4 ene SULY'S COTTON BOOM EXPLODED Prices Drop 70 Points Here and $5.45 a Bale in New Orleans ’ After Publication of the Gov- ernment Report. ‘The Sully cotton boom exploded to- day when the Census Bureau report of the cotton ginned from the crop of 1903 was made public. The report howed that more cotton was ginned up to Jan. 16, 1904, than Daniel J. Sully has estimated was raised during the 193 season, and with- in five minutes prices fell off from 60 to 70 points. Everybody wanted to let Ko, and although Sully had prepared for the slump qnd had his brokers all over the pit ready to take atl the cotton of- fered, they were swamped from the start. The bear leaders, jubilant at the con- frmation of their estimate of the crop, went Into the fray with a whoop, and Bold cotton until they were incapable of further action. They went at the Bully forces in relays. It was a long time before the effects of the Sully buying were felt. Sully’s Estimate of Crop. Bully's estimate of the 1903 crop was 8,353,000 bal It 1s upon this estimate succeeded in maintaining @n era of high prices, running the com- ~modity at one time up to 18 cents a pound. Theodore Price, the expert estl- muter of the cotton situation for the bears, has been estimating all along that the census report would show at Teast 9,700,000 bales ginned. The report was made public at noon. It showed that up to Jan. 16 the bales ginned numbered 9,859,277 Square bales, 9, (480; Sea Island crop, 72,907. Orleans showed a more pro- nounced decline than New York, With- in six minutes after the Census Bureau Teport was posted there the prices of all options dropped an erage of 109 points, equivalent to a loss of $5.45 a dale. Half an hour after the initial slump the Sully policy of buying all that was Offered began to show results. Sellers held off for bids and an advance of about 2% points was scored by the bulls. This advance was held firm for some time, but it is regarded by the bears @s purely artificial They assert that trading hereafter will be based solely upon the supply and that prices a: bound to go lower, “i ia Excitement on Cotton Exchange. The exoitement on the Cotton Ex- change immediately following the post- ing of the report was as intense as any that has cropped out during the remark- able bull campaign. Atthough Sully was assailed from all sides he did not lose his head, nor did he appear to |4™ be worrled over the situation. Standing to ono side of the pit, with a mob of brokers and messenger boys aroupd him, he gave his orders like shots from a rapid-fire gun, When he thought he had Che the situation fairly well in hand he repaired to a nearby cafe and refreshed himself, From the opening at 10 o'clock until 2 the posting of the report at noon the market was dead, Everybody was wait- ing for the Census Bureau bulletin, But there was enough business done in the | 1 half hour following the news from Washington to make up for the inaction in the morning. ——_ GOVERNMENT’S REPORT ON GINNED COTTON.

Americans Cl Steady with the List After a Flat Opening. LONDON, Feb, 9.—Far Eastern affairs affected the rates for money and dis- counts to-day, ‘Trading on the Stock Exchange opened flat, but there was a general, fair recovery later. Ordinary business was practically dormant, the attention of operatorsbeing absorbed by the Settlement, In which the difter- ences are very heavy in consequence of the outbreak of hostilities in the Far East, though the Stock Exchange was evidently better prepared for eventual- ities than the Continental Bourses, which were panicky, At the close prices were fairly stea though business was rather unsettled. Consols were considerably weaker at first, but hardened later and closed at 86 5-8 for money and 86 3-4 for the ae- count. Home Rails reflected the general trend.

A buoyant market followed the first hattle between Russia and Japan to- day. The news that Japan had dam- aged Russia ships was received wtih Joy In the financial district. One would have thought that an American ship had been engaged In battle and had de- Stroyed her enemy. Stocks on receipt of the news began to move upward and continued all day ,a slight reaction in the final dealings being the only check in thet advance. The cloang was near the highest of the session with trading rather dull, Pennsylvania, which yesterday was one of tho weakest issues on tho list, to-day was one of the strongest. The Announcement that Kuhne, Loeb & Co, had placed the whole $50,000,000 of notes of the company had an excellent effect, | as it showed that there was plenty of | cash seeking investment in safe quart- ers, The Steel issues were also very strong.

Sniffen a broker of No. 70 Wall street, who was indicted yes- terday on four counts by the Federal Grand Jury, was arrested to-day by Detective McConville, of the District-| Attorney's office, charged with grand | larceny by Samuel F, Walker, Prest- dent of the International Mining and | Springville Electrical Power and Con- struction Company, of Bozeman, Mont. | Mr. Walker .ts one of a number of Western men who have come here to press complaints against Sniffen. They ay that he posed as a man able to float the stock and bonds of mining companies and has taken large fees for work he has never done. In this case Mr, Walker says that he gave Sniffen $1,281. to flont the stock of the In ternational and Springville Company of. Hniffen will be arraigned before Mng-| fatrate Pool in the Tombs Court later in the day. His attorney is ex-Justice Jullus Mayer. G00 late the demand for steel structural forms helped the issue. It was prob- ably the strongest o nthe list. Canadian Pacific acted well and trad- ers think that the Berlin stock had all been sold, at least such as was weakly held. The good surplus shown by the company efter the payment of dividends created a favorable impres- sion, Amalgamated Copper was bid up on the local shorts but did not act so well after these had covered. It was, hawe- ever, considered that the stock waa good for another advance, and the local trade interests were still bullish. The Granger sall acted well during the day. The outlook for business is ex- cellent and this had more effect upon these issues than the temporary effect of war news.

J. “For five years I had been growing more and more feeble. I was weak, run down and nerv- ous, Suffered with pain in my back and side constantly and was unable to obtain any relief what- ever, It seemed as if my cup of trouble was alre. iy full when I was overtaken by catarrhal bron- chitis and for five weeks was con- fined to my bed. oN seemed to help me and I was in deepest despair when a neighbor advised me to try Mucu- Tone. From the first dose I ex- perienced relief. I succeeded in breaking up the attack completely within twenty-four hours, and at the end of a week I felt like a new woman. Today I am in perfect health; something I have not known for years. I therefore feel safe in advising all women |who are netvous and brokeg down to buy a bottle df Rexall.

Has anyone ever told you what it means to feel restless?—flighty? —unsettled?—unable to concen- trate yourself on your work?—aun- able to find pleasure or satisfaction in anything? ™ Or have you ever (pcs careful thought to it yourself? Well, sooner or later you will be broken down, weax, dizzy— thoroughly tired of living. The meaning ia that some part of your system has been attacked by catarrh. One after another the organs become deranged; the liver and kidneys are no longer able to purify the blood and the heart be- comes affected. Then the stomach loses its power to properly digest food. Sleeplessness, nervousness, melancholy and despair follow. You grow weak, emaciated, hag- gard. You have painsin the back, under the shoulder-blades and bearing down pains in the lower abdomen. And probably through {t all you have been told that you are merely run down and need a tonic. RIKER’S DRUG STORE 6TH AVE. AND 23D ST. OUR NEW YORK AGENTS: HEGEMAN & CO.
