H, V A S ft THE SPECULATTVE EVIL. - ' Exchanges, to Exert Beneficial In fluence, Should State Exact Grade of All Future Deliveries Accumu lation of Low Grade Cotton Used to Fraudulently Depress the Mar ' ket. To the Editor of The Observer: ' The Culberson bill Just introduced In the Senate is a drastic remedy for the speculative evil carried on In the New York Cotton Exchange. If the New York Cotton Exchange and all ofner cotton exchanges would so amend their rules as to have vry one selling a contract for future de livery, through the respective cotton exchanges, state the exact grade to be delivered, and Incorporated In the contract, Just as Is done when a sale is made an individual, mill, or for ex port, based on middling cotton, so much on or off as the case might be, the exchanges could serve a legiti mate purpose, and be of Inestimable value to the farmer, mill man and cotton buyer alike. If fnls cannot be done, then the exchanges should regulate the grades to be delivered, to average middling, nothing below low middling. In this way there never could be an accumu lation of low grades of unmerchant able cotton gathered -in by a few people to depress the market? at will. As it is now, 100,000 to 200,000 bales are collected In New York of these undesirable grades, and they make the market for the balance of the crop of 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 bales each year. These low grades will deliver on the New York Cotton Exchange for about $8 per bale more than they will sell for on the open market. The result is that middling is quoted on these contracts at about $8 per bale less than It sells for on the regular cotton markets of the country. Con tracts for March are quoted to-day at 9.47, while middling is quoted at 10.90. Middling Is the basis claimed for these contracts, tinus showing that these contracts are a fraud, and not what they purport to be. With this change in the rules of the cotton ex changes, these low grades would be K v . 1 I i? ' Wk v , . - "t " J sold on their merits, and the supply and demand would regulate the price. Suppose the farmers seemingly sus tain a loss of S per bale, (and the loss would only be seemingly), by reason of these changea In the rules of the exchanges, on say, 200,000 bales each year, the loss would only be 11,100,000, while the gain on ths balance of ths crop say 12,000,000 baleo would make a difference at II per bats of 196.0 0 0,00 0, or a net gain to ths farmer of 134,400,000. Something must be done to estab lish the New York Cotton Exchange on a legitimate basis for Its existence and own welfare, and to aerv the purpose for which It was created. Ths business people and press of ths country should endorse and support Msars. Culberson, Livingston and Jordan In their efforts before Con gress to brlnr about some chsng for a legitimate transaction on the dif ferent cotton exchanges. mors es pecially ths New Tork excMang.
