In connection with bills of lading there is another point on which the opinions of both - ebippers and bankers have been a good desl confused, viz: as to advances on shipmente. Somo recent, decisions, however, seem to settlo _ this point, that the first advance on o bill of lad- ing bocomes a licn on tle property which can- Dot bo escaped. A caso is cited by an Eastern peper, in which Smith & Co., of Oswego, bought grain in Milwaukeo; their sgout thero furncd it . over to the Wisconein Firoand Marine Insur- ance Company, which advanced on it and sent o timo draft on $mith & Co., and also the bill of lading, to the Merchants’ Bauk of Watertown, ithout specific instructions, as it appoars. That benk ecnt the draft to Smith & Co, for acceptance, aude also tho Dbill of lading, with = tho understanding that tho grain was to bo placed in elevator al Oswogo; on the contrary, aiter sccepting the draft and before it matured, Smith & Co. shipped tho rain to Nov York nnd obtained an advance from avid Dows & Co. on the new bill of landing. Bmith & Co. did not pay ; hence the Company which_first advarced on the grain sued the lnet- named firm and obtained judgmerit for $34,594. PAST-DUE PAPER. _ Several of the Eastern’ commorcial papers are - giecussing tho question as to whother tho in- darser of a note can be beld, if the bank extends the paper. Tho general opinion is_that the ex- tension of & noto to any time after maturi xakes o new contract, to which the indorser is 1ot a party, and therefore relcases him from Liability aftor matarity. .

The New York Journalof Commerce shows that the question of payment of incoms tax on dividenda for the first eoven mouths of 1870 is still in & muddle: _Thio Supremo Court recently affirmed tho de- cision of the United States Circuit Court in the Ponneylrania circuit in tho caso of tho Reading Railrond_sgninst Bames. The decision was against tho collection of insoxe tax on conpons snd dividends for tho first seven months of 1970, and was given in the court, below by Jus- tice Strong. When it came to the Supremo Court the detision was_given by eight judges, o wero evenly divided in their viow of tho isw of tho case, Justice Strong being ome of those in favor of sustaining the_court below. This ruling is_perplexing, and does ot scttlo tho matter, oxcopt in the cases that camo up with that upon which the decision was read. “ As 3 consequenco each case 1hat will come forward horeafter will be tested on its merits.
