British Government to Act

Liverpool. April 2S.-(special.)-A:
the request of the cotton trade the
British government will take up the
question of bills of lading for Amer
lean cotton not shipped which, because
of the failure of the firm of Knight,
Yancey Co., has caused a loss OF
f75O,000 and will endeavor to reach an
agreement with the American govern
ment which will put stop to the prac-
tlce. Right Hon. Sydney Buxton, pres
ident of the board of trade, who was
in Liverpool today, has taken hold OF
the subject and promises to use all le-
Ultimate means to bring about re-
form.
The custom of southern shippers OF
securing filled-o out bills of lading before
the cotton is actually shipped, which
are attached to drafts which are col
lected through regular channels, is OF
long standing. 1t was not, however
until the recent failure that the great
risks imposed upon European trade was
realized. 1t Is feared number OF
Liverpool firms are so hard hit they
will be compelled to suspend.
Two years ago an international COM
mittee of cotton men appealed to the
British and American governments tc
put in force new uniform laws govern
Ing through bills of lading, but theiI
efforts to rectify the Irregularities end
ed unsuccessfully. The continental
houses which dealt with the Alabama
firm center in Bremen and Havre anc
much alarm is felt at those places.

But even more important to the creditors
who have lost so many millions of dollars
is the battle for the cotton now on the
water. This cotton is being held up, I'M
der the orders of the court, and the re-
ccivers will make determined EFFORT 10
make II a part of the estate, for equal
division among the creditors.
The ports of the world are being
searched for traces of any cotton which
has cen shipped in the name of the bank

of birmingham by the dozen.
Four thousand bales, valued at more
tnan $4,000, have been discovered en-
route to Genoa, and 1t Is known that other
cotton has been shipped.
Yesterday a ship was caught ready to
steam out of Mobile loaded with 200
bales, valued al 100000, consigned from
Knight Yancey to Lathem & Co. at Havre,
Frame. 4 petition was Immediately pre-
sensed here to Judge w. I. Grub, and
an order of seizure granted to prevent

COMPLICATIONS IN
COTTON FAILURE

The legal battle brought on by the
Knight Yancey failure in Decatur will
bring up questions of International inn
portanoe, and will call upon the courts to
settle very fine points in dispute.
IN The opinion of local attorneys who
are working on the case the banks of
Liverpool will at least have ground for
a case against the banks of New York
to prevent them collecting on drafts
which were made payable, not to any per-
sen, hut to cotton shipment per bill OF
lading attached, implying that the bank is
responsible for the genuneness of the
rills OF lading.
The courts will have to lay the response
bill ty for those spurious bills where II
belongs and decide to what extent the
banks guarantee the bills of lading. 1t l.

at variance, and the legal fight which
