TO DISCUSS THE RULE.
Cotton Exchange Meeting Called to

Discuss Forfeiture Question.
A general meeting of che Cotton Ex-
change has been called for next Saturday
at noon, when the matter of enforcing or
repeating the rule requiring forfeiture
of q cents for all bales received other
than the 24-by-54 standard will be con-
sidered. The early notice given OF the
meeting will doubtless insure full at
tendance, so that the rule may be dis
cussed from all standpoints.
While there is a decided sentiment fav-
oring the repeal of the rule, a few op-
pose this course as a step backward. 1t
is not understood the minority hope for
anything further than making known
their reason for the enforcement, and of
emphasizing the importance of taking
the matter up in determined way after
the limit of suspension expires. Few of
the trade have attacked the rule merits of
the rule. They do not believe this an OPP
perfume time 10 enforce it.
By This time il has doubtless become
generally known throughout the country
that che rule viii not be enforced, SO
that 1t does not amount 10 anything one
way or the other. In fact, the brokers
have disregarded the rule by selling cot

70 be broken to the heart. They are re-
ducing year by year, and none of the
figures of surplus to be paid at the end
OF the period are as large now as a few
years ego. 1t IS poor judgment to go into
business with any one for twenty years,
allow them to handle all the funds reg

and accept their word as final at the end
of the period as to how much or how lit

do when you take a "Tontine" or de

wealth of Massachusetts has enacted
laws which prohibit its companies from
doing a tontine business. When the ar

the bewildering array of figures is dwelt
upon to induce the edmiration of the un-
initiated, look for the liabilities. Many
a company with smaller assets is just
as strong, has just as many dollars of as

Indication of strength Remember that
