Southern roads push cotton bill reforms for fraud risk
In a statement from page one, southern railroads advocate better methods in issuing cotton bills of lading and report progress with representatives. They support passing the Stevens bill to place fraudulent bill responsibility on the appropriate parties and criticize a clearing lane idea as unsound. European buyers are unlikely to reject U S drafts as cotton and cloth markets remain strong. The South anticipates prosperity, noting New Orleans’ role as a Panama Canal gateway and main southern port.
