EVILS OF COTTON SPECULATION

1.-The pernIciOus aspect of the scpeula-
ton in cotton 'optionsslies in the tenn
pora1y disturbance in the market for
legitimate buying for consumption by
our own mills and for export to supply
mills abroad. This cannot last long,
but it interferes with calculations and
introduces factor of uncertainty in
the cost of an important raw material
of manufacture. In a sense this strife
of spectators serves to establish the
legitimate level of prices. The calcu-
lations of the ''bulls'' upon the supply
In sight and to come in sight in its re-
lation to the demand, whereby they
look for profitable advances, are pitted
against those of the clears" who do
not believe such advance will come,
and In the struggle of those who seek
to make the price what they wish it to
be the legitimate level is found. The
direct losses and gains are distributed
among the spectators, and when their
efforts are confined to dealing with the
facts of the situation as they develop
in the normal movements of the mar
ket no harm is done to anybody else.
1t is the effort to control the market by
cornering the supply or misrepresent-
ing the demand that causes disturbance
In which others are concerned, and
which the exchanges should seek to
prevent SO far as possible. The posi-
billty of violent speculation in the cot
ton supply is one of the reason for the
effort in Europe to find new sources
outside of the United States. New

AN oPPoRTUNITY MIssED.

Kansas people seize an opportunity
with much alacrity. but they miss one
occasionally with equal facility.
Judge Hook missed one the other day.
When he became impressed recently
with the view that the Kansas Mutual
Life Insurance company was not econ
omically and wisely managed. he put
the officers, with alleged extravagant
expense accounts and salaries, out of
business, and put other officers, receiv-
ers, in charge.
These men, three of them, Cole, Le-
land and Hooker. with the start the
attorneys gave them ran the business.
They appeared to run it well. They
held Office five months and two of them
time for other work which they vigor-
ously prosecuted.
The court, when the affairs were
ready to be turned over to the succeed
ing insurance company, said to the re-
ceivers, We'll done, faithful men. here's
five thousand each for you" and to the
legal firm which pushed the button and
started the receivership, here's ten
thousand for you"
The court simply followed a precedent
established by other courts in similar
and many instances and running over
years of records, named liberal fees, and
confirmed the general opinion, that re-
ceiverships however necessary like sur.
gical operations. are severe while they
last and carry big expense accounts.
The court missed an opportunity for
establishing new record a lower scale
of prices and great public approval.
