BILL OF LADING
Is DECIDED UPON

London, September 22.-The European
bankers interested in preventing fraud
ulent bills of lading in the shipment of
American cotton decided today not to
recede from their position and Endorsed
the action of the recent general bank
ing conference in demanding guarantees
from the American banking houses.
The committee took this action after
considering the reply of the American
bankers to the ~European proposal, and
the offer of validating certificates from
the railroads. In accordance with this
section American bankers will be ex-
pected to guarantee cotton bills of lading
on and after October 81.
The committee took up the matter of
guarantee and unanimously decided upon
draft of the form of guarantee which
will be required from the American
banks by the European accepting banks
as to the genuineness of the bills of lad
ing accompanying the cotton bills. The
forms will be printed and the terms pub
lished shortly In London and New York.
Cotton Men Not Alarmed
New Orleans, September 22.-Inquiry
made of Frank B. Hayne, the bull
leader in the cotton future market,
brought the following cablegram to
spot cotton members of the New Or
leans cotton exchange today:
BILLS of lading immaterial."
Mr.. Hayne Is now in Liverpool,
where he has been looking into the
bills of lading questions His cablegram
today confirms the contentious of
many spot dealers in the south
who have claimed for some time that
firms in good standing who are ship
ping cotton abroad this season will
suffer no inconvenience. They say that
arrangements have already been per-
fected for the movement of a large
part of the crop but assert that the
character of the exporters will be
much greater factor in purchasing
cotton and In honoring drafts than 1t
has been heretofore.

The Tampa dispatches indicate that
the question of the nationality of the
two victims is in doubt. II 1t should de-
velop they were naturalized citizens, then
on the other hand the Italian embassy
WOULD promptly drop the matter. but II
they were italian subjects at the time

reparation could be expected.

man who farms that basis will not grow cotton
