WASHINGTON
Solomon S. Cone Denounces Bill Men
as "Pesslmists" and Falls to
Give Out Much Real
Information
ASSOCIATED Pressl

wv ASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Defend-
w ing the cotton exchanges as
w gatherers of true information
that is disseminated by thousands OF
brokers TO every one interested, Solo
mon Napoleon Cone of Greensboro, N.
c.. attacked the proposed anti-option
bill in the hearing before the house
committee on agriculture today.
Mr.. Cone described himself as spot
cotton dealer, a stoekholder in various
mills, a member "of all the cotton ex-
changes of the world" and the handler
of more than s4,OOO,OOO worth of spot
cotton annually.
Mr.. Cone said that mis- practice as a
large dealer is to sell more heavily
when the market is going up and TO
buy more heavily when the market Is
going down; that that unusual practice
was based on pure speculation, not on
luck or chance.
Il do not defend gambling" he ex-
planned. Il am an old bachelor; some
of you others are married, but I have
never even taken that chance. / think
this whole matter before the commit
tee is matter of ethics and one for
the preachers to deal with.
ut was common report recently,
suggested Chairman Scott, that Mr..
Patten of Chicago came down to New
York and picked up $5,000,000 out of
the cotton market. If that is true,
who paid for that proft?"
Much of that money was lost IN
both a legitimate and an illegitimate
way. as commerce runs" answered Mr..
Cone evasively.
Doesn't Tell Why
''Why is it that such a boon to the
cotton trade as a future market" in
quired Mr.. Scott, has not been evolved
in the iron business, newspaper prop
erty business, hay and other lines Of
Industry"
Mr.. Cone did not furnish much in
formation on this point, but said he
believed he would make more money
If the exchanges were abolished, al
though he did not favor any such step.
He characterized the mill men as the
worst lot of pessimists ever saw"
Mr.. Cone said the commission gen.
orally paid on cotton transactions is
S15 per 100 bales, though, because of his
large business, he got one-half the
brokers' commission.
There are, 1 believe about 100000 900
bales of cotton dealt in annually by
the New York cotton exchange" sug-
gested Mr.. Scott.
Before Mr.. Cone could reply Mr.. Mel
Vile explained with some feeling:
with all due Difference to this COM
mittee, 1 consider it a matter of esti-
mate. and there is no way of getting
at the figures"
The chairman dropped the subject
for the present, his purpose being to
show the radical difference between the
transactions on change and the actual
number of bales.
