COTTON EXCHANGE IN NHW YO UK IS A GAMRLING IN STlTUTION. lt ls Operated Under ? "Debased and Fraudulent Contracts Says tb? Official Report. Tbc Charge (hal thc New York Cot ton Bxclinugo ts a gambtiu.; Institu tion and not n mercantile exchange is practically sustained in tho report submitted to President Roosevelt by Commissioner ol' Corporation Ilor bort Knox Smith, just made public. Mr. Smith's report is based on an exhaustivo investigation begun short ly niter tito adoption by tito House of a resolution Introduced by Re presentatives Hurleson and Livingston on February i. 1 007. That resolu tion was aimed to ascertain why the contracts sold on tho Now York amt Now Orlenos exchanges brought about such violent linet nations in the pslee ol' cotton, and also to learn whether the members of tho oxchang es, by combining muong themselves, brought about depression in prices because, nader the terms of tho con tracts, they could deliver any one ol" thirty grades of colon. The charges which sein to bo uphold, in part at least, by Mr. Smith, include the fol low lng: "That New York Olly has ceased lo he a commercial spot cotton market, and that tho New York Coll?n hix chango, operating under its present debased and fraudulent contracts, hes developed Into a purely specula tive or gambling exchange, and thal tho grades or cotton Bb ip pod lo Now Vork and tciulcrablo'on the contracts under the rules of the New York Cot ion lOxc.hange cannot he used for commercial spinning purposes, and that such grades of cotton are used solely to de],ress the price of spinn ble grades in the South, t<? furthor i he speculative teat uves ol' the Now Vork Colton IQxchnngc, to the heavy detriment of the entire legitimate cot ton I ? ade ot thc I'niied States."
