McAden Explains His Cotton
Selling Scheme.
The Business Of Financing His Commission
Company Satisfactorily Arranged at
Charlotte Yesterday.
(By the Associated Press

Charlotte, N. c., May 21.-Dr John H.
McAden, President of the Cotton Manu-
facturers Commission of this city, re-
Gently organized, says that the contracts
for the financing of his company have
been drawn up and signed. Speaking of
the details of the scheme, he says:
The Manufacturers Commercial Com
pany will cash all sales that come
through our company Our New York
company is backed by two New York
trust companies and a capital amounting
to ten million dollars. To illustrate our
operation: A mill man here will sell his
yarns to party in New York or Phila-
delphia. He will send one bill of goods
TO the purchaser and a duplicate bill of
lading will be given to us. We endorse
it; send to the Manufacturers CONNER
cial Company and it will cash the sale
on the day the invoice is received. In
other words we will do a spot cash bust
ness and the money resulting from the
sale will be placed to the credit of the
seller either in New York or in any local
bank.
Under our system he will have the ad-
vantage of knowing to whom he sells and
the price actually received for his goods.
All speculation will be necessarily elimi-
mated Under the present system as we
sell to Northern commission men, We
never know to whom our production goes,
or what it sells at; and we know now
that there is much speculation and that
we are hurt by it,
THE commission men charge five and
5 2-3 per cent for commission. We will
never charge over four per cent"
The business was adjusted today by
George D. Mumford, of New York, at
torney for the Manufacturers CONNER
cial Company and Burwell, Walker and
Canister for the home company.
