What Is a Bucket Shop2

Does the bucket shop differ from the
stock and produce exchangesH ? That
question comes up occasionally in tue
city governments. Is bucket shop
purely gambling concern The
Standard Dictionary, the latest author
ity, says it is IAN office where people
NAV gamble in fractional lots of stocks,
grain or other things which are bought
and sold on the exchanges. The bucket
shop IL ca the terms and out ward forms
of the Exchanges, but differs from the
Exchanges in that there is no delivery
and no intention t. deliver 'r receive
securities or comm ~dities said to be
sold or purchased"
In the bucket shop it is pure and
simple betting on the rise end fall Of
prices. For instance, if one believes
that cotton will close higher in the
afternoon than it opened in the morn
ing, he will pominally buy any NUNS
Der of bales he wishes. If the price
goes up he gets the excess over the
opening price. If it goes down. he has
to ray the difference in to the shop.
On the Cotton Exchanges it is agreed
that the cotton shall be delivered if
the demand is made. But the settle
ments are always, or nearly always,
made in money. In neither case is the
money for the whole purchase ever
paid. in the Exchanges the margin is
required t. be kept up. One might
carry hundred bales Of cotton for
several months by paying 1926 ; pro-
vided be was on the winning 81 e. If on
the losing side he has to advance a dol
lar bale every time there is an
advance of twenty points against him,
The same principle APPLIES to grain
aud stocks

TilIman's Populistic Views.

The Washington Times makes tie
following reference to the populistic
inclination of Senator Tillman:
The bills introduced in the Senate
SO far by the populist m mbers are
considerably in advacce Of those of
last session. Allen, of Nebraska, who
is looked upon as the ablest man of
this party in the Senate, has several
bills which co"tain good ideas and,
shorn of some OF the populistic features,
might stand some chance of becoming
laws.
1T is said that the Southern popu-
lists are far more radical in their views
than those Of the West and some very
fieakish measures may be looked for
from M. w. Howard of Alabama, in
