The immediate victims were not
alone the speculative short sellers, but
also cotton merchants, spinners and
manufacturers who required cotton for
the ordinary and legitimate uses OF
their business
If these allegations are true. then II

treats to some extent of this, that the
prices OF cotton goods have been af-
fected and enhanced to every family
in the United states.
Holding that corner is more than
gambling transaction. the govern
ment takes the position that all corn
ers are Illegal. II holds that they are
not simply in violation of the Sherman
law but simply that they are Illegal
and always we're and tina. the common
law Of the land makes them so. The
government position Is that every cor
ner is IN fact something more than
mere gambling. even tho the motive
that induces to it "is not above the
gamblers level
1t is pointed cut that every corner
in some measure affects trade, that 1t
is, in short, restraint Of trade. and as
such is amenable to the Sherman law.

CASE AGAINST PROMOTERS OF
COTTON SQUEEZE BEFORE
SUPREME COURT SOON.
OUTCOME OF CONTEST
OF FAR.REAchlNG EFFECT
{ Government Wins, Stock and Grain
Gamblers Will Be Hard hit-Many
interests Affected by Recent Corner
Engineered by Patton and Assoei-
ateS.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Oct. 9.--lS the govern
ment Of the United States able to reach
out and prevent such speculative oper-
atoms as the famous Patten cotton
corner" the running Of which on the
New York cotton exchange In 1910
caused an upheava in the cotton mar
ket:
The question will be answered by
the supreme court of the United States
probably within a few months. The
case of the government vs.. James A.
Patten. Eugene G. Scales. Frank b.
Hayne and William p. Brown comes
before the supreme court in the Oc-
tober term and the department OF JUS
tice is making a Jealous effort TO win
it. 1t comes to the supreme court from
the circuit court for the southern dis
trict of New York. in which tribunal
the government was beaten.
Result Of Contest Important.
Solicitor General F. W. Lehman has
prepared the brief in the case and THIS
brief Is a thorough setting forth OF
the objections to such operations as
cotton corners from the viewpoint OF
the government In addition, it is an
exhaustive discussion of the law The
proceeding is an indictment in eight
counts under the Sherman law.
The nature of the proceeding is sucn
that il the government wins this fight
there is not much question that it will
m
restrain many features of stock eX-
change operation 1t is. indeed, that
out Of this proceeding may come de-
cision that will point the way to the
prevention of a large share OF what Is
generally called gambling in stocks and
gambling on the exchanges.
Hard Fight is Right
This case promises 20 be one OF the
hardest contested and one Of the most
interesting before the court the coming
cour, year. From the standpoint OF the
government. such operations az this
cotton corner are harmful. not merely to
the spectators who may &c, caught. but
20 the general public. This Is indi-
Gated in one part OF the government
brief wherein II is said that the ar.i-
fetal condition produced thru the ex-
cessive purchases Of the conspirators
has invariably created such abnormal
demand for cotton on the part of the
sellers that very excessive prices there
for have prevailed upon the New York
cotton exchange and in all other ex-
changes and cotton markets until after
settlements were made. SO that bona
fde purchasers Of cotton FOR consuInp-
ton in spinning and manufacturing
have been compelled for a time to pay
the same excessive price to obtain
cotton for their needs.

been no joint through rates in effect from
the rate from Chicago TO the Pacific ter
minals was reduced from $40 to $40,
which was the blanket rate from Chicago,
Mississippi river, and Missouri river terri
tories. Three years later came an adjust
ment with the eastern carriers, by which
'they put in from New York Pittsburg and
Detroit a $40 scale, and thus for the
year, June, 1897. to June, 1893 the SAGE scale
from all points east OF the Missouri river
obtained. This was the first blanket from
the Missouri river 20 the Atlantic seAboard.
Hitherto the rates had been graded up to
New York, the more distant point. carrying
the higher rate as 60 class traffic. How
ever. on June rs, 1898. a So scale covering
the same territory went into effect. Not
yet, however was the blanket perfect for
neither in the scale of 1897 snor In that OF
1898 were the same rates carried from points
west OF Chicago that were carried from Chi
cago and points east thereof This was
remedied, however. on January IA, 1903, six
years later. when the rates on the lower
classes from the Missouri river and the
Mississippi river were raised 10 equal those
OF Chicago. For five years this condition
continued until on January !. 1909, a further
increase in the lower classes was made,
but this time as to New York and Boston
territories, the increase being effected nv
eliminating the blanket rates as 70 ali
classes below fifth.

Evolution of Blanket system.
While the ocean has been potent in affect
ing rates, II would be idle TO say that we
know or can ascertain the degree of its
influence. In the very first place We DO
not know what rates the shippers paid. The
published rates until within very recent
years give no indication OF what the actual
rate paid was. And, furthermore. rates TO
the Pacific coast have been the subject Of
commercial forces in our railroad history.
1t may not be valueless, however. to re-
view the rise and fall Of class rates since
the year 1887 when tariffs were first
required to be filed. and TO take a glance
at the influence on commodity rates OF
the rate competition OF the immediate
past. As has already been noted, the first
tariff filed with the commission was one
which Is said to have appropriated the
actual rates which had been collected, and
this was the result OF q coming together
/ OF the carriers after a troublesome rate
war. The scale as TO FIRST class traffic
from Pittsburg. S270; Detroit, s255; Chicago,
81 40; Mississippi river. $3.50; Missouri river,
81. 10. This tariff was soon followed by an
other-that of January i6. lsss-which began
with a rate OF ~ from New York, the rate
from Chicago being ks.2s. On September J.
1883. however owing doubtless 90 this feud
between the eastern and the western car
riers which has been herein referred to
We find the q scale In effect; from Buffalo
and Pittsburg, from Toledo and Detroit
the rate, however. was &s%; Chicago $3.50;
Mississippi river $40; Missouri river. $3.50
-Four months later. January l. 1859 a rate OF
s4-A was put in, the difference between
the New York and the Chicago rate being
30 cents This set OF class rates seems to
have continued until April II, 1893, when
another rate war, as We have noted, was
begun, these rates being on the scale Of
ss.7e from New York. $40 from Chicago, 8,
from the Missouri river. But hardly were
these rates in effect when all rates east OF
Chicago were cancelled as of May IL 1883

N WILL A
FOR NEW CAPITOL

Pierre, S. D.-The state treasurer
has called in about thirty thousand
dollars of capitol building warrants,
including all issued up to September
.25th, 1910. These warrants which
are issued against the general fund,
and paid out of that fund, remain as
a charge against the capitol building
lands, and as soon as the remaining
lands can be probably placed upon
the market, the money secured from
their sale will be paid into the state
general fund. While the general
fund is at present carrying the ex-
pense of capitol improvements, the
lands will in time bring the necessary
cash to reimburse the state, and the
whole of the capitol building and inn
provements of the grounds, will be
secured for the state without a cent
of direct taxation for that purpose.
