Sec. 30. That an order bill may be negotiated by any person
in possession of the same, however such ix)Ssession may have been

delivery.
Sec 31. That a person to whom an order bill has been duly
negotiated acquires thereby
(«) Such title to the goods as the person negotiating the bill to

value, and also such title to the goods as the consignee and con-signor
had or had power to convey to a purchaser in good faith
for value ; and

Sec. 32. That a person to whom a bill has been transferred, but
not negotiated, acquires thereby as against the transferer the title

transferer. If the bill is a straight bill, such person also acquires
the right to notify the carrier of the transfer to him of such bill,
and thereby to become the direct obligee of whatever obligations
the carrier owed to the transferer of the bill immediately before
the notification.
Prior to the notification of the carrier by the transferer or trans-feree
to the goods and the right to acquire the obligation of the
carrier may be defeated by garnishment or by attachment or
execution upon the goods by a creditor of the transferer, or by a
notification to the carrier by the transferer or a subsequent pur-chaser
from the transferer of a subsequent sale of the goods by
the transferer.
A carrier has not received notification within the meaning of
this section unless an otficer or agent of the carrier, the actual or
apparent scope of whose duties includes action upon such a noti-fication,
shall be effective until the officer or agent to whom it is
given has had time, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, to
communicate with the agent or agents having actual possession or
control of the goods.
Sec. 33. That where an order bill is transferred for value by
delivery, and the indorsement of the transferer is essential for
negotiation, the transferee acquires a right against the transferer
to compel him to indorse the bill, unless a contrary intention
appears. The negotiation shall take effect as of the time when
