Supreme Court Strikes Down Grain Market Speculation
In Des Moines on Oct 27 the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that contracts for buying or selling grain on gambling margins without actual delivery are void. The case Charles Counselman & Co. vs Emmanuel Reierhart concerns two oat trades in 1894 with a $505 balance and a push to deliver or settle, holding that mere margins without delivery cannot form enforceable contracts. The decision states that contracts void if both parties intend speculative margins rather than delivery, and clarifies mutual gambling intent is required to deem a contract void.
