Equity in Leases.


"Oil and gas leases stand upon
quite different grounds from leases of
other movable property. The govern
ing principle in gas or oil leases is
the discovery and production of gas
or oil and is condition precedent to
the existence and continuance of any
vested estate in the demised premises.
Where the only consideration is pros
peclive royalties to arise from explor.
alton and development, failure to
promptly explore and develope the
demised premises renders the agree
ment nudum pactum, and works a
forfeiture of the lease, for il is of the
essence of such a lease that the work
ct exploration shall be commenced
and prosecuted with prcmptness.
The smaller the tract Of land
granted, the more imperative is the
need of prompt exploration and de
velopment, because the lessor is en-.
titled TO his royalties as promptly as
1t can be had, and the delay endang-
ers the drainage of the oi! and gas
from his premises through wells in
the immediate vicinity. Leases of
coal, stone and other like materials
are corporeal, and constitute an ess.
entail part Of the land itself, and are
eapible of present, absolute grant,
while oil and gas are of fugitive
ana volatile nature, a grant of either
of which creates only an inchoat e
right, which will become absolute
only upon its reduction of possession.
A lease of a mine for oil or gas is
mere incorporated right to be exer.
clsed in the land Of another. 1t is a
profit prendre-t0 be taken Which
may be held separate and apart from
the possession Of the land itself -.
Where, except for an expressed con
slderation OF 81. the lessee gave no
consideration TOR the lease, nor was
bolnd by any enforceable promise or
covenant, for The breach of which the
lessor would have right of action to
compel the payment or yealding of
any further consideration, having
merely right To portion of oil
when it has been produced and saved
and actually transported, such lease
Is without consideration, aud must be
held void, as being unfair, inequit.

Cotton Letter
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New York, Nov 1O-After Saturday s
temporary advance, We were treated to
another break in the cotton market this
morning and once more obliged to report
lew low levels all along the line. March
proved the weakest when the break came,
selling down to Sc early and then to
z "a. January cotton sold at S07 as COM
pared with SIG, the low point last week.
There was once more an attempt to hold
the market by purchases of May, but
this did little good. 1t was the January
that did the trick today. A sharp break
in the stock market helped unsettle cot
ton and it looked very much as though the
January people had all they could do to
look after what cotton they had. TO say
nothing Of trying to hold the price by
buying more. During the early afternoon
January sold at sos. May to SOP The
market begins to look better. On every
break in January that lessons the pre-
MUM. If we could be confident that the
January people had been forced to sell
a good share of their cotton, we would
advise buying with more confidence This
is tho one menacing factor now. 1t is
carrying prices lower than one could nat
urally expect, just as we pointed out last
week If January continues to come on
the market. prices will go lower. But
cotton should be bought now on breaks.
Profits should be taken on advances, how
ever, as the market will be unsettled
and irregular at best. If the market
breaks in the morning, we would buy
for reaction.

tCpGCidl " NGWS anu OpSGLNGl.J
New York, Nov 10.-A continuance Of
the unsettled condition affecting security
values here was reflected in the cot
ton market of today by heavy liquida-
tiOn of long contracts and also weaker
cables in consequence. The weather was
favorable, receipts somewhat heavier and
these were also depressing influences.
Many account for the increased move
ment especially at the ports, by the fact
that at recent decline in prices there is
a better demand for spot cotton and con-
sequently a larger movement is inevita-
HE. However, many conservative cotton
traders firmly believe that as soon az
the present offerings of spot cotton arc
absorbed there will be a hardening ten
dency in the Southern spot markets.
As our market has declined to Q parity
with Southern markets, purchases upon
this depression seem TO be in line with
conservatism and should prove profitable
i'll the immediate future. The closing tone
of the market was firm at a fair reaction
in prices from the lowest point reached.

New York, Nov. 10.-Today's stock
market absorbed a heavy lot of liquida-
ton and worked off a lot of excited
sentiment. AS net result the closing
tone of the market was quiet and steady
with many wide breaks in values conf
pletely restored and many of them re-
duced. The days business ran over a
million shares for the first time in many
weeks, and there we're times, during the
first precipitate decline, when the mar
ket was furiously active. The motives
for selling were mostly of d general
character, such as have been at work for
some time toward crystalizlng senti-
ment that prices were too high and
credits too greatly expanded for finan-
cial health. Saturdays sharp drop III

New York, Nov. 10.-The market has

unchanged. Print cloths dull and wide

is beginning to tell on sellers for forward
contracts.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Nov. 10.-Cotton market
opened quiet at unchanged prices to
decline of points and became very ac-
tive, while much unsettled. Most of the
session, the feeling was very weak At
tho lowest point, prices showed loss of
Is to 10 points, but just before the close
there was partial rally, with the mar
ket finally steady at net decline of ii
to Is points The early weakness fol-
lowed disappointing cables the English
market netting a decline of points on
spot prices, and 3 to 4 points on the
future list, ignoring our advance of 4 to
s points, made on Saturday. At the same
time the market was unfavorably In
fluenced by the decentralization in Wall
Street Many Wall Street people were
long of cotton and sold out to take care
of their securities. Commission houses
also were active sellers; in fact the
selling movement was quite general and
largely on Southern orders. The South
ern spot markets were generally easier;
four of the leading points reported de-
cline of anywhere from Lis to %. The
rest reported no change in prices, but
generally an easier feeling. The local
market for spot cotton closed quiet at
4 points decline. The markets have
shown less decline than the future list.
