Cotton Falls in Bear Sweep at Livermore Led Pool
Wild trading swept the cotton market as the bear pool led by J. L. Livermore forced a sharp drop in October options by about 3 a bale. The group reportedly liquidated at least 200,000 bales with Livermore alone credited for 8,000. Other pool members Theodore H. Price and Joseph A. Patten faced combined losses near 300,000, totaling about 500,000 for the day. A large part of the decline came from rains easing drought fears and weak trade reports, with August cash cotton slumping from 20.10 to about 9.50.
