16 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. COURT OF APPEALS OF GEORGIA. Argued and Submitted. Empire Life Insurance Company vs. Edna B.

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 ing net losses from 4 to 8 points from the final quotations of Friday.

HAYWARD <£. CLARK’S 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.

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.
