ODD-LOT EXCHANGE
APPEAL ARGUED HERE

Oral argument was heard in the
Supreme Court today in the appeal
Of the Odd-Lot Cotton Exchange OF
New York to compel the New York
Cotton Exchange, the Western Union
Telegraph Co. and the Gold and
Stock Telegra ph Co. to deliver to it
cotton quota tions made on the New
York Cotton Exchange.
The Odd Lot Cotton Exchange
contended that the contract under
which the Western Union handles the
quotations of the New York Cotton
Exchange was inteaded to establish
a monopoly in the trade and trans
portation of cotton. 1t asserted that
there was no foundation for the claim
which 1t declared had been advanced
by the New York Cototn Exchange
that the Withholding of it's quota tions
was aimed to>destroy bucket shops.
The New York Cotton Exchange
and the telegraph companies asserted
a property right in the quotations.
and urged that the injunction which
had been granted by the Federal Dis.
trict Court at New York City re-
straining the Odd-Lot Cotton FIX
change from receiving or using the
quotations of the New York Cotton
Exchange be made permanent. They
insisted that no violation of the anti
trust laws had been shown, and de-
MED that Interstate commerce was
involved. The New York Cotton Ex-
change asserted that 1t did not have
an Illegal monopoly of cotton quota
tions. and that the telegraph com
panies merely acted as its agents in
the quotations and were
not engaged In an unlawful con-
spiracy.
