The New York Court of Appeals has
just rendered decision of interest to
business men and banking establish.
ments. The facts in the case were
these: A business man, going away
for brief absence, dated check
payable to the order of his book
keeper two days ahead, and told the
book-keeper if he had not returned by
noon of the day of the date to draw the
money for use in his business. The
book-keeper changed the date from
the 22d of the month to the 21st, and
on that day drew the money and ran
away. The signature was genuine, the
amount was unchanged, the indorse-
ment was correct, but the court held
that the alteration of the date amour
ted to forgery, and that the check thus
altered gave the bank no authority to
pay the money. The. amount was
therefore recovered, and the bank had
to bear the loss. The New York
Times, commenting editorially upon
the decision, says: "This looks like
hardship, if not an injustice, for the
bank. If the drawer of the check had
not returned on the %, the dishonest
book-keeper might then have presented
the check and it would have been
genuine. He might have made away
with the money and it would have
been his employers loss. BY his haste
the loss was thrown upon the bank.
The theory of the decision seems to be
that the check was an order for the
payment of the money on particular
date, and did not authorize its pay
ment on some other date, at least not
on an earlier. date. 1t is a common
practice among business men, and
almost necessary practice, thus to
date checks ahead and leave them for
the use of trusted employees. They
sometimes sign them in blank and
leave the amount and date to be filled
in by another hand as the exigencies of
their business may require. Is the
filling out of such check, where no
specific authority is shown, a forgery :?
If only the date is left blank, can it be
filled by the clerk without invalidating
the check? These questions are natur-
ally suggested by the decision in this
case, and they suggest the risks which
banks may run every day in paying
checks which bear no indication of
change or of fraudulent purposes"

a Coal Yard.

The man who has some idle capital
to invest and who desires to place it
where it will return him handsome
profit, has only to establish at this city
a coal yard Or fleet of coal barges.
1t is estimated that there arc not less
than 600 CRATES and coal stoves in use
in this city alone besides this there
are three or four local packets that ply
i'll the tributaries regularly during high
water and which have their domicile
here. Then there are through boats to
New Orleans which would no doubt buy
coal here could they get the coal at
reasonable rates-and we cannot see
why coal could not be brought to Mon
roe at ~ slight advance above what it
costs to deliver it at Baton Rouge, and
be sold here at or about the sane price.
we ask our steamboatmen to ponder
over this subject and investigate for
themselves what we say. Ii is imma-
terial TO us, however, who starts the
coal yard, the object of this article be-
ing merely to call attention to what
amounts to an almost absolute need,
and we earnestly hope that the atten-
ton of interested parties may be at
