WASHINGTON LETTER.


Charges have been filed with
Postmaster General Cortelyou
against the New York Cotton
Exchange by Harvie Jordan and
other members of the Cotton
Growers Association who claim
that the New York Exchange
has degenerated from a legiti-
mate business institution into a
plain gambling concern and that
it no longer has any right to
make use of the mails for the
transaction of it's business. This
! is a very serious charge and
means a great deal both to the
cotton exchange and the cotton
growing interests of the south.
1t is alleged that the Exchange
instead of dealing in legitimate
cotton futures handles a grade
of cotton which cannot possibly
be spun, and which is fit only for
making horse collars, cheap mat
tresses and things of that sort.
1t is claimed that out of the g..
900. 900 bales of last years cotton
crop only 10000 bales of actual
spot cotton was placed on the
New York Exchange. 1t is
claimed that the prices quoted
on the Exchange range from S.
to $3.50 less per bale than the
real market price for cotton in
the south, and that the whole
system of trading or gambling
on the Exchange is hurtful to the
legitimate cotton business. 1t is
asked that Postofice Inspectors
be appointed to probe the charges
of fraud, and that on their report
will depend whether or not the
New York Exchange is excluded
from using the mails.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has plunged into an in
vestigation of the block signal
system now in use on the prin-
|cipal railroads in the United
