Now that some weeks have gone by
since the proposition OF guaranteeing cot :
ton bills Of Iadinc was proposed. and
bankers and cotton men have had time
In which TO give the matter some
thought, they are not quite so cnthusi-
astic over the scheme as they were some
time ago. In fact. some OF the bankers
who were the strongest advocates OF the
guarantee plan are now expressing dis
approval OF the entire proposition In
short. they feel that the best safeguard
against fraudulent bills Is the use OF dis
cretion in discounting bills. The best
protection that bank or d cotton mar.
chant abroad can have against spurious
bills they say. is TO do business only
with firms whose regulations for honesty
and financial responsibility are well
known. Furthermore. IL is pointed out
that. should the transportation lines ex-
ercisc more caution In Issuing bills and
thereby lessen the possibility OF fraud.
there would be no need for surety COM
panies guaranteeing bills OF ladlnE issued
by them. Not only do the cotton Inter-
ests feel that the cost of insurance would
necessarily be high, but they say that in
years past business has been transacted
in the ordinary way with comparatively
few losses. and owing to the fact that
last year several houses lost money
through fraud. II does not follow that
such practices will ne repeated \ ship
