T1 " (ihesterfield and ' .anc \ster Railroad, through it's operating co - pany, the Seaboard Airline, has di? ^ dared a cotton embargo, The refusal to handle cot; 01 <>r to ] receive same for shipment went into effect Tuesday afternoon ?>.d I.oca I Freight Agent J. M. Stanley gave out the information that it was to ] last from 72 hours to live days. Just how seriously this will etfect the local cotton mar! et is not yet np- ( parent. If it lasts no longer than a | few days it will not have any effect. On the other hand, if it should run on ^ for any length of time its results would he felt by'the entire communi- j ty. When an embargo is declared tin c railroads stop accepting cotton for shipment and does not, therefore, give bills of lading. Iliils of lading, being negotiable, are necessary to the transaction of large buying for (| any length of tin e, as the cotton re- ( mains on the buyer's hands, depriving him of the use of the money invested; ^ thus in some cases preventing further buying until such time as the roads y will again accept goods for shipment. None of Chesterfield's buyers have j signnied any intention of stopping > buying as yet. Sales have been heavy since and before the c mbargo. The cotton yards arc becoming I y '>a<lly congested and on Wednesday afternoon it was estimated th.it there j was between $150,000 and $.100,000 . worth of cotton on the local yards. Hills of lading had been given < n .. . trood part of it before th-- embargo. 'lhe reason given by the oeabord , is a shortage of cats. It is thought l?y many that the real reason is re- j laliation. Last week there was a shortage < ears for seed. The South Carol'iia Railroad Commission, realizing the perishable nature of this eommodity, ordered the Seahourd * <> rortltwith ^ supply ears sufficient to transport all cotton seed that was offered for ship- , meat. This the Railroad has done. Hut with the hauling of seed the handling of eotton teased. Cotton, ( not living lite same peri. hal.le na.uro as seed, need not be hauletl at once. Very little inconvenience would h< felt from a reasonable delay in actually hauling the eotton,hut it'. <|u:l a different matter when the buyers are refused bills of lading. In view of the foregoing .Mr. C. I.. Flunley on Wednesday sent the fol- . lowing wire: ( 'hesterlield, N.C., Oct. .s, IDC Hon. W. K. Stevenson .Member of Congress, Washington, I). C. Upon re(|uest of cotton seed buyers the South Carolina Railroad Commission last week ordered the Seaboard to furnish ears to Chesterfield. The Seaboard retaliated today by laying ~~ in embargo against shipment of eotton from ('hesterlield. See Director General. C. L. llunley.
