COTTON MEN ASK
REFORMS ABROAD
Changes in Methods of Arbi
trating Claims Urged in Res
olutions at Conference.
NEW YORK. July 20 M a meeting
of representative'. of 41 cotton ex
changes of the country at the New
York Cotton Exchange here a ehang"
In present methods used by foreign
cotton exchanges in arbitrating • laims
growing out of cotton shipments abroad,
looking tn more equitable treatment of
American interests, was strongly rec
ommended.
Resolutions were adopted setting
forth the reforms desired by the Ameri
can cotton exchanges, and those reso
lutions were sent to the Liverpool ( ot
ton association and to the Bremen and
Havre cotton exchanges for considera
tion. George W. Neville, president of
the New York Cotton Exchange, who is
to sail for Europe next week, was au
thorized to use his efforts while abroad
to bring about a conference of all Eu
ropean and American exchanges early
in 1913 in an endeavor to arrive at some
working agreement in time for the
crop of 1913-14.
The resolutions regarding the pro
posed reforms in arbitration follow:
Want Experts on Committees,
That Liverpool, Bremen and Havre
arbitration appeal committees, to be
composed of salaried employees of such
exchanges, who shall be expert cotton
Glassers, shall give their entire time to
•uch work and have no other Interest
in any W'ay connected with cotton.
Unless otherwise stipulated In the
contract, arbitration on quality should
be conducted on the basis of ofllciai
dlfTerences ruling in the respective re
ceiving markets on the dates of sale.
Application for arbitration to be
dated and sealed arbitration samples
sent to arbitration committee within
tan days of last date of landing.
An arbitration must be held within
twenty days of the date of application.
That Havre be requested to adopt the
Liverpool and Bremen method of du
plicate scaled samples. That present
ruling of allowing three points for dif
ferences between American uncom
pressed samples and foreign redrawn
compressed samples be changed to an
allowance of one-quarter of middling
and above, and one-half grade on
grades below middling; same to be d<
ducted from any award made and not
to be considered in making the award.
Standardization Asked.
We recommend that all cotton in
terests work toward the standardiza
tlon of classification of American cot
ton of all growths, which shall be
world-wide.
That in all cases when any ship
ments are tared by tho receiver, if no
excess tare is established, all taring
charges must be paid by the receiver,
ineludita the seller's supervision ex
penses.
That examination of bales for excess
tare must be conducted at the time of
weighing said bales, and that in
weighing the tare allowance must be
made for any moisture therein.
That where cotton is arbitrated am!
penalties assessed in addition to the
grade differences the seller shall have
the option of accepting rejection and
replacing in receiving markets within
markets which quality sold.
The shipper shall not be required to
pay any arbitration fees exee.pt w here
the allowances exceed double the
amount of such fee*
In the adjustment of weight out
turned and in the event of cotton being
tared, any deficiency of actual tare
from tare agreed upon shall be de
ducted from any claim for loss of
weight on such shipments.
We reque.st the Liverpool associa
tion to rescind the antiquated rules in
regard to double draft.
That the Liverpool, Bremen and
Havre exchanges be requested to allow
ten days to appeal from arbitration.

NOT AS BAD AS FEARED
S. Melvin Kimbrell, whose wonderful
violin was the subject of an article In
yesterday’s Georgian, said today that his
condition is not as bad as it had been

friends who have written him letters
of sympathy to know that he expects
many years of life, despite his tubercu

Mr. Kimbrell has been taking treat
ment at the Battle Hill sanitarium for
nearly a year, and since being out there
has shown an improvement that bids
fair, to bo steady. Being compelled to
remain away from active business life,
lie took up the making of a violin into
which he has put all his strength and
force, wishing It to go to his four-year.
old daughter, Ruth. She is to learn to
play it during his life and in after
years to have it as a remembrance of
her father.

NHW ¥<>RK, July 20. Weakness in
the English market and greatly im- j
proved weather conditiona in the At- '
lanties and the eastern belt had a very l
depressing effect <»n the cotton market to- i
day, opening prices 6 to 10 points below i
tiie previous close Later in the early
trading the reported prospects of further
general rains in Texas caused a heavy
selling wave to prevail on the market with
a further decline of 3 to 5 points.
Scattered buying after the call caused
a rally of several points, but later local
prof* ssionals and Western interests sold
freely taking profit. Late in the snort
session trading the market became quiet,
with spot interest trading largely on near
crop positions. At the close the market
developed a steady tone with prices show

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW OKI>EANS, July 20. Liverpool
showed surprising weakness today, closing
6 to 7 points lower than due. with spot
prices 5 points low’er; sales 5,000 bales.
Cables reported large continental selling
probable in consequence of political de
velopments. Many explanatory articles
have apejired lately aitt l|ting the mar
ket decline In European standard secur
ities to peaceful reason, principally the
exchange for other values bearing more
interest. These arguments have been
rather offset by a frank admission ap
pearing in the. London press today to tho
effect that the sharp decline in consols is
partially attributed to the naval engage
ment in Turkish waters, and nervousness
over possible European complications.
With foreign mills carrying large re
serve supplies of raw material and goods,
tho apejuanco of any real menace to peace
would create a huge hedge selling move
ment, paiticularly as we are on the
threshhold of another supply.
Our market declined in the early trad
ing to 12.50 for October, hut met a rather
bad demand on the decline, and soon ral
lied to 12 58. Bullish opinion lately seems
to have developed much more strongly
than appears on the surface. There is a
growing belief that the crop east of the
Mississippi river, with the exception of the
Carolinas, is in such a condition that only
unusually perfect weather can make it
produce a good yield. It is feared that a
sudden change to excessive heat and sun
shine would cause as much damage as
continued rains. Georgia. Mississippi and
'l’ennessee are expected to show ooiisid
bureau report.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat’s
summary: The news from the fields con
tinues bullish enough, but the technical
position at the moment lends weight to
the bear argument. Liverpool appears to
be disposed to put on the brakes until
more conclusive evidence of actual dam
age to the crop shall be forthcoming, and
New York seemed Inclined to follow suit.
In New (irleans, however, where first hand
Information as to crop conditions in va
rious parts of the belt is daily dis
tributed. sentiment has become somewhat
tinged with bullish ideas. In the event
that clearer weather does not shortly pre
vail in the central ami eastern portions
of the belt, another drive on the short
interest in the market maj’ be reasonably
anticipated. The otttside public Is be
coming more interested in the crop situa
tion, and the orders received from this
source are almost invariably to buy. It
must be admitted, too, that the occasional
trader on the outside is acting discreet
ly. and prefers to buy on recessions than
to risk the market at the top. All ele
men of a big speculative movement in
cotton tire at hand apparently, but lead
ers on the bull side are lacking. That is,
they have not taken a commanding posi
tion so far.

made further concessions. Erie preferred j
was % up at the beginning, but lost its |
advance upon the first few transactions. !
Canadian Pacific was off % as a result ;
of selling in London. Lehigh Valley wade ;

lower. Baltimore and Ohio, Atchison, !
Pennsylvania and others made fractional I
gains.
