A Fair Impartial Statement of
the Workings of the Cot
ton Future Contracts.
In the Chronicle of June 14, discus-
in" a judicial decision rendered in
Alabama with regard to dealings iu
merchandise where the actual deliverer
'>f the merchandise contracted lor is
i o t contemplated until a future
day, we incidentally stated the fact
that contracts of lliat character has
become an important feature m mod
ern commerce, aud were of benefit to
producer 1 . Our space at that time
did not allow us to give that full dis
cussion to the subject which it de
mands, and we therefore welcome the
article of the Daily Sun, of Columbus
Ga , June 24, to which our attention
has been called as leading to a more
careful explanation of cur position.
All trading—that is buying anti sel
ling of commercial commodities for a
profit—necessarily partakes of more or
less risk incident upon fluctuations in
ptice of the article dealt in, aud chau-
;cs in the relation of supply and de
mand, production and consumption.
The old-time merchant filled his ship
with a cargo and sent her to foreign
parts where it was sold and a return
cargo bought aud brought back for
sale in the home market. The rouud
voyage often occupied one or more
years. The man of sagaeity, forecast
and thorough knowledge of the trade in
winch he was engaged was generally
successful, while ill-planned and ill-
managed ventures were as generally
disastrous; this usual result was often
changed by some misfortune of luck*
turn iu affairs that could not have
been foreseen. The mote limited
Irnnsictions of the later times, those
which include only the export or the
import of a sfngle’articlc, or common
mercantile transactions cf the home
trade embracing a stock for only thiee
or six mouths at retail or wholesale,
all involve the same elements of risk
during the period between the pur
chase aud the sale.
Since the introduction of the tele
graph an I quick means of transporta
tion these risks ol fluctuation have
been reduced to the minimum. Sure
of replenishing at any time on short
notice, the distributing dealer takes
" liter stocks, leaving the heavier
risks upon Ihe producer, or the inter
vening wholesale dealer. A merchant
iu Calcutta has advice of yesterday’s
market in New York, lie takes up a
ship, buys her cargo of llaxsecd, gun-
nvoags, jute, indigo, Ac., of which he
telegraphs to his correspondent in
New York or Boston, and such part
of it as carries a satisfactory profit hr
sold for arrival before it is laden on
board the ship, the hovers carrying
the risk of fluctuations (luring the voy
age. unless they sooner rc-scll to other
parties. If the cargo has been bought
hi the home market for consumption
the flaxseed for an oil mill, and the
other fTr'icles lor those who want them
iu tiieir usual trade, these parties in
turn will proceed to contract the sale
ot their several productions, upon the
certainty as to cost of their raw mate
rial. The merchant at New Orleans
having bought, and iu process of shi]>-
meut, 1,000 bales of cotton in expecta
tion of a profit upon or soon afier its
arrival at Liverpool, receives advices
of a satisfactory price or becomes ap
prehensive of a disastrous decline in
either case telegraphs to his factor at
Liverpool to sell the cotton to arrive
to secure the profits or to avoid the
loss.
Again, the cotton spinner at Lanca
shire or iu Rhode Island has an oppor
tunity to contract for many months’
production of his whole mill at an as
sured thougii small prQllt, if he can se
cure the raw cotton to cover if. His
cash capital is too small for so large a
supply and it would both strain his
•rodit aud enhance his pride to buy
upon credit; besides there is a shrink
age in weight of cotton hales stored
lor some months, and there is a cost
of insurance, interest and stor
applies to a cotton dealer or importer
who agrees to furnisli him 200 bales
per month of the rcoui&ite quality at a
price somewhat higher indeed than
the spot price at the moment, yet low
enough to leave the profits he was
anxious to secure, and he contracts for
it ton.
Yet again a commission house iu
ew York or Ratoon has large cun-
gnmeiits of cotton from Southern
and planters, who have shipped under
the usual expectation of an advance
in the market price, but the price has
declined, instead, and is unsatisfactory.
Tim market is over supplied for the
lime, but the factor. Ills ooiistltuouis.
aud the public believe that prices will
advance later, or when the stock shall
t>c reduced. Reeausu of this belief
for the latter months are higher

to one party in every case, and in the
line oTd regular and piudcnt business
to that one. the other party, ns, for
instance, the party who contract to
sell property wjiich he does not at the
time possess, is assuming a purely
speculative risk, heyuinl that of legiti
mate trade. It is speculative, indeed
as is all buying aud selling for profit;
but it is no more so nudisef ilie
same naiure ns the contract ot a build
er to supply the materials aud erect
an edifice when he is not yet the owner
of any of the materials, nor expects to
be until they shall be required
or can be obtained at best advan
tage. Nor properly restraiisd
within the bounds of prudent e aud fl:e
means of the operator to make good,
is it any more speculative or l>oqily
adventurous than have been the aver
age business enteqirise of merchants
since the ships of lyre traded with the
land of Opbir.
The rule of right, privelegc and lim
itations of produce and meaus for safe
conduct apply equally to buytr and
seller on these contracts. As in old
mercantile ventures, so iu these, suc
cess will geuerallj- attend upon sagac
ity and forecast ot the elements deter
mining the future course ot prices, but
now theie must be also a quickness of
perception and action suited to the
days of the telegraph and tlic steam
transport.
And yet, notwithstanding these ad
vantages arisiug from contract sales,
no ouc should ignore the abuses of this
new commercial jHiweronc of winch
is speculative sales by plauteis. With
some there is an ever present tempta
tion to assume risks, to the manage
ment of winch the brains, the capital
and the experience of the templed are
insufficient. A briiliaut success in one
line of operations by a few persons who
saw and profited bv the opportunity
leads many others' to follow in the
same line after the chance lor profits
has gone by. Gaiu u ithout toil is, and
always has been, tempting. Rut the
difference between these sptdilations
upon contracts aud those upon tulips
South Sea shares, cotton or ten, iu old
times, is in the increased facility for
those of to day and the consequent
greater degree ir which the> arc fol
lowed. Iu due time their danger will
be taught by the experience of fre
quent disaster and by vlie discovery
Hint they are not chance- hazards
equal to all, but require either special
aptitude or Iraiuiug for them, or
both.
A still greater abuse of this system
is that borrowed trom the stock ex
change, that of combination for a
ners. This is the real ban of the
tract system- Given a period of low
supply to the article which is the sub
ject of a'contcst, a combination of suf
ficient strength may quietly buy
most of the slock and become lon<j
the market to an extent rendering
impossible for a time that the sellers
can deliver the property called for by
the contracts. Tile shorts must then
pay the prices dictated on which to set
tle their defaults. This mav bo done
just ns well in defiance of all the laws
d demand in the markets ofllie world
and iu contempt of prices elsewhere
ruling for the same article as when in
entire conformity with those laivs. As
between the two* j allies to the specu
lation, it may be a fair game; for we
suppose either would ble» d the other—
although, be it remembered, the regu
lar dealers and factors holding a •por
tion of the stock iu market of the cor
nered article ate always on the side
of high pi ices, thus- putting the other
or bear side at a chronic disadvan
tage- Rut these corners in articles 6f
general necessity and use are hurt
ful to all interests, whether nearly or
remotely connected with the trade in
or consumption of these articii s. Reg
ular trade is for some time destroyed.
Manulacturing imluslry is checked o:*
made unprofitable. Commerce is iu-
terruptcu, and to some degree the
whole mnehiuevy ot business is thrown
out of gear. The general loss to tho
business interests of the country is
many times more the sum of the cor
ner, however successfully carried out.

Fashionable Saratoga — Dia

Lady who introduced the
Grecian Bend, Still iu

The correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Jourupl writes up the styles
at Saratoga as. follows:
Our lady readers will he interested
iu.the extract which we give! The
correspondent says:
This is a good place now to men
tion styles. Tlie hair is no longer
worn on the head—of course not.
These fashions came in with the cool
weather last autumn, and after expo
sing the head to the cold all winter,
now that it is summer auil would be
very comfortable to wear the hair high
it i« brought down to the nape of the
lieC i a ** wonl libitum—frizzed,
curled, braided or puffed, hut never
large and standing out from the head.
Reeanse it is uncomfortable, though
dreadfully becoming, high ruils are
worn not only of loco ami nmolin, but
ot the same material as the dress out
side of the friil. 1 he niffs is very high
at the baek, and tapers under the chin.
A few years ago, after the summer
was j*a»t and the damp chill of autumn
succeeded warm weather, fashion de
creed that very high neck-drcsscs were
not tureen that tlie dress must be cut
down in front aud broad white sailor
collars should be worn. IIow perfect

forrn ihe seasons! decollate have (liv
appeared entirely, many women and
children wearing high neck and long
sleeves. Very few high Spanish combs
are worn. Relt buckles are worn at
the back instead of the front of the
waist. I have not seen an organdy
muslin here. Very few white dresses
are worn. The polonaise is the one
universal garment worn. It is seen
iu black lace, which is a costly affair
three hundred dollars being asked for
the lowest pi iced. They are also seen in
mce, price one huudred and fifty dol
lars. It no longer requires a small
fortune to keep ouc iu gloves at Sara
toga for they are seldom worn, even in
dancing. Ladies aud gentlemen
equally ignore them. With ladies it

gloves. Roth cnlinot be Morn at the

Putting ir Mildly.—A Minneso
ta correspondent tells the following: I
have picked up a little story which 1
think too good a reproof for disturbers
of the peace in churches to l>c lost. A
presiding elder of the United Brethren
Church was preaching iu the same
neighborhood, ami was much anuoved
by persons talking nud laughing. ’He
paused, looked at the disturbers, ami
said: “I am always afraid to reprove
those who misbehave in church. In
the early part of my ministry I made
n great mistake. As l was preaching,
a young man who sat just before nie
was laughing, talking, ami making un
couth grimaces.
•- U I puu ed and administered a severe
rebuke. After the close of the service,
of the official members came ami
said to me, ‘Brother , you made
a great mistake. That young man
whom you reproved is au idiot.’—
Since then 1 have always been afraid
to reprove those who misbehave in
church, lest I should repeat that#aud
reprove another idiot.” During the
rest of that service, at least, there was
good order.
The Postoflice Department informs
the ‘public that postal cards cannot he
sent at the ordinary rate when written
over the side intended for the address.
A person may compress Webster’s un
abridged on the oilier side, if it lies
within his power to do so. and it goes
for a cent; but a single word outlie
address side subjects tho card to three
cents postage. There may be noth
ing in the law to justify this decis
ion, but the Postmaster General de
termines upon rules and regulations
for the government of the postal de
partment without refcxcncc to law.

A student, a bald headed man, and
a barber were traveling together.—
Night coming on, they agreed to take
turns in watching while the others
slept. The barber had to watcli dur
ing the tir^t l our, and was to wake up
tho student as the one next. While
the barber was guarding the slumbers
of the other two men. he nmuped him
self by shaving off the hair from the
student’s head. When tho operation
was over, the student awoke, and, fuel
ing of his bare pate, cried out: “What
made you wake up the bald-headed
an? It’s the student's turn next.”
Newspapers.-—Dr. Johnson, when
i the fullness of years aud know ledge,
ud: “I never take up a newspaper
ithout finding something I would
have deemed it a loss not to have
cn: never without deriving from it
struction and amusement.” The
newspapers in Johnsou'ft lime
meager enough compared with those
of u>-day. Now a yearly newspaper
volume is a perfect encyclopedia of
knowledge ou all sorts of subjects.
