Cotton
Washington, Feb. 4.—The committee
authorised by the house last week to
Investigate exchanges dealing In fu
tures in cotton may gala infonnalkiA -
from a' report made In the Fifty-third
congress when tha senate > committee
on agriculture and forestry mads aa
investigation which answers the pur-
pose of the resolution of Representa
tives Livingston and Burleson.
That Investigation covered the con
dition of the cotton growers In tha
United Htates In 1412, the price of
cotton then obtaining and tha remedy, '
It was an exhaustive Investigation.
Afttr a brief treatment ot the effect of
the law of supply and demand oa tba
price of cotton, the report of tha com
mutes goes at great length Into tbs
effect - or Tiituru (JU Ihuee pik.ee. -?
conclusions redched throw consldtrabte
light on the field to be covered tn
the eomlng Investigation.
“Futures Is another causa which has
contributed to the low price of cotton,*
says the report. "A great deal of valu
able testimony has been taken on this
point. While there Is a difference be- *
tween commercial men as to the effect .
of these dealings, yat we think tba
arguments advanced by those wbo op
pose these dealings catry the greater
weight and are entitled to our appro
bation.
Reeeives Poor Quality.
“The fact that those transactions are
based on a certain grade of cotton as
a basis for fixing the price- only, and
TbiirthF - ratter. may- deliver aa, of
about 26 or 11 grades and bait grades-
and of any staple at hla option con
clusively shows that no man who wants
real cotton, actually to be delivered,
avor buys In these transactions. Tba -
fact also remains Utat In New - Turk
alone, which receives annually of actual
cotton less than IOO.MO bales for all
purposes, salsa of futures take place to
tho amount of more than 40.oeo.oee of
baits annually, conclusively showing
that the party railing does not contem
plate that he will be called on to make
delivery.
"In addition, It la shown, and ts
claimed aa a merit, that Inferior and
unsalable cotton Is shipped to New
York, so as tn constitute a very large
proportion of the actual recetpls,. for
the express purpose ot being used Mr
the buyer (ram demanding drill
This Is conflrtnitlon. If any were need
ed. of the mythical and unreal chariMS-' '
ter of these transactions. A consider-:

to be actually made. As thus de

Hss Absolute Fewer.
'As to the Interference, both MM
agree, as well ox thow who favor and
thoxe who condemn these dealings. Tha
former Insist that they sometimes
raise, and usually maintain with more
regularity, the price of cotton; the Ut. ,
ter claim they depress It. Whtthsr thg |
one contention be true or the other, It •
equally an Interference with thU;
commerce. The legitimate Uw of the
trade moans that the price of an tuft-
ole shall be regulated and fixed by
the law of supply and demand.
•In the first place, let It he noted
that only In and through and under
the reflations ot ths two cotton ex
changes In New York and New Or
leans can this business ha Iran sorted.
The cotton exchange at New York ta
corporation under the laws of that
state; It Is composed of Ma than- 60S
members, and the number caimot be
Increased beyond that number. The In
itiation fee is tlO.ODO and the new
members are elected by the old. No
man can deal directly In futures unless
he Is a member. Ths corporation haa
absolute power over the deal tags Att
disputes and controversies are rattled
by a court, established by the corpo
ration Itseif, In what la called arbitra
tion proceedings. Neither party la 41;
lowed to call In a federal or. ataM
court.

such wealth that It Is claimed In a
published letter of a member'made
n response to arguments made on tha
finor of thla body that the exchange
can absolutely riomnate and fix prices
■s against all others by flooding the
market with offers of an unlimited
supply of futures when at other places
prices are In Its opinion too hlght and
thus break Ihe market; and. on the
other hand, when It consMcre prices
too bow at other placet, may buy all
that can be offered."
