We have comaunicated with Melbourne Branch in regard to
the remarks contained in your letter, No. 727 of the 29th September
last, and now enclose herewith copy of their reply,[...], credit in view of
the fact that it was 'unconfirmed'. In his letter Melbourne Managez
states that he has heard of other Banks having lost large sums of
money by negotiating drafts under similar unconfirmed credits, and
in vier of this knowledge he was naturally not prepared to 1,ct w[...]u.

As you are, of course, aware, there is a c nsiderable
divergence of oeinion even in Banking circles as to the exact mean-
ing of an tunconfrme4 credit.' On some sides it is held that the
issuing Banker merely has the right to cancel it at any time, and
that such cancellation c nnot be made retrospective, and only relat-
es to transactions initiated after the date of cancellation. (in
the other hand the view is held in well informed quarters that the
Banker issuing under the credit is not under any le -1 obligation
to accept the drafts even if negotiated before cancellation.
We have referrd-to a book entitled 'Bankers Credits',
recently issued by Wm. F.Spalding, on pafee 45 of which. ie contained
a reference to this subject. This, however, leaves the question
practically indefin[...]io4s through our Agents in respect of fully confirmed
credits, we naturally hesitate *hen the credits are udconfirmed.
Perhaps you wial nut this view of the matter before our friends the

quest their London Office to circularise their Branches fully on

Dear Sir,
VICTORIAN ORCHARDISTS' CO-OP. ASSN. LTD.

•[...]Mr. Campion, should continue
to act in an advisory capacity in regard to sales of Fruit in London,
on account of the above Association.

We regret, however, that in view o[...]ting him to act in accordance with the expressed wishes of
the Association and hand the whole matter over to the Association's
Solicitors, but personally taking no further part in the Association's
transactions. As you will recollect, in the early stages of this
business, Mr. Campion, together with Mr. Shep[...]all cases found to be in the interests of the Association.
Recently, however, the Association have seen fit to disregard our
London Manager's advice as regards a settlement of the outstanding
dispute with Messrs. Harris Caine and Co., which advice was supported
by us, and which we certainly think would have been in the Associa-
tion's interests.

In the letter from the General Manager of the Association dated
16th instant, copy of which was forwarded by you, it is stated in
effect that Mr. Campion knows nothi[...]about the Fruit busi-
ness, and that the Association prefer to rely on the advice of a so_
cal[...]ceed to litigation. We would
point out that a large overdraft exists which is guaranteed by the
Commonwealth Treasury, and in the event of litigation this overdraft
would probably become stagnant. In these circumstances we feel that[...]are entitled to press their own views on the Association,
and to some extent control the actions of the Association in regard
to the disposal of the Fruit.
As the London Manager[...]should be safeguarded by requesting the High Commissioner
to, in future, supervise the Association's selling transactions.

which we feel would at all times have been in the Association's
best interests, but it would have been[...]to have continued in the capacity indicated when his
advice was disregarded and his knowledge of the particular
business discounted by the Association.
Yours faithfully,

Before puttin this int.) operation we shall be pleased


to[...]ember we have to inform you that the period of delay allowed in the
presentation of cheques is covered by Section 80- (1 and 2) of the
Commonwealt,-. Bills of Rxchanr:e Act, - three copis f ,,hich we are
forwarding you herewith.[...]ur Foreign Agents as 'Cheques' it w-ould
more than likely be that the Imperial Ottoman Bank's Corres ondent
wishes to be advised of tne'Teriod of delay allowed in presentation


of Drafts issued by them.

We have made enquiries through the Commonwealth Crown Sol-
icitor and in other banki circles in this connection, the result
of which confirms our[...]r to be any
statute by the Commonwealth Government coveAng this subject, and
it woul apper that if the matter is not governed by the law of
the country drawn on it would rest with the Banks concerned and
payment of Drafts at any time .would be dealt wit _ accoJ.ding to the
circu[...]ing the Imperial Ottoman Bank that the matter is governed, purely
by the arrangements existing between the Bank issuing the Draft
and the Bank drawn on.

Me before mentioned view is sore :ha strengthened by
the fact that we were some time ago adviseaby the Copenhagen office


of the Den Danske Landraandebank, that according to Danish Law the
Drawer of any Draft in that country is responsible during a period

of twelve months for the 1),ymeict of his !Drafts on Overseas
countries and under which they state the holder has no recourse
on the Drawer although the Draft is still payable by the Drawee
provided the advice of same has not been previously cancelled.
Another case we might mention is in connection with
a Draft issued by Sydney Office on the 23rd July 1919, on th[...]dated too far bac1t.. Upon
writing for an explanation on this matter they advised us under
law 1338 of the 15/28 April (year ?) cheques drawn a[...]st be presented within 100 days after the date of issue,
although under article 15 of the sa le, law the drawee has the right
to effect payment even if the cheque be presented after the spec-
ified time, providing same has nt bee!1 cancelled by the issuing
party.
These two cases we[...]end to confirm the

February, 1922, having been forwarded to me from London.

It if customary for most banks to do this kin,: of business and
to collect allotments, this does not necessitate a messengerbeing
sent round to the P. & 0. Offices each month.
Owing to this note having been forwarded to me, my wife will
not receive any llotments for three months and will therefore cause
great inconvenience to hr pecuniarily.
Had it beensent to the P. & 0. Offices, or to y wtfe, the
allotments would have been paid.
This is not the first time that I have suffered inconvenience

large as my influence.

favour o[...]e, as an Admiralty order hpd just been


issued prior to this making this offence punishable by court-mertial.

These prices are distinctly in advance of market at present and

iVe may mention that though British Stocks since issue Victoria
Loan have risen Colonial Stocks allowing for accrued interest
have fallen 1% to li% and there are larger undigested holding of
Colonial Stocks on market now than at any time during last 6 mon-
ths due mainly to sales by speculative holders. We strongly re-
commend issue 5% at 5 which gives flat yield of E5-5-3 as com-
pared with flat yield today of £5-4-0 from 3ritish 5% rr Loan.
For purposes of comparison following are the flat yields, of
