BUSINESS MATTERS,


sherman. Texas. November 3.--Some-
what more than three weeks ago the City
Bank OF Sherman closed Its doors under a
general assignment. naming Judge j. A.
l.. Wolfe as assignee, who Immediately
qualified and took charge of it's affairs.
Since the date OF the Assignment an appl-
cation for a receiver for the defunct bank
has been before the district court. and only
last evening was the examination OF Wit
nesses completed. The examination OF
some OF the witnesses tended toward
bringing out an occasional sensation. In
every instance 1t was the endeavor Of APP
plicants to develop facts showing that the
bank came TO its downfall through sheer
mismanagement and bad Judgment, ON
the other hand the banks attorneys tried
to break down the plaintiffs testimony or
rebut 1t with testimony showing that the
bank was compelled to close its doors on
account Of certain heavy debtors and that
these debtors were the instlgators OF the
petition for receiver.
Tonight at o'clock the attorneys for
the recevership opened the argument. 10.
c. McClean made the opening speech. IL
the arguments are as elaborate as the ex-
amlnatiops were lengthy aud critical The
case may drag along for several days with
out decision.

THE FOUR DAY RULE WILL APPLY
Judge Reagan Passes ravorabIy on
the Bay shores Notice Given
EARLY Last Month.

Judge Reagan Of the railroad commits
sion has given reply to the circular CT
the Galveston, La Porto and Houston, sub
mitted to that body for approval early
last month with reference to the inspec-
ton Of export cotton by the ship agents
at Galveston. The La Porte gave notice
to all concerned that they would not as
sumo the responsibility Of re-compressing
condemned cotton in cases where they
have notified the consignee or the ship
agents that the cotton was on the tracks
of the Wharf company ready for delivery,
and, that IL they should fail to unload the
cars so that an inspection can be held by
the Maritime association within four days
the consignee or ship agent does so at the ir
own risk. The notice was given in ac-
cordance with the commissions rule. No.

cotton. which provides that when a bale
OF cotton is inspected within four days af-
ter its arrival and found to be defective
that the same shall be re-compressed and
the press performing the original work
charged for the same.
The railroad company further contends
that II the cotton Is not inspected and
passed upon within the required time that
the recompressipg, provided the same has
to be performed, shall be done at the ex-
pense Of the consignee. They argue that
cotton remaining in the atmosphere at
Galveston will expand and the bands burst
and otherwise be relieved of it's proper
density, necessitating rccompression Not,
withstandng that Judge Reagan gave the
road favorable reply, sustaining their
position, the ship agents at Galveston are
pursuing their former course with ref
erence to the inspection OF the cotton.
