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.
