Attorney Generals Reply.
Office of Attorney General,

Washington, D. c., Nov. s, 1911.
The Hon. Wyatt Aiken, NJ. c., Abbe-
vile, South Carolina-My Dear Sir: I
have your favor of 31st ultimo. I
quite agree with you on the general
proposition that, if cornering pre-
duct which is dealt in in interstate
eommercef for the purpose of increas-
ing it's price, is illegal, similar cor
nering for the purpose of depressing
its price is likeWse illegal. The forma-
ton of corner for the increasing
the price is easily understood. A num-
ber of men get together, and by their
combined means or credit, buy up
enough of the commodity to control
the market, withhold it from sale un-
til the demand for it forces the price
to the point at which they are willing
to let it go, and thereby impose upon
the manufacturer, who must use the
product, the burden OF an artificial
price.
It is not so clear by what process
<sbear pool' is organized or conducted,
and | have no evidence in this depart
ment of a tangible character which
enables me to form the opinion that
any DESIGNATED individuals have COM
bined to depress the price of cotton
below it's normal figure. Moreover, it
is not quite clear in my mind how
such s'bear pool' can operate to
restrain interstate commerce. l sup
pose the method by which such COM
bination would operate would be to
throw upon the market at a given
time quantity of commodity in ex-
cess of the demand which would result
in it's being taken only at prices which
the purchasers thought would enable
them to resell at profit.
I don't at all know what the prac-
tice is among the cotton growers in
your State, for instance, respecting
the sale of their product. When I last
had occasion to. examine the question,
which was few years ago, the crop
was pretty generally sold to the cotton
factors before it was p&ked, the price
being based upon the prevailing price
of the previous year, and Increased or
decreased according to the ratio be-
tween the crop produced in the coun-
try the preceding year and the estl-
mated crop of the current year.
Generally speaking, take it that
the "oulls and bears" are the brokers
who, on the cotton exchange, at a CIV

en- time, are seeking to Increase and
depress prices respectively. The
bears" are trying to beat down the
prices in order to buy at a lower
figure, and the bulls" are trying to
run prices up in order to sell at
higher figure.
The interests Of the spinners would
be, generally, with the ''bears, and me
interests of the factors, or cotton deal
ers be with the "bulls." a "bear'
movement would be initiated if, for
example, concerns dealing in cotton
had borrowed very large on a close
margin, and, for some reason or 9TH
er. were compelled to sell for the pur-
pose of meeting other loans, and
movement, once begun, toward the
lowering of price, would be apt to
gain headway because other people,
having cotton on margin, would be
fearful of greater loss if they waited
until the price went lower, and so
would rush into the market, determln-
ed to get rid of their product at
given time.
How "bear pool would operate, l
confess I do not quite understand, nor
do know of the existence of any such
pool. By pool I me4 a group of men
who, for the purpose of controlling
the price of a commodity, in their own
interest, buy a sufficiently large
amount of the property to enable them
to control the price in the market. |
write, giving you just my impressions
of the subject, because you may have
fuller knowledge than I, and l should
be very glad to have you give me any
detailed information available to you
going to show the existence and opera
ton of any combination formed for the
purpose of depressing the price OF cot
ton.
In the proceeding against those en-
gagged in the so-called "bull cotton
pool" which the government brought
a. year or so ago, the United States
circuit court in New York held that
corners" were illegal and immoral,
but that a combination formed to cor
ner and enhance the price of cotton
did not operate in restraint OF inter-
state commerce even though, as was
alleged in the indictment, the neces-
sary effect, as we'll as the intended
purpose, Of the combination was to
increase the price which the spinners
had to pay, and, as a matter OF TACT,
by so increasing the price large per-
centage of the spinners had refralned
from manufacture and had thereby
been restrained in commerce among
the several States. An appeal from
the judgment of the court, sustaining
a demurrer to the essential counts OF
the indictment, has been argued in the
supreme court of the United States
and is now under consideration. II
the court shall decide the essential
question involved and not let the case
go off on a. technical matter OF plead
ing, we may have some light which
will be of aid in the enforcement Of
the law against other combinations OF
| like character. But, aside from that
my greatest difficulty should have in
dealing with the case you mention Is
what I have outlined above.
