THE BUsINEss PH.pIs.x

The trade organs and financial papers are
bristling just now with numerous columns of
statistics respecting the business OF the year
Just closed, and TO the general looker.out for
news these articles prove "mighiy dry read
ing" The New York Public, however. has
an article that has interest outside the bust
ness ranks; it is entitled "a Year OF Gamb.
ling" and relates not to faro or 10 horse
races, but to that mean species of gambling
that wears cloak Of hypocrisy and calls its
betting business" and carries on its wagers
under the color of buying and selling mer-
chandise. The devotees of the card table
who gamble and call it gambling, are not
considered desirable associates in society,
and they are black-balled from church mem
bership. The insidious, underhaud, false
pretences gambler avoids all this by
Haluting vice with the Judas kiss of assumed
honest, open, manly trading. This article
ID the Public, and facts brought out before
the legislative committee that investigated
Corners" have exposed to the light some
facts respecting the doiDgs of the people
who gamble under a mask. In q large por-
tion of the stock transactions the buyer does
not want the property bought, and the seller
does not hold the stock he disposes of. A
broker on being desired to sell particular
stock by the shsm-business people never
thinks OF asking whether his customer hiss
the property, and he would be amazed if it
was produced for delivery. Such is the tes-
timony of the Public, and no one can know
better what it is speaking OF. 1t adds that
stocks are disposed of the seller never saw,
and they count upon being able to borrow
the securities for delivery, tho customer
taking the risk of being able to buy or
borrow them again if return of the loan
should be required. The transaction
is gambling in the price of an article; the
only thing expected is that he who bets shall
keep money enough In the brokers' hands to
meet Losses. 1t was testified before the in.
vestigating committee that, in so-called
wheat dealings, there is no property held and
no transfer asked for; the man who bets puts
up a margin to cover risks. The brokers
make no inquiry as to the merchandise, their
always is that their customer is
merely betting upon the price. Yet these
transactions are reported as sales, and affect
prices. The amount of these "sales" far
transcend the quantity OF the designated
property produced or held in the country;
80, COX, 900 bales of cotton have been cold out
Of a 5000, 900 crop. OF all the cotton con-
sracts in New York last year the
whole quantity delivered was 10000
bales, one two-hundredth part of the
quantity sold. The buyers would have
