INTERESTING DECISION TO THE COMMERCIAL
s. CoAlMUNTTY.-An interesting decision was
made in the Supreme Court of Louisiana, a
few days ago, in which VIM. d. Miller, to-
bacco manufacturer of Lynchburg, Va, was
the appellee, and two n Orleans commission
merchants appellants. The former, on several
occasions, had shipped tobacco to the latter to
sell on commission. A consignment, some
Atme since, was destroyed by fire 10 the store
lof the appellants, and the suit arose in regard
10 the insurance. The New Orleans Delta
says:
1t was decided that the factor, who charges
is principal a rate of insurance different from
hat which he himself pays the underwriters,
hereby becomes the insurer of his principal
We believe the custom is almost universal
among our merchants to charge their consig-
J nors one fourth OF one per cent. month for
Insurance. Every merchant thus becomes an
Underwater, and many of them will be start
d TO learn their new obligations. Hereafter
lanters and others shipping their produce 20
Gar merchants can have no assurance that
their property is protected, or that, in case
of loss, responsible offices viii make il good.
They must rely more than ever on the integri-
" and sOvency of their merchants.
