The New York Cotton Exchange,
through its Appeal Committee, has
rendered a remarkable decision in
a a S which arose under the rules
governing delivery of cotton on
contract. 1t appears that Frank
B. Hayne received a thousand bales
from McFadden Bros, who were
short" of a certain month, of
which Mr.. Hayne was "lOng."
The receiver, desiring to ship the
cotton abroad, presented the re-
ceipts and was informed that the
lot had been tied up by an injunc-
ton issued by a competent court
in connection with Knight Yancey
~imbroglio. Mr.. Hayne thereupon
made demand on McFadden Bros.
for return of some SO, 900 which
had been paid the latter against
delivery of the receipts, but this
demand was refused on the ground
that delivery of warehouse receipts
and certificates of grade was final,
under the rules, In the end, this
particular problem solved itself,
for the cotton was released by the
court; but this fact does not effect
the principle at issue, nor narrower
the reach of the Appeal Commit
tees Judgment which upheld the
view of the McFaddens.
Some years ago, the manager of
a Chicago elevator sold the grain
against which he had issued receipts
and lost the proceedings in specu-
lations. The receipts were conse-
quently so much waste paper. Will
it be c~ontented that, if a similar
state of things had existed in the
New York case, McFadden Bros.
would have owed Mr.. Hayne nei-
Their the cash, nor the cotton? If
this question be answered in the
affirmative, then it would seem to
follow that a debt may be paid by
rendering a worthless cheque. On
the contrary, the average man
would think that the nOnpayment
of a cheque revived the debt for
which it was given and he would,
by parity OF reasoning, conclude
that the receiver of cotton on O
tract has a valid claim On the seller,
if he cannot get the goods when the
warehouse-receipt is presented. So
far as we see, the ruling of
New York Cotton Exchange sets a
most dangerous precedent and the
ruling is all the more to be de
! plOred, because it may lead to dis
astrOus complications in the flu
ture. There are hazards enough
in the markets, without adding
possibillit of this sort. 1t should,
we think, be settled that a con
tract for future delivery must be
satisfied by a tender of the actual
goods, or of a document On which
the goods can be got without fail.
The whole cotton trade has been
upset by bogus bills of lading and
the chaos will be complete, if the
integrity of contracts be also left
in doubt. Democrat.

1t may be all right to take about Is
and 20 cents a pound from the new
crop but it is doubtful if
will be willing to pay that basis for
their cotton goods. They are refusing
to do it now. More reasonable bulls
are beginning to think that there is a
limit to what may be called the legit-
mate price of cotton. What the world
wants to see this coming season is
spindles turning, it doesn't want to see
mills shutting down and shipping their
supplies of spots to speculative centers.
Such a state of affairs spells demorali-
cation.

Jays the states:
The situation in West Texas is
said to be hopeless; Georgia and
the Carolinas appear to be in
worse shape than ever the bulls
have been thinking and Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkan-
sas will do well to make as much
cotton as they did last year.
What there is in this to warrant
short sales of cotton is a mystery.

Zach Wheat Tells Secret Of His
Great Batting.
HIT SPHERE IN THE EYE.
5rookIyn's crack OuthsIder and Star
Hitter Says Stick Wisdsr Should
Always Keep Eye on Ball the Mo-
ment II Leaves Twirlsr's Hands.

[copyright, 1910. by American Press Asso-
ciationI
What is thc secret or my batting?
Why, Just hitting The bali Ia the eye.
or course the first essential is tc
have good eye and use it, TO some
ball players batting comes natural: 10
others constant practice makes them
feared BY pitchers. Ever since broke
into professional baseball have been
very successful IN connecting with the
ball az the proper moment ln fact,
since joining the Brooklyn team and
becoming major Lacquer | have been
more successful than in the smaller
circuits. My hope IS that / will be
able to lead the National league in hit
ting al the end OF the season
Ny advice to aspiring ball players is
10 keep a close eye on the ball from
the time 1t leaves the twirlers hand
until 1t connects with the bat. Let
your eye follow it up to the instant it
connects with your club, II it does
not connect yon will know the reason
why. Many batters just keep their
eye Oh the ball for about half way to
the plate; then they guess where 1t
ought 10 go and bang away at the
ball possibly with their eyes shut
The ball may not have gone where the
batter guessed. 1t is ninety-ninc
chances out Of hundred that the BAT
terwilI miss or foul it of in this man
ner
Another thing. the man who watches
the ball win not get hit often when at
the bat. He can see where the ball Is
coming II it is straight at him he
can easily see ii. III 1t is a fast bail
and coming close and be has not the
time 10 step out he can turn his back
and take the chance Of its hitting
where there is plenty Of flesh to pro
tect bone. | seldom hit down or up
on a bali unless ! do it purposely. II
II is a drop ball | start my bat low
and hit on d straight line That is the
reason why batter can slam so many
hard ones over the pitchers box which
get away fIom the second baseman
and shortstop. II takes a mighty good
pitcher to intercept one Of these hard
drives. and he takes chances Of being
put out Of business for the rest of the
season.
IL is hard matter to train a player
TO watch the ball. 1t takes lots OF
time, practice and study before one
becomes nm adept That Is one reason
given for the large number OF weak hit
ting pitchers in the big leagues. A twirl-
er imagines he knows what is coming.
He aims for an outshoot and gets
drop and misses il by mile Hc
starts with the ball all right. but be.
fore It is halfway to his bat he takes
his eve or the ball and sets for guess
and misses
have seen pitchers shut their eyes
as soon as they were satisfied the ball
was coming near the plate and then
bang away, missing by feet instead of
by inches. It is seldom i miss ball
completely. and then it is usually be,
cause | hit too hard and triHe too
quick on drop.
