Perkins
THAT old whale of a National Bank"
said Uncle Ashdod. 1T wept so much
inward weep because GobbleacOwsky
wouldn't come aboard it that the tears
swelled the dried apples and swelled
EN- and swelled EN- until the reserve
fund puffed the old First National out
like a balloon. Got to contract the cur

National is gOin' to bust higher'n a
kite! but before we could get the old
whale aboard and alongside the galley
to dry out he busted Yup! He went
off with a bang like a cannon. Blew
the whole roof offn him"
'HO, hum" said Sim Perkins, stretch
ing his arms and pretending to yaWn.
Panic. that's what happened" said
Uncle AShdOd. All them sailor men
that had put dried apples onto deposit
in the old First national whale started
to draw out, and some of our finan-
ceers was waterin' their dried apples
and some was dryin' them in the oven,
and nobody knOwed nothin' nOhOw.
That was a turrible day for the secre-
tary of the treasury She ShOVeled dried
apples into the money market with the
coal shovel until the aft deck was knee
deep in as good dried apple currency
as ever was. and still the interest rate
went up. 1t went up to seven million
eight hundred and sixty-fOur thousand
nine hundred and fifty one and halt
percent. So the SHIPS carpenter, who
was national bank examiner, closed the
First National Bank"
He did, did he?' said Sim Perkins
scornfuly. I don't care a ding what
he did"
He closed it, continued Uncle Ash
dod, because it was leakin' water at
the roof He closed it with a tarpaulin
first. an then he sOldered a piece of
tin roof on, and we was mighty proud
Of the lob. We had the first tin rooted
First National Bank Whale that ever
crossed the South Atlantic. I dunno
but we had the first tin rooted nation
Ia bank whale that ever cruised any
Atlantic. Might be some ShinEle roo1ed
First National Bank whales cruSin' in
the North Atlantic, or the east Atlantic
or the west Atlantic, but I never heard
Of a slate rooted whale. or a tile
rooted whale cruISin anywhere Slate
roof would make a whale top heavy,
and a teller would have to rig up a
lead keel and then the whale would
set too deep in the water, and First
National Bank that sets plumb under

And we didn't neither" said Uncle
Ashdod cheerfUlly. Seemed like dried

like a currency that would expand

Cotton Bills Of lading.

Now that cotton drafts are beginning
10 make their appearance in the market
the question OF protecting bills OF lading
against risk. which has been under discus
sion during the last two years, is up be-
fore the cotton warehouses and bank
ers There is less intensity now than for
rnerlv in the agitation for protection. as
during the two-year period a cotton draft
business exceeding sl.CO). 10000 has been
done with practically no loss. Naturally
since the Knight. Yancy and Steele-Miller
EXPOSE. resulting from spurious bills or
lading various methods Of checking up
bills against actual cotton by transports,
ton lines have been introduced. and grad
uallv the possibilities Of fraud have been
lessened 10 a point which eliminates the
nossibility of heavy losses experienced In
the past. Steamship companies are max
ing new move in standardzng the
bales as 10 size. covering. marking, den
sitv and moisture and Southern shippers
are interested n the question whether
tbe New York banks will accept bills on
cotton for export not put up In accord
ance with such standard. AS matter
NJ fact the bankers are more concerned In
the financial responsibility OF the shipper
and with the credit OF tho exporter than
