BANKS SUPPORT POSITION
Uphold Action of Association on
Export Cotton Bills,

Representatives Of the leading national
and state banks and private banking in
stitutions OF this city, at q meeting held
in the Corn Exchange Bank, determined
TO uphold the recent action of the bill Of
la6ing committee OF the American Bank
ers' Association in refusing to guarantee
bills Of lading for export cotton.
The foreign bankers committee some
time ago notified the American bankers
committee that after October 81 II would
refuse 10 accept cotton bills unless they
were guaranteed by the banks here. The
local committee replied that to do so
would be q violation of the national bank
ing law. well as being incompatible
with correct banking principles. and that
therefore consideration of guarantee
was absolutely out OF the question This
was on September L. Since then the
foreign bankers committee has held Sew
eral meetings, but the result Of its dclib-
erations has not been made public. Local
bankers are still hopeful that the foreign
committee will recede from its demand for
guarantee and agree to accept the
valuation certificates issued by the rail-
roads. which are considered an ample
safeguard.

rier, Canada's Premier. in Montreal on
