F1PsT CLASS SECURITY.

Der 10, 1889.
FIPST CLASS SECURITY.
Under the provision of this act cotton
deposited or stored in a bonded ware
house becomes absolutely safe security
upon which to secure money from
bank. Farmers who desire to hold back
a part of their cotton from the usual
glutted market in the fall months when
heavy receipts depress prices, can store
their cotton ,have receipts issued there
for and borrow money from any bank on
said receipts at three fourths the market
value of the cotton, thereby relieving
themselves of the necessity of selling
such cotton in case money is needed TO
meet pressing obligations.
A bonded warehouse receipt will Sc
cure money from bank at less rate
of interest than the ordinary warehouse
receipt, because the security offered is
safer, in fact is about as safe as a gov
crnment bond, as such receipts would
not be negotiable unless the cotton was
fully covered by insurance. The local
banks in every community are always
glad to advance money to farmers on
their warehouse receipts, consequently
there is no occasion to have the cotton
dumped on the market as rapidly as
einned, When it can be so advantageous
ly used as a safe collateral to borrow
what money may be needed temporarily.
In those communities where the lnteg-
rity of the local warehouseman is known
and the local banks are willing TO ad-
vance money on receipts at as low rate
of interest as if the warehouseman was
bonded there is, of course, no need to
bond the warehouseman, but it is fact
worthy of mention that the safer the Sc
curity the lower the rate OF interest
charged. warehouse receipt marked
bonded" across its face is negotiable
in New York or any large city as read
lily as it is at the points OF its issue 50
that the means are thereby provided FOR
farmers generally to secure money on
their cotton without their being forced
OF sell it, as is usually stated by the
public.
1t is now quite evident that the cotton
crop being harvested at present Will not
be large enough to meet the worlds re-
ouirement for American cotton during
the next twelve months If the crop is
marketed slowly the price will rapidly
advance and the producers will be large
~ benefited. Heavy receipts will con-
tinue to depress the price of the staple
in the future as it has in the past, no
matter what the size of the crop or the
demand lby the mills. We want hlgh
prices for the producers who have been
put to such heavy expense to make the
crop. and they should use every effort
in their power to checkmake the specu-
lators who are using such earnest en-
deavors to hammer down prices in the
face of a short crop.
