DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED.
Railway Men to Appear Before the
Interstate Commerce COmmfs ssiOn.

Subpoenas have been served on a num-
Der of promir ent railroad men and New
York firms dealing in grain and other do
mestic PRODUCTS to appear before the inter-
state commerce commission in this city and
elsewhere on the 1st, ID and Sd proximo to
answer cl argos made by the American
Warehousemens Association. These
charges, which are made against fifty-onc
railway companies, allege discrimination
against many small shippers by giving free
storage and acting as forwarders for others.
1t is also alleged that the railways dis
crimnate against competing localities, and
that in engaging in the business of ship
ping and forwarding they injure the busi-
ness of warehousemen. Testimony in some
of these cases will be taken in Philadel-
phia. Among the eastern roads involved
are the New York Central, Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio, Lehigh Valley, Jersey
Central Erie and the West Shore.
The railroads, it is understood, will deny
that they discriminate against any customer
or locality. They will contend that they
have al absolute right to act as ware
housemen where reasonable storage rates
are charged. Even if unreasonable rates
are charged, they will maintain that such
action is not in violation of the interstate
commerce law.

The Rev. Charles F. Dole of Jamaica

as unitarians hold, with the same idea of
the universe. ut has, he said, gotten

Bible matched with the idea of a lost
world saved by a miracle
The new thought brings the books of the
Bible with their natma al place in the lit

moral inspiration stir mems hearts and
compel confidence. The new orthodoxy
does not frankly accept this modern view
of the Bible
The idea OF Jesus life as unique and
exceptional is also survival from the
mediaeval system of catastrophe, miracle
ana intervention. Jesus holds in modern
thought His proper rank among the great

when the borrowings of the state banks
in these states are added to those of the
national banks, and it is understood that
most of this money is borrowed from New
York, it can be seen how potent a factor
the cotton crop movement must be in af-
fecting interest rates in New York.
"These figures l think, too show how
vital an interest bankers, merchants and
farmers in the cotton-growing states have
IN a currency which would be elastic. Ii
any plan could be devised under which the
southern banks could issue additional cur
rency equal to one-fourth of their capital
stock during the cotton season it would be
Godsend to that section. For 1t would enable
the banks there to furnish the money
needed without outside aid. and free from
the cost of interest now paid on borrowed
money, and national banks in all other
sections having the same privilege, the re-
suit would be to make money more abun
dant and cheaper, and to relieve the New
York market of the annual strain now put
upC 1t.
ION October 9, 1896, the capital stock of
the national banks in the eight states
named was about $,S,0O0.0OO Could -hey
have issued currency to the extent of one
fourth of this amount, they could them
selves have furnished about s9,5O00O0 of
the 81 100000 they were compelled under
existing circumstances to borrow outside.
In my opinion, therefore, the cotton-grow-
ing south has more vital interest in de-
vising bank currency which is elastic, as
well as safe than any other section of the
United States

MOVING THE CROPS
Need Of Cotton n-Growing States for
Currency.
INCREASED RATES IN new YORK
Deputy Controller Coffin Discusses
the Reason.
S Z &C ESTS A EDY

Deputy Controller of the Currency Coffin,
| in discussing recent advance in money
rates in New York, said to a Star reporter
| this morning:
Some of the recent sharp advance in
rates of interest on demand loans in New
York is no doubt due to speculative manipu-
lation of the stock market but think the
impulse to this upward turn has been given
by the heavy withdrawal from New York
of funds for the legitimate purpose of mov-
ing the cotton crop now coming to mar
ket.
"As a resident of South Carolina familiar
with the movement of this crop l have for
years obs erved its effect upon national
bank statements. as well as on the money
market in New York, during the month of
September. AS a rule the rates of inter-
est advance about this time, and in some
years have approached the danger line, and
while the movement of the wheat and other
great crops has contributed to this effect,
still l think the movement of the cotton
crop has been the main factor for this rea-
son.
Value of the Cotton Yield.
The average value of the cotton yield
is about s3O0,0CO,O00, and it is pra ctcally
marketed between October / and March l.
or within period of five months, but it is
peculiar in this respect that only about
one-nfnth of the entire crop when this is
100000 bales remains in the section
where it is grown. OF the remaining
e.ght-Einths about 100000 bales are ship
ped north, where it is manufactured, while
about two-thirds of the entire crop are ex-
ported from the United States.
The rapid removal of SO large proper
t1on OF this great product within SO short
period of time requires a large amount
OF actual curreDcy, for most of the cotton
is paid for in interior towns at the south
with spot cash. AS the cotton-grpwing re-
gion is rot densely populated, the ac-
cumulation of banking capital there is
not sufficient to provide the enormous
amount of money needed for few months
to move the crop, and for this reason the
southern banks have to borrow largely
from banks in other sections during this
crop period. This is reflected in national
bank reports for the past few years by the
following figures, showing the amount of
money borrowed by national banks in the
distinctively cotton states of North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama.
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas
