BROWN Leader of Bulls in Cotton Talks Freely of Conditions to Journal Representative on Saturday "I am more bullish for .cotton than ever, and I firmly expect to see the price reach 20 cents or better before the season is over." So said W. P. Brown, the New Orleans cotton king, who passed through thia city on his way home from New York latg Saturday- afternoon. Mr.. Brown made this assertion regarding the pros pect for high cotton while talking to a group of personal friends, railroad of ficials and newspaper representatives. W. P. Brown has been the recognized leader of the bulls in the exciting cotton campaign which has been seething in New York during th* past month or more, and his utterances are worthy of the greatest Interest and attention. When he alighted from the Southern train at the Terminal station he seemed in the best of health, and talked read ily for publication. HIGH COTTON CERTAIN. "Yon may say,” he said, "that I am going home lo attend the Mardi Gras. That I am a firm believer in high cotton prices, and that I think that cotton will go to 20 cents if not higher." "What do you base your prediction! upon?" was asked. "Upon hard common sense," was the reply. "The demand is greater than the supply. A few days ago the government published Its report, showing that the, crop amounts to about 10,500,000, or 1.000,- 000 below the required amount. That simply means that prices must, in the very nature of things, go up." In speaking of the recent break in cot ton. which came as a bolt from the blue, carrying with it to a ruinous crash so many fortunes. Mr. Brown was ex tremely reticent. “What do you think caused the sud den break?” was asked. "It was due to perfectly logical and natural causes," said the cotton king, “the long interests were so large that liquidation assumed a panicky form when it finally started." "Do you think that there was any manipulation for speculative purposes?" no Manipulation. "Most certainly not,” w-as the quick reply. "I do not care to discuss even the possibility of that, however. I am a member of both exchanges, and I do not feel tnat I have the right to say anything on this subject, especially for publication." Mr. Brown stated that he could not say anything of the so-called "cotton clique” that is bulling the price of the staple so systematically and persistently. "I might be one o* them myself, you know." he said laughing. "Do you know if any Atlanta men ar* Interested In or associated with the bull movement?" was the next question. "I am sorry," said the cotton king, "but I cannot say about that. You would do better to ask them." "There is one thing 1 want you to bo careful to do," continued Mr. Brown, speaking earnestly to The Journal re porter, "I want you to refrain from any absurd levity in quoting me. The crippled, limping lightness and halting attempts at humor with which the New York papers attempt to handle eotton news is as disgusting as it Is silly. BKLTEVEB IN ATLANTA. "I have no objection to being quoted, but I dislike to be placed in the attitude of buffoonery that seems to be the sole aim of so many newspapers. "I am an admirer of Atlanta, and bet lleve she has a great future. Her people are sane. safe, progressive and wide awake, and their city will not suffer therefrom. There are many gentlemen here who are my personal friends, and I predict success for them and their thriving city. "Just say that cotton is going to see beteer price* than it has yet reached, and that I am still a bull, a firm believer in the future of the market. This is the south's chance and she will grasp IL That is all there is to lt|" VENUS’ FADES.

Further delay will be occasioned by the fact that there were some imperfections In the petition, and the commission re turned it that it might be put in proper form for consideration. The commission will not order its advertisement till it is | in that form. > / Before reaching any decision in this matter, lhe railroad commision will give thorough consideration to every phase of it. It has been stated by some of the officials that double trackage and other improvements are imminently necessary. The plan contemplated by the petition for stock increase would leave funds for none of this improvement. Under that plan, agreed upon at a re cent meeting of the stockholders, the ad ditional stock will .be sold to the present stockholders at pat, though Atlanta and West Point stock is said to be worth between 160 and 170 on the market. The •proceeds of the sale will be used to re-, tire outstanding debentures of the road.
