would get beyond their reach. !!ng of Mexican Everything favored the bulls in their menipulation of the market. The last reports from the eastern cotton belt were unfayorable, showing coneiderable damage to the growing crops from drought. The roads in the South are stil impassable in parta, and the re- eeipts at the Interior pofnts and at tho Bouthern ports were consequently very Nght. Longs Stop Short. The Liverpool market showed large gains and in New Orleans a equeere of the shorts in July similar to that In the local market in the present month de- Mvery forced the prices of the former option almost to the level of May in STOCKS DROP ON RUSSIA'S MOVE. Declines the Rule in the Market, Warlike Preparations in Man- churia Checking Trading and Sending the List Down. ‘The news that Russia is engaged tn_ ective warllke preparations !n Man- chutia, together with the indifferent tone displayod in the London closing prices, adde to the sagging tenilency of stocks in the market here to-day and before the clowe declines wer the rule rather than the exception. The whole market | was apathetic and listless and the early | actwity was entirely Jost ‘The publication of the known move- ments of money for the week, although foreshadowing a favorable bank state- ment to-morrow, failed to have a stimu- lating inuence on the trading. The banks have gained $3,281,300 since Inst Friday, of which nearly a million came from the Sub-Treasury, which was debtor at the Clearing-Houe to-day for $1,488, 446, Rock Island remained fairly steady at a loss of one per cent. ang San Francisco made up a part of its early decline, selling at 79 during the Iate dealings, a loss of one and one-half points. The bellet that the deal may turn out ‘to be only a traffic agreement Was still prevalent in the absence of any official statement to the contrary. BBogy & Hubbard sold 10,000 shares of Rock Ialand for a Western interest, which was thought to be long of this seourity. The excellent annual statement of the Mexican Central Road helped the price somewhat, but the heaviest buy- National was in the Preferred stock, and was mostly by traders, who are sald to be rather close to the management. The, Weak tone of American Sugar Waa due to the reduction of the pce of refined Sugar 4 the Trust and its competitors, and the easter feoung in Colorado Fuel and Iron and ‘Tennessee Coal and Iron waa attributable to the weaker pig (ron market. United States Steel was also easier on the reported falling off in the volume of business In the vartoua steel com- panies, ' The stocks which are usually known as inactive Issues exhibited expectal weakness during the late dealings, showing exceptional losses for no par- “cular reason other than lack of. in- forest. Some difficulty was found in this city. On the releasing of a particularly large lot of May cotton by the bulls * the price of that option dropped two .--~.points, to 10.99, nut quickly rallied again to 11 cents on the refusal of the longs 0 expose any more large amounts. Bear Leader Price Out. The bears are practically without a leader, Theodore H. Price, who was their general in many a sensational move, belng quite out of the market. ‘He is seen on the ExcHange, but not in the drove of frantic shorts who are fighting to get enough cotton to fill their orders, It ja paid that he sold out al! of his May holdings and has little in the other options, Exactly how he stands, nobody seems to know, and he will not tell. market quotations about noon were: May, 11.00; July, 10.20; .86; Beptember, 9.08; October, 8. vember, 8.67, and December, 8.66. ‘feading quieted in the afternoon and prices eased off on realizing by tne bulls, the closing quotations being: May, 40.92; July, 10.18; August, 9.82; Septem- 9,06; October, 8.73; November, $.64, ard December, 9.65.

In New York Miss Randall was placed under the skill of Dr. George D. Barney, who {s now at No. 16 East Forty-fifth street. The physician diagnosed her disease as tuberculosis of the second stage. He was asked yesterday about the case of Miss Randall. He replied, after having been told that the singer gave him credit for her recovery: “That is very kind of Miss Randall, but it does not relieve me of pro- fessional obligations toward my pa- tlent. Anything furthtr about her case will have to come frorf her.” “But surely you will not object to making your treatment public?” “No,” replied the physician; “that 1s at the service of the profession and the public, The treatment, which lasts from three to fifteen minutes, as the case may require, 1s as follows: “The patient is comfortably seated in a cabinet and caused to inhale a powerful vapor deep into the lungs, where it reached the diseased parts hercle bacillus, or germ of consump- tion. “Under the influence of this remeay the lungs heal, the tubercle bacilll dle and are thrown off through the natu- ral channels, and the body is gradu- ally restored to its normal condition. “The distinguishing feature of the treatment consists of the vapor, which {s made after a formula discov- ered by myself.
