COTTON EXCHANGE FRAUD.-There is
a sensation among the cotton men of
Atlanta on account of an alleged
fraud perpetrated by J. H. Smith, of
the Birmingham, Ala, cotton firm of
Smith, Coughlin & Co. Smith shipped
23O bales of cotton to Savannah and
drew on the purchasers for 100000
pounds. 1t afterward developed that
the bales had been repacked loosely
and that there was only about 100000
pounds Of cotton in them. The matter
is being investigated and Smith will
probably be expelled from the ex-
change.
