WEATHER MAY Be
MAIN INFLUENCE
Week Will Probably Be
Given Over to Consider
Grafton of Crops

New Orleans July 6.-The coming
week in the cotton market viii proba-
bly, be given up more than any pre-
ceeding week this season to considera-
tion of new crop conditions. There VIII
be no bureau reports to attract atten-
tion away from the fields and there ara
signs that less interest will be shown
by the trade in general in the summer
months.
Under the circumstances the wealth.
er of the week ought to be the main in
fluence. A fair amount both OF rain and
sunshine are the conditions most de-
sired. Too heavy rains will start bull
ish gossip concerning sappy growth of
plants, shedding and boil 'weevil dam
age, while too little rain will tend to
renew the drouth talk in those sections
of the belt where the rainfall has been
none too heavy.
First bales of new crop cotton will
probably be heard of at several points
In the earliest counties of Texas this
week but it Is probable that they will
have little bearish effect on prices for
1t is generally understood that buyers
are as eager Tor new crop cotton to
appear as growers are to put it on
the market. Unless a favorable turn
takes place in it, the trade will watch
the European political situation closely
for it has more of bearing on the
money situation than any other factor
and the market is beginning to look
forward to the problems surrounding
the marketing of the crop now grow-
ing. A vast sum of money Is required
to move the cotton crop each year and,
consequently, from now on the money
market must be taken into considera-
tion. High rates and tight money will,
of course, be bearish influence of iu-
portance.

speculation's Useful Purpose

Ia discussing speculation, MIR. EoWland
concludes
SHOULD il be ciassed with gambling
as an anti-social practice or with legti-
mate business operations On this point
the testimony of students of economic pro-
cesses is, to all intents and purposes,
unanimous. Prof. Edwin w. A Seligman,
an American student of economics says:
Speculation subSelVes n useful and In
modern times an indispen sa BILE function
From France there comes similar tes.i-
mony in the words of the great French
economist. Paul Leroy Beaulieu: Com
plant is made of the evils of speculation.
but the evils that speculation prevents are
much greater than those 1t causes
1.-THE services which speculation per-
forms in modern business are, first. to
Sc gre gate many of the risks of COM
merce and cause them to be assumed
by a special class; second, to contrib
ute the maximum share to the forma-
tion of a broad and free market in
which prices are kept steady by af-
fording the widest range to the opera
tion of the law of supply and demand
third, to make for the individual in
vestor continuous market in which
he may buy and sell at will the secur-
tiles representing his investments, and,
fourth, to bring together, through the
market which speculation so largely
creates capital and industrial and COM
mercial opportunities for it's use"
This Is so very clear and lucid sure
ly every farmer who reads 1t can
thorouhgly understand it without great
mental effort. Economists have way
of stating their positions in language
so simple and direct that no misun-
derstandng is possible. Further COM
ment, therefore. is entirely unneces-

Senate Amendment Puts a
Tax of About so Cents a
Bale OH Futures"
HOUSE is EXPECTED
TO APPROVE PLAN
Futures Trading Has Many Strong
Defenders But Sentiment Is
Against Practice All Over
the Country

Washington. July Especial War
has been declared on the cotton ex-
changes of New York and New Or
leans by Congress and those insti-
tutions are perhaps nearer extermina-
tion today than they have ever been
since the crusade against cotton gam
bling" began several years ago. Ger
tainly they stand in imminent danger
and unless something unforeseen hap
pens their operations in the future
must be seriously handicapped.
The democratic caucus of the Senate
has approved an amendment to the
Underwood tariff bill which is de-
signed to levy a tax of one-tenth of
cent pound upon all cotton repre-
sented in future contracts-this ma
ture of contract is, as is well known,
the kind of business dealt in in a large
majority of cases on these two great
exchanges, which have more direct
bearing in their operations on the price
of cotton than any other factor out
side of the primary one of supply and
demand.
Prohibit Speculative Sales
On purely speculative sales, this tax will
be prohibtive, when delivery finally taxes
place, If at all, as the result of these fu
The tax on a 5o0bale at one-tenth of a
cent would represent a tax of so cents per
bale; considering The number of bales sold
on future contracts in New York and New
Orleans annually, The government would
come in for a very good slice of the profits
annually taken by the spectators.
lnasmuch the democratic caucus of
the Senate has already approved this
amendment, its pa ge through the upper
Eouse seems certain, and the lower house
has on several different occasions passed
similar measure 10 pronibt gambling by
short sales for delivery at some future
time.
The cotton exchanges, therefore, having
up to this time failed to divest them
selves of The purely speculative part of
their operations, now face determination
through the governments power to tax
them out of existence.
Through their official organs the farm
ers are on record in support of legisIa-
ton of this character. Whether it will
benefit them or not is disputed question.
Amendment Confined to Cotton
The present amendment is confined pure
~ to cotton, but the advocates of this tax
confidently expect that it will be extend
ed SO as to cover grain and other agri-
cultural products, that cotton, wheat
and corn will be sold as cattle and lard
are now.
For a number of years the cotton pro-
ducer has felt that he was at the mercy
of the spectator. He could not fix the
price of his own product, but was forced
to accept the price named by the manip-
ulations of men thousands of miles away
not rigidly followed, at least throw pow

erful influence over prices, and are the
guides to the trade.
For instance: An exporter in Mobile,
New Orleans or Birmingham notices in
his morning paper early in October that
futures are quoted in New York at 10. 25c
for October delivery. He writes his buy
ers in the small towns:
Buy 200 bales at 10 points on New
York quotations"
The local spot" price the day before
may have been only 10 cents, but the
buyer next day offers 1875. Or the
cotton merchant may order his agents
to buy at 20 points off the market
That would mean 10 offer 1905.

The comparison of short selling with
stealing is criticised by Harold j. How
land in the current issue Of the Outlook.
Speaking with particular reference to the
stock exchange, he attempts to show that
it's tendency is to prevent great and sud-
den fluctuations in values and that il
furnishes a market at all times for se-
ourities. Here the small investor may at
any time turn his . eurities into cash. To
class the exchange as an evil, as a detri-
ment to public welfare. and as illegiti-
mate, he characterizes as a colossal err
ror.
Other defenders of the cotton exchange
take the same attitude. They declare that
it furnishes constant market for the mill
man who wants to hedge; for the exporter
who sells 1000 ales of futures when he
buys 1000 bales OF cotton for future de-
livery.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-07
Result of Complicated System

This arbitarary method of fixing
prices is the result of a complicated
system perfected by the cotton ex-
change operators in which consider
able juggling enters to advance or de-
press the market. The farmer feels
that he is being denied part of his
rights to fix the price on his own pro-
ducts. If he brings a COW to town
he says what he will take, but If he
brings two or three bales of cotton he
usually takes what he can get. IT Is
very rare that farmer hauls his cot
ton back to his home because he is
dissatisfied with the prices offered.
The other side to the proposition and
the argument used by the exchanges in
either defense is that they always fur
nish a ready market and render the
cotton trade a valuable service as a
barometer of trade conditions. OF
course the barometer ometimes gets
badly out of order and the trade doesn' t
know 1t.
A desire to curb the evil of specu-
lation is another object sought by the
lawmakers But speculation is an old
evil 1t is inherent in human nature
though more strongly developed in
some persons. The exchange operator
insists that the farmer is the greatest
speculator in the world. IIe gamnles
on the weather. on the chances of rain
or drouth, or frost. on his chances for
getting labor, and a thousand other
things that menace his crops.
