Boots and Shoes,
In the actual purchase of grain or
cotton which the seller undertakes
to deliver at a certain price on a
distant future day, where the trans
action is in good faith and ends in an
actual delivery, there is nothing in
trinsically wrong or in itself deleteri
ous to legitimate commerce If such
a transaction is made public, the
publication can do no ham? to other
bonafide dealers or to producers.
The transaction is a reality and comes
within the circle of upright dealing.
No one is damaged, because no one
is deceived. The producer, the
middlemen and (he holder may each
derive actual benefit from knowing

transactions of an entiretv different
familiar to those who aro conversant
with the business of stockjobbing and
dealing in fancy shares, and needs
explanation only to thosv who do
not understand this species of gam

chase and sale, but in reality a wager
n9 to what the market price of a
certain article will ho on a future
day. A purchase of “fuiures ” in
New York divested of its fictions
amounts to and signifies about this:
A, of the first pert, says to B, an
other broker, “ I will give yon twelve
cents per pound for five hundred
hales of cotton, strict low middling,
delivered here between the 4 l^t ami
5th of December next.”

money as a guarantee of fidelity or
indemnity against loss. B, (he seller,
has no cotton, probably never owr.ee
a bale, and has no intention to dc
liver the piotnised five hundred bal
or any part of it. A, the buyer, in
like manner neither desires nor ex
pects a delivery of the cotton. In
foot he has no use for it whatever,
having neither vessels to load nor
orders to fill and expecting none. If
at the time of delivery the market
price is above twelve. cents, lie only
expects B to pay him the difference;
if it is less than that price he will pay
the difference to B. Thns what fig
ures in commercial sports as a pur
chase and sale of cotton for future
delivery is actually only a bet be
tween two speculators as to what
cotton will bo worth on a certain day.
Transactions apparently Involving
coantless ship toads of cotton are
thus made and settled among specu
lators without the actual handling of
a single tale.”—N. O. Picayune.
