The case is one in which it is sought to recover money lost on a speculation in cotton futures in the New York Ex change. Judge Speer overruled the demurrer.

Attorneys Oliver and Owens stated that they had not. ”1 think." continued Judge Speer, i “that it would he well for counsel on 1 both sides to consider the inquiry made by the court.
