SALMON. contracts to deliver are US
ual and ordinary transactions on the
Columbia. They come under the
head of futures, and have been COM
piled with. The question as to the
validity of future contracts IS one
that has been much before the courts
of late. and while the decisions upon
it have not been free from conflict, a
clear judicial view in harmony with
modern conditions seems to be gradu-
ally being worked out. The latest de-
cision in reference to the question
which we have noticed is one by
Judge Holmes, of the supreme court
of Massachusetts,, in a case IN which
the loser in a transaction involving
speculative purchases of grain and
provisions sought to avoid his obhga-
tions on the ground that the deal
ings were against public policy and
obnoxious to the laws against gam
bling. Judge Holmes decided against
this contention, holding that specula-
ton is legitimate; that parties have a
right to make contracts for the pur-
chase or sale of property for future
delivery, with the understanding that
the property may be resold before the
day appointed for the delivery, and
that such transactions do not contra
travene the policy of the law. The
Judge in his opinion recognized the
extent to which speculation enters as
a motive power into modern CONNER
cial transactions, a consideration
which clearly should be kept in view
when the question of public policy is
being passed upon. OF course it goes
without saying that the principles
laid down by Judge Holmes do not
apply to transactions where no deliv-
cry is contemplated ON either side,
and which amount merely to wagers
on the rise or fall of prices and that
they do apply to such transactions as
the Columbia river salmon contracts,
which are made in good faith and
usually rendered necessary by the ex-
isting order of affairs.
