Future dealing is one of the familiar
methods by which traders protect
themselves. 1t establishes something
like stability in prices for consider
able periods ahead, and is one of the
safeguards of widely extended trade.
On the other hand, cornering has
just been condemned by the supreme
court as a violation of the Sherman
antitrust act, and persons guilty of it
are liable to punishment, which in
cludes Imprisonment, under the GRIM
inal section of that statute. Corner
ing is gambling on a large scale. I'm
like dealing in futures, which facili-
tates the exchanges, and prevents any
cataclysmic fiuctuation in prices, cor
nering aims to hamper the exchanges,
and leyies blackmail on would-be
purchasers. The cornerer renders no
useful service to anybody but him
self He tells the community to
Stand and deliver" and the proceeds
of the hold-up go into his own pocket
The nations highest court has point
ed out way by which these wreck
ers can be placed behind prison bars.
If the lower courts perform their
duty the jails of the country will
quickly get few cotton. and grain
cornerers who are now at large, and
will abolish their occupation for all
deals with trading in futures it is
So far as it aims to
curb cornering of the market it is
superfluous
