Tentative Agreement Is
Reached Between Proni :
nent Bankers and Mem
bers of, the Reserve Board.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. PA tentative
agreement was reached tonight be-
tween bankers and members of the
Federal Reserve Board, by which a
fund of one hundred and thirty five
million dollars can fbe raised to care
for the surplus cotton crop, and extend
aid to the cotton producers. The plans
are slightly different from the original
but the loans will be made on cotton
ct six cents per pound, and at interest
of not more than six per cent for the
year, with the privilege of a six
months extension.
The reserve board will directly sup
ervise the fund, probably operating
through a committee of bankers, and
business men. The details were not
disclosed. New York bankers agreed
to subscribe fifty million dollars, and
southern banks are counted on for thir-
ty-five million. The remaining thirty
million will be raised in non-cotton
producing states.

resolution ending the session at 4
o'clock this afternoon

the filibuster, Senator Smith, of Geor-
gia, and Representative Henry of
Texas told the Senate and the House
it was apparent that no quorum could
be procured for consideration of the
cotton measures and further o0struc-
tive tactics might injure the chances
of ultimate success. Senator Smith In
troduced a bill for two hundred and
fifty million dollars government bond
issue to buy cotton. The House adopt
ed a resolution authorizing the ap
pointment of a committee to investi-
gate cotton conditions and report a

progressed to the point where the re-

nounce that unless some now unfor-
seen contingency occurs, tho bank will
be re-opened sometime between Nov.

This announcement Is OF course not
definite one, as the committee has
not been given to making announce

about the time that the reOrganizers
hope to have the institution again open
for business.
Almost all of the stock has been
subscribed, much Of the money for
some has been paid in, the balance is
to be paid this week and just as soon
as the last stock payment is made, the
officers will be elected, the cleric cal de-
tails will be disposed of, and the bank
will reopen. The mass OF detail in
such cases will require several days
hard work after the stock suosCrlp-

fore necessary that these payments be
made this week if the bank is to open
before Nov. 10.
