futures" that is, cotton for future
delivery.
There are four great ,cotton-future
exchanges in che world, the two in
America, one in Liverpool and one at
Alexandria, Egypt. Cotton-future ex-
changes have also been established 1T
Havre, France, Sac Paulo, Brazil,
Yokohama, Japan, and at New Bed
ford, Massachusetts, the latter for
trading in cotton of long staple var
iety, such as the fancy varieties grown
in the far West and off the coast of
the Carolinas. These exchanges are
OF minor significance as speculative
markets when compared to the four
first named.
Cotton Futures and Market
A seat on the New York or New
orleans Cotton Exchange sells as
high as $4,000. The New Orleans
cotton Excvhange occupies a magni-
ilcent new structure, show-place of
that city. The New York Cotton Ex-
cha1Inge is constructing two-million-
dollar building for its future home.
Ihus the official exchanges are pre-
parlng for an expansion of specula-
I'VE trading, and are apparently con-
fident of the future.
1HcIe Is Il dlSClnCtlOn between q cot
ton-future exchange and regular
cotton market where the world buys
supplies Of cotton. Cotton markets
are located principally in the southern
states, near the heart of lotton-grow
ing sertions, in lities surh as Calves
ton and Houston, Savannah, Montgo
merry, Memphis, and SO on, and are
called "spot markets." Great ouanti-
ties OF cotton are shipped to these
markets., where it is sold to street
buyers and merchants, or stored in
warehouses to be sold to factors and
mills. The lifeblood of tho cotton
growing world flows through these
big spot markets, where transactions
Off actual cotton take place.
On the future exchange, however.
cotton is never seen. A visitor to one
o fthe exchanges has the impression
at first, that he is entering bedlam,
or perhaps a wild animal show. A
dense crowd Of so or 60 men are
hovered over sunken pit, waving
arms and yelling in hoarse voices,
loud enough to awaken the Seven
Slecpers. Their yelling is wholly un-
lntelligible to the visitor. The uproar
continues from 10 a. M. to 3 D. m.
They are the brokers of the Exchange
and are trading in cotton on paper,
that is to say, are auctioning off con-
tracts, which represent one hundred
baies OF cotton each, 500 pounds to a
bale, the cotton supposedly to be de-
hvered at some future date. But

wall Street CONTROL OF COTTON PRICES
Il COSTS SOUTHERN PLANTERS MILLIONS YEARLY
Spectators, Who Never See Staple, and
! Never Buy 1t, "Dear' in Futures.
By VIM. BUTLER

Few understand the technical opera
tsons OF cotton exchanges and the in
d side machinery conducive to the mani
y pulation of prices. To this lack of
s. knowledge may be partly attributed
~ the deficient legislation that has from
time to time been enacted against Cot
ton exchanges.
~ Exchanges in general and the New
York Stock and Cotton Exchanges in
Z particular, are like giant spiders spin
hing an interminable web over the
commercial economy of the nation,
catching the unsuspecting adventurer
. in business. The spinning has been
carried on so long, and has so many
ramifcations of political strength,
at::at the threads of the web have be-
GONE like cables Of steel, which can
be cut and destroyed only by the steel
saw Of public opinion sharpened to
the actual truth of the case.
The mystery Of cotton exchanges
their history, function, use and abuse,
, and how these giant gambling palaces
keep within the law and thrive, con-
stitute story well worth the relat-
ing.
At the feast of the New York Cot
Con Exchange in 1920, in celebration
b fthe fiftieth anniversary Of it's or
ganization, pioneer member told
how cotton exchanges came into exis-
tence. He said that back in the fifties
and sixties, cotton merchants traded
IN a more primitive way, more from
hand to mouth, and had not developed
the great modern system of buying
and selling for future delivery, Of
contracting for heavy deliveries far
ahead, which system, as we know, give
tremendous expansion to business,
and, furthermore, instills into it a
high sense of honor and trust, and
develops business acumen. Their
trading was on narrow scale because
they lacked the protective facilities
for large scale trading, such as high
ly organized insurance companies to
assume the risks on their stocks.
AS the demands Of trade grew, how
ever, one New York merchant took
the initiative by offering to deliver
cotton to foreign buyer, at fixed
price on a future date several months
ahead. That transaction was the fore
runner of the establishment of the
''New York Cotton Exchange. A few
years later, in 1870, the Exchange was
established Thus, the cotton world
was given a liquid trading center for
dealing in cotton for future delivery.
There are two official cotton ex-
changes, which is the leader, and the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange. These
are known as cottonafuture exchanges,
since they arc markets for trading in
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-11-15

owing to the elasticity Of the contract
only very small portion of it is ever
delivered.
When contract is sold over the of
lclal trading pit, the price per pound
ana month of delivery named in the
contract are Immediately marked on
the blackboard of the Exchange. and
this quotation is then flashed by wire
TO all parts of the cotton world, as
the latest official price paid for cot
ton for future delivery. Contracts
thus bought and sol dare called "fu-
tures."
Futures" excite in man the passion
TO gamble on the outcome of the fu-
cure. Tho majority Of traders, and in
1act brokers' themselves, see so little
OF raw cotton that they, lose apprecia-
tion OF its merits, and do not seem
10 knoW or care whether they are
Gradlng in cotton or chalk-marks.
Their consuming purpose is. to prab
proflts on contracts as quickly rs pos
sible. 40 p''
The future exchange, as we see. is
the gambling side of the cotton bust
ness and, therefore, the rotten side,
1t is more of sham than an essential
cotton market, a clearing house for
gambling in fictitious cotton. II has
certain beneficial features which will
be shown later.
AS an illustration of how some bu-
siness mon regard the vocation of
broker and speculator a story comes
TO my mind about cotton broker who
went to considerable effort to compile
and print an elaborate booklet on cot
ton speculation and prices ,endeavor
IN gto show his clients what he know
on the subject. He mailed several
Thousand copies to them, and then
waited to receive their complimentary
remarks. The first reply was from
a a BUSINESS 1E man in Texas, who return
ed the booklet with the following
words written acros the title-page:
why. don't you go to work." Al
though the broker would laugh when
telling this story ,he confessed that
the words aroused in hi mdeap chag-
rim.
Markets, like individuals, cannot
move IN an orderly way without re-
cognized leader, some leading market
to guide the smaller markets in quot
ing prices. The New York Cotton
change, although from 1000 to 5000
miles from the eastern and western
sections of the cotton belt, and hand
ling less than five per cent of the
Wnole crop, holds the distinction of
being the all-powerful leader of cot
ton prices. Its sway over the south
ern spot markets is so far-reaching
and mexorable, that cotton merchants
in those markets cannot afford to
buck this influence and keep solvent.
Consequently, when prices at New
York decline, prices in the southern
spot markets invariably decline.
Accept New York Prices
Why this power? Because the COM
mercial world accepts the New York
Cotton Exchange as the head of op-
erations, the official trading center of
the cotton world, the index of supply
and demand. And the powers be-
hind the Exchange have the money
and organization to hold this rccog-
milton, in spite Of the fact that it is
