of Lading?
UP TO BANKERS
AND RAILROADS
Remembering Recent Forgeries
and Frauds, London Bankers
Will Refuse to Accept Bills
as Negotiable Unless They
Are Backed by American
Banking Institutions.

New Orleans. La. July 24.-With the
harvesting OF the South's cotton al
ready begun In the earlier sections,
and the time fast approaching when
the crop will begin to move in even
the more Northerly States. Southern
bankers and business men are now
hard at work on the problem present

cotton bills OF lading. that, beginning
in November. American cotton bills Of
lading shall be negotiable only when
they are guaranteed by an American
banking institution.
This action grew out OF the frauds
alleged to have been perpetrated
through forged bills of lading, and
Southern cotton men realize that COM
mercial consequences OF vast import.
ance will follow the stand taken by
the English bankers. They say that
in the event American banks refuse
to guarantee cotton bills of lading. the
cotton business of the South would be
thrown Immediately upon cash basis.
and that this would mean drain Of
millions of dollars from the monetary
centres Of the country. In this con-
uection, 1t is pointed out that, accord
ing to the statistics Of the Department
of Commerce and Labor during the
financial year ending June 80. 1910, the
total value OF all unmanufactured cot
ton exported from the United States
was S417.3s0.6s5. exceeding the COM
bined value of the country's exports
during the same period In corn, wheat,
coal. petroleum. refined oil. tobacco and
manufactures Of iron and steel IN
consequence bankers admit that very
serious situation has developed In the
South, and that any system OF guar
anteed bills of iading probably means
an additional tax upon the cotton pro-
ducers of the South.
Pinn Is Suggested
One OF the main plans which has
been suggested as forming solution
OF the serious problem which now
confronts the Southern cotton men Is
that the railroads. which are the arst
to receive the cotton. guarantee the
bills OF lading TO the American banks,
which, tn turn, shall guarantee them
to the banks abroad.
In this connection an important con-
ference among leading cotton men will
be held In New Orleans within the
next week or ten days. Those who
are behind tie movement express the
hope that j. T. Haradan, president OF
the Illinois Central Railroad. will at
tend the conference and lend his ad-
vice and counsel in devislns plan
which will fully meet the situation.
Mr. Harahan went to England when
the recent cotton frauds came to light
and attended, In Liverpool, meetings
of cotton men held TO discuss the al
legged evils of the present system Of
exporting cotton.
AS result OF the situation which
the action of the European bankers
brought about. prominent cotton deal
ers In Galveston. New Orleans. Mo-
bile, Savannah and other Southern
ports are advocating port bills OF lad
Ing. which, they assert, with a proper
checking system. will preclude all pos
sibility Of frauds being practiced on
European bankers.

The work was inaugurated and
pushed to q successful conclusion by
DR.. Angelo Cell, who is regarded with
