1892. in New York alone, during the sale
OF 21,i41 bales of spot cotton. the New
York exchange sold SO5l 100 fictitious bales
of futures at prices lower than the spot
market, and that during the year OF 1892
the New York exchange reports show that
$4,000 900 fictitious bales Of futures" were
sold In New York alone and that such
transactions We're illustrative of the roweS
of market gambling to ruin the cotton mar
ket.
Mr.. Pitts declared ttat while diversifi-
cation was good, it was limited by the
farmers ability to sell great diversity
OF products. He contended that diversifi-
cation could not relieve them from the
haneful effects of gambling in futures and
that IL any other crors had the World
Niue market OF COTTON the same system
could ruin ii as well as cotton.
The entire address was a strong plea to
producers to stand for the most stringent
legislation against market gambling, on
The ground that ii was against public pol
icy, interfered with the equilibrium of
trade, frustrated he law of supply and de-
mand and was the greatest outrage upon
the public and private rights of the pro-.
ducing classes ever contrived by set OF
public punderers.
