Euiure Cotton Contracts

The following decision, rendered at
New Orleans, is of interest to the Dallas
commercial community:
S. IL. Buck e Co. VS.. ID. ". Rainwater.
This is an action involving the legality
of future cotton contract. Many OF
the eases decided are determined by the
decision of the question on whom lies
the burden OF proof. If neither party
intended delivery and both Intended
that the contract should be settled by Il
payment of the difference in price
at the date fixed for delivery, or mt any
time prior thereto, there can be no re-
covery against the defendant. Ordi-
narily the burden of proof would be on
the defendant to show that no delivery
was intended, for the law will not pre-
sumo that a solemn contract for delivery
is intended only as bet or wager on the
prices, but in the ease ut bar il would
seem that the burden of proof is justly
shifted on the plaintiffs to show com
mon declarations of an intention on the
one hand to deliver, and on the other to
receive, for the evidence in the record
shows that in previous transaction be-
tween these parties there was no deliV-
ery, but a settlement of differences long
anterior to the date fixed in the contract
for the delivery. The plaintiffs have
not shown any fact connected with the
contract sued on to induce the belize
that it was to be treated in any Other
manner than that to which their preNi
Gus contract with the defendant was
treated, id est, settled by payment o
differences.
Judgment for the defendant, will
costs, and attachment heretofore granted
dissolved and set aside.
