Syllabus

<p>Warehousemen. Loss of goods. Notice of arrival.</p> <p>When a compress company did not know of the shipper’s custom to insure cotton upon its arrival at warehouses under a blanket policy, and no general custom to that effect among those engaged in the cotton business was shown, it was not liable for the value of cotton destroyed by fire while in its warehouse because of its failure to promptly notify the shipper of the arrival of the cotton as requested by the shipper.</p>
