Three British Warships
Rushed to Gull of Mexico

Y l.
GALVESTON, Aug. 27.-An official
statement from the British consulate
here today said three British war
ships have been sent at full speed
to protect cotton and oil traffic in the
Gulf of Mexico
The statement follows: The British
consulate is Informed that three
British warships have been sent ut
full speed to afford protection to cot
ton and oil traffic in the Gulf of Mex
leo. 1t is rumored that the French
cruiser Conde has sunk the German
shin Alliancia and the British cruiser
Donegal has captured the North
German Lloyd steamship Branden-
burg
Sending of the British ships to the
gulf is probably the result of reports
of the presence of German warships
in those waters.

Cotton Property, Not Cash
Money.

Hubbard Bros. q Co., brokers OF |
New York, have the following to
say about the cotton situation:
"For some so years the south
has regarded it's chief staple, cot
ton, not as piece of property, but
as cash; now as result of the
war, they find that it has become
property in the same sense as lum
Der or real estate. The fact that it
is property does not make it worth
less, any more than piece of land
which can not be sold is worthless,
but seems to US that the sudden
shock that it became property in
stead of cash has created desire to
sell it all at once. When a man has
a piece of land he can not sell, ex-
cept at below what he considers il
worth, he does not rush to sell it
at any old price; be finds some one
to take a mortgage upon it and
holds it for better or for worse.
Usually the experience of this
country is that he holds it for bet
ter. Now, all these years through
the operations of the exchanges
that has been the progress of trade,
but so covered up in the vast com
plications of international com
merce that few have been able to
comprehend or realize it. There
fore, regarding cotton as property,
anybody can understand how to
mortgage it, or, in other words,
how to store it, SO as to preserve it
from the weather or from theft and
fire, and then borrow. Therefore,
the question of borrowing money,
or rather not money but credit, be
comes much simpler one than to
borrow money on piece Of land,
because it is only a question of
time when one is sold and long
time before the other is sold.
"Every obligation of a merchant
is paid in credit, only very small
proportion of actual business out

ban ker how he can obtain that rel
4tively small amount of cash with,
out difficulty, and the government
as does every other thinking man,
believes the banker, and if not he,
the merchant will hunt all over the
country to place loans or mort
cages on the piece of properly they
now have in their hands. To say
they can not do this is to expose
their ina bility to handle an ordi-
nary business proposition. just
as soon as they come to consider
cotton as property instead Of cash
we expect TO see them hunting all

Tor loans on perfectly safe piece
Of property, at the moment un
sala BILE, but below the cost of pro.
duction and not be replaced at the
ruling price.
"Of course, some Mill say that it
is case of supply and demand; SO
cotton should sell at any ridicu-
lous price, but we find most of
these opinions come from men
who have been going to Washing
ton for years, asking Congress to
give them protection on their cot
ton goods and factories, so they
would not be compelled to en-
counter this same law of supply
and demand when Europe could
manufacture goods cheaper than
they could.
"We think the situation that
nfronts us is similar to an earth.
quake, so that all should work K to
gether for the public good. Next
year the world, even at peace, will
need enormous foodstuffs, which
this county must supply at the ex-
pense of cotton acreage and pro
duction. Then cotton will be
needed.
"For some 800 years the curren-
cy of the world has been bills of
exchange, based on goods in the
hands of merchants and bankers;
raw materials of every character,
wool, 'lum Der, indigo, sugar, cotton,
tea, coffee, spices, and many 9th

wide currency or how the business
of the Wo Id was carried on, It
would surprise anyone to know
| that from October TO June these
bills of exchange represent the
carrying of three to five million
bales of cotton, carried without
question price on the pledge of
the Endorsements, and the bills of
exchange are just as apt to be in
St. Petersburg or Constantinople
as in London, Paris or Berlin.
Some day the bankers of the Uni
ted States will wake up and look
up bills of exchange or their pres
ent crude ubstitue-'emergency
currency'-as safer than any issue
of bonds, because the security be.
hind one is constantly being con.
sumed and the paper liquidated,
while the history of this country
is that bonds on any enterprise, or
bonds of states or cities are seldom
or ever paid and cancelled.
"Now, this is written in the hope
that it may, in some slight way
show to the planterss of the south
that they have a valuable piece of
property, not Immediately salable,
but which can be mortgaged, and
that they are foolish to try to sell
it all to one buyer, when they usu-
ally have three buyers.
"The exchanges will doubtless
reopen and draw investment buy
ers also into the field of competi-
ton Just as soon as it is shown
that the effort to turn the entire
crop into cash at once has checked
by realization of the South that
such an effort can only result inan
