TURKISH MINISTER
EXPECTS TO BE
RECALLED
WASHINGTON—That Mehmed All
Bey, the Turkish minister to the
United States, who. It is reported,
has been recalled by the new minis
try, Is the victim of a powerful en
emy close to the sultan, is the opin
ion of many of his countrymen In
this city. The minister himself has
not yet received official notice of his
recall, but admitted that he Is con
templating a return to Constantinople
within a short time.
A meeting was held last evening
at the legation, 1810 Calvert street,
at which a protest was made by a
score of Syrians against the recall
of Mehmed All, whose appointment
pleased the subjects of the sultan in
this country. The minister is a Sy
rian, the first to be appointed to such
a post of honor, and now that he is
to be recalled they feel that it is a
blow at Syria.

Jesse Livermore is Master
of Situation ami Prices
May Go Much Higher in
a Short Time.
A fair-haired, beardless man of 31,
says The World, younger looking by
ten years than the age which he ae
knowledges, who sits in the back
room of a Wall street brokerage
house and issues orders to a score of
busy clerks a gently modulated
voice, has possessed himself of ev
ery bale of cotton not under contract
In the warehouses of Qreater New
York, and Is smilingly watching the
painful contortions of a group of griz
zled bears on the New York cotton
exchange. These bears have sold 1,-
000,000 of cotton for October delivery,
while the entire visible supply In the
vicinity of this town Is only 39,000
bales, the warehouse receipts for all
of which repose safely in the strong
box of this newest Napoleon of spec
ulation.
Such a situation has never before
been known in the history of the lo
cal cotton market, but that it exists
Theodore n. Price and all the veteran
operators in the cotton trade admit
ted yesterday. In many respects It
Is the most remarkable corner ever
attempted, existing as it does, in the
face of globing prospects for an abun
dant cotton crop. This unique condi
tion is the handiwork of Jesse L.
Livermore, a Wall street lamb, who
first saw the light of day in Shrews
bury, Mass., in 1877, and who has
built up a fortune of millions from
an original bank roll” of $3.12.
The Time for Action.
“I had been on a vacation down
South and when I came back 1 found
everybody extremely bearish. The
mills were running on half time;:
there was very tittle demand for cot
ton In Europe;, the textile trade was
siagnnnt. and business generally was
depressed. There had been, however,
a long period of liquidation, I found
that the trade was practically sold
ott of cotton. Supplies were exhaust
ed and every business man was afraid
to buy anything because of the gene
ral gloom ,n financial affairs. The
pendulum had swung to its lowest
point.
"Suddenly one firm began to buy
moderately: the other houses, know
ing that, in order to compete, they
must acquire their raw material at
equal levels, began putting In their
orders. Demand suddenly sprang up
everywhere. Copper has been ad
vancing an eighth of a cent a pound
a day, the market is flooded with
orders and the copper stocks are soar
ing. The textile trade has begun to
improve. The mills must soon begin
to lay In their supplies. Bye and bye
one fellow will begin buying just a
little, then others will follow. A tre
mendous revival In the industry is in
evitable.
' .Meantime the cotton shorts have i
| sold thousands of bales which they .
do not ow n and cannot deliver. They !
have reckoned on the new planter in
| the South. He has finally learned
; his lesson. He is in a position to!
! demand his own price The Farmers';
i union has taken an oath not to sell!
i a bale of cotton less than ten cents j
a pound at the primary market. The j
{spinners must buy ihe New York I
"Pilous to hedge against their pur
| chases In the South.
A Rsmarkshle Situation.
"The speculators musi go South to
, buy their cotton for New York deiiv
I erv at a cost of $7 to pi a bale more
than the prevailing New Y'ork price.
1 That is the situation today and ft is j
{ one of the most remarkable that c.ver |
existed Cotton hs bound to soar, and
I the rise has already begun This ex
I plains my position in the market at
jibe present time Just how high the
' price will go 1 don't know. Nobody
