HAMMER BRIGADE ENTERED MARKET Orleans, Auk. 4.—The Tlmca Demo crat says: The rediscovery of n commonly known fact stampeded the cotton market put n big club In the hands of'the bears, sent the price down for n net los of about 30 points on the active options nnd broke the deadlock apparently effectively. The cottou crop Is doing well. Everybody knpw tbnt. What they did not know was that much of the long Interest In the foil posi tions held nt New York, and which had been doing service ns a sustaining Influ ence. had been sold out beforp yesterday, knowledge of which brought tho hammer brigade Into tho game with old-tlmn seal. The bureau crop condition figure Indicating only fractional depredation during July Is convincing evidence. If such were needed, of*nn excellence in yield prospects that Is not often excelled, though It by no means proves up glut In raw cotton supplies for another yenr. However, the mills have llttlo to fenr. Tho speculative outlook meanwhile has rhnnged immensely, A sharp decline was needed nnd n further decline now will probably crente n short Interest large enough to give zest nnd real tone to the market Inter on.
