Memphis Sept 11.-If plans laid at
q conference Of representatives ef
southern cotton exchanges held here
today are carried out, all cotton ship
ped to northern buying centers will be
sampled and weighed under the direc-
tion Of a supervisor as agent of the
southern shipper.
A committee was named to seek
conference with representatives of the
Arkwright club and eastern cotton
buyers, looking to mutual -agreer
ment. It is proposed the supervisor
represent the shipper in all disputes in
the event OF differences unadjusted
and a competent cotton exchange to
act as a court Of arbitration.
The meeting was for the purpose Of
revising the rules OF buying and re-
selling cotton, and concluded late this
afternoon. Among the important
changes adopted were those providing
that If cotton must be sold on invoice
weights IT should be on a system Of
mutual allowances; that gain in weight
of the cotton itself should be applied
as against any claim for excess in tare,
and that the tare claim shall be pre-
sented within thirty days after the re-
ceipt OF the cotton by the consignee,
and unless otherwise specified, cotton
sold for prompt and immediate de-
livery must be shipped within fourteen
days from the date Of sale.
