New York, Sept 5.?The day S'
on the New York cotton exchange HC
was characterized by terrific bull; ^
speculation, a wild stampede of: *
shorts and violent fluctuations. ! ;ll
Not since the great effort made ,\{
last spring to corner the summer t,
months, which it will '
' , ~ -?-.? -jw
bered proved a disastrous failure, I
has the market been so active or j 8e
have prices advanced with equal h<
rapidity. The star was to 13 j)(
points above yesterday's closing ()
ami was entirely in response to
sharp bulge in the Liverpool mar" i,#
ket. It gradually developed that
European spinners were in des- m
perate straits for raw cotton and w
that shorts aoroad were in a precarious
condition, rendered the
more serious by inability to so
cure cotton through scarcity of t(1
freight room at southern ports.
As English market advanced the in
local contingent hammered away
at the under pinning of the shorts
who were eventually compelled to
abandon their position and retreat
without the least semblance of re*
servo. The ?aouth, Wall street V1
and Liverpool deluged the market
with buying orders and on this
support the prices advanced by
great strides, with the near months w
leaning iu the rise. The report ftr
that fully 500,000 pieces of print ^
cloths had been sold in Fall Uiver n(
and a story to the effect that
southern spot cotton holders were
refusing to do business except at 1,1
pronounced advances stimulated ^
buying for both accounts in the *
afternoon. At the close the bulls P1
were in full control tt
