Analysis OF The Law

The law providing for the Cotton
Warehouse System for the State OF
South Carolina" was passed at the
extraordinary session of the General
Assembly in October, 1914.
1t was entitled "An Act to Regu-
late the Storing, Grading and Mar
keting of Cotton"
It's purpose was "to protect the
people of this State from irreparable
loss, to provide some general plan
for warehousing, and to finance the
crop by converting cotton into a
negotiable security which will COM
mand respect in the money markets
of the world"
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1919-07-10

1t was designed to establish Cot
ton Warehouse System within the
police powers of the State and for
the general welfare
The administration of the system
was placed in the hands of the State
Warehouse Commissioner, who was
elected by the General Assembly for
the term of two years.
The State Warehouse Commission
er is required to give "a bond to the
State of South Carolina in the sum
of fifty thousand dollars to guaran-
tee the faithful performance of his
duties"
The Commissioner is empowered
"to acquire property of the ware
housing Of cotton" and to supervise
the operation of warehouses through
bonded managers.
"The Warehouse Commissioners
shall accept as authoritative the
standard and classifcations of cotton
established by the Federal Govern
ment."
For all cotton stored in a State
Warehouse the Commissioner shall
issue receipt "under the seal and
in the name of the State Of South
Carolina"
Every bale of cotton stored in a
State Warehouse must carry a tag
showing that it has been illegally
weighed" by the manager of the
warehouse and that it has been grad
ed by "a Federal or State inspector"
The warehouse receipt issued for
the cotton must state the location
of warehouse, name of manager, or
agent of the warehouse, the mark on
the bale, weight, grade and whether
long or short staple, so as to be able
to deliver on surrender of the re-
ceipt the identical cotton for which
it was given"
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1919-07-10

"The said receipt carries the alb
solute title of the cotton" the re-
ceipt is transferable by written as
signment and actual delivery"
"The weights, classes and grades
of cotton on storage are under this
Act only guaranteed by the State in
favor of those who loan money or
buy cotton stored in warehouses"
Cotton represented by the ware
house receipt is deliverable only on
a physical presentation of the re-
ceipt, which is to be marked 'cancell-
ED when the cotton is taken from
the warehouse"
Any manager or other employee
of a State Warehouse who shall
fraudulently issue receipt or du-
plicate receipt for cotton, or who
shall "deliver cotton from a ware
house without the production of the
receipt therefor, or who fails to
mark such receipt cancelled on the
delivery of the cotton" shall be heav-
lily fined or imprisoned, or both fined
and imprisoned.
"Any person who shall deposit or
attempt to deposit cotton upon which
a lien or mortgage exists, without
notifying the manager of the ware
house shall be punished by fine and
imprisoned for a period Of not moro
than one year. and fine not more
than one thousand dollars"

merce at its next meeting and that
you will send me promptly a list of
names of parties who might be in
terested in building warehouses.
On account of lack of room, the
State Warehouse System could not
accept all of the cotton offered 1t
from the 1918 crop. We do not want
this to happen to the 1919 crop. 1t
will cost the farmers too much money
in the form of Country damage"
Yours truly,
w. J. Smith.

Dear Sir:
would like to secure your aid
and the aid of your organization in
getting new cotton warehouses built
this summer in your county in order
to put your farmers in position to
avoid the enormous loss in money
suffered in 1918 account weather
damage to cotton they did not or
could not warehouse. If any farmer
or farmers in your county will build
plantation or community warehouses
this summer, according to the en-
closed specifications, there will be
no trouble about getting these ware
houses into the State Warehouse
System.
Besides avoiding loss due to
weather damage to their cotton,
farmers can warehouse it in the
State System where it will be insur-
ed against fire.
| need not tell you that State
Warehouse receipts are excellent
collateral for loans at all banks.
l hope that you will bring the mat
ter of building plantation or COM
munity warehouses, to be units in
the State Warehouse System, to the
attention of your Chamber Of Com

CORN SCARS HIGH |. ON CANADIAN RISE IN WHEAT FIGURES
Oats Drop Into Same Rut, While Provisions We're 22c
 Off to 40c Advance
By As.ssl.,,a Pr,u

Chicago, December 2s.-Corn prices went up with rush today, stimulated by notice that quotations on wheat in Canada had been suddenly elevated 50 cents a bushel. The close here in the corn market was firm. 5sc to axe net higher. with January $1.305s 6131 and May si.2sSs O @1.29%. Oats gained 15S e to 2Ssc. In provisions, the outcome varied from g cents decline to 40 cents advance.
 For brief time before it was gen. erally known that the Canadian gov ernment had given big lift to wheat values, the corn market here was in clined to sag. During the rest of the day, however, except shortly after midday, the bulls were in control. The late show of weakness. like the earlier one, proved to be only transient and was aseribed to a sharp advance in call money. Support developed on the break and left the market in the end at virtually the topmost point of the day. Some talk of export demand for corn was heard.
 Oats displayed independent strength as result of heavy buying on the part of houses with seaboard and Winnipeg connections.
 Provisions. as well as grain, were bullishly affected by the hoisting of Canadian prices on wheat. The lard market, though, failed to hold.

CALL MONEY RISE
 UNSETTLED COTTON FIGURES YESTERDAY
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of 2 to 40 Points Under the
 Close of Saturday
By Associated rrss,

New York, December 2s-The advance in call money was quite sharp break in prices, with March selling off to s5. BOG and closing at 355oc, as compared with 35 95c, the closing quotation of Saturday. The general list closed steady at a net de- cline of p to 4o points.
 Liverpool fully met the local advances of Friday and Saturday on present crop deliveries and the market here opened at on advance of 8 10 26 points on the more active months, while August was 55 points higher and October points lower. The demand from shcrts was much less active after the heavy covering movement of late last week, however, and prices eased right after the call under realizing and scattered southern selling. The latter was supposed to be partly to hedge spot hold ings or to liquidate mill contracts, but after showing net losses of about 25 to e points the market rallied on trade buying or near months and covering. The large exports for the day were an encouraging feature and Japanese interests were buy CTS of May and October. but after selling about 9 to 8 points higher the market weakened again on the unsettled tone of the stock market and fear of higher money rates. May sold off to 33,35c and July to 31.s4c, making net declines of about g to 75 points in the late trading. but there were closing rallies of 20 to 90 points on covering. Nervousness over the money market situation was increased by rumors that there would be an ad- vance in the federal reserve discount rates and cable advices reporting expecta- tions in London financial circles of higher Bank of England rates.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 29.-During the greater part of the session today the cotton market was at the advance, but late in the day it broke sharply under higher rates for call money in this coun- try and went to net declines on most of the active months. The close was irreg- ular 19 points net lower to 5S points net higher.
 The opening was at the advance in sympathy with the rise in New York over the holidays in this market and buying increased after the call on reports that the trade was buying and on statements from mill centers on both sides of the Atlantic that manufacturers were doing ar extremely large business for many months ahead The large export move ment for the day also helped values. so that at the highest levels the trading months were 46 to 115 points above the level of last weeks close, July being the strongest month and trading up to s30Sc The break toward the close carried the market off until it stood 34 points lower to 28 points higher than the final prices of last week.
 Exports for the day amounted to 77, 2Ss bales, against only 5327 bales this day last year, and were accompanied by pre- dictions of a continued large movement during the remainder of this week as the result of clearing up the business of the old year.
