LIKELY TO APPROVE
COTTON LOAN PLAN
Reserve Board Discussing
Means to Meet Southern
Situation.

The federal reserve board had before
1t today for formal consideration the
cotton loan fund plan, designed to
meet the situation in the south caused
oy the European war. and government
officials were of the opinion that it
would be approved. It was pointed out
that upon the adoption of the plan
largely depended the success of the
conference between board members,
Sir George Paish and Basil Blackett,
representing the British treasury. and
New York bankers. looking to the ad-
justment of conditions In the foreign
exchange market due to the war and
which were continued today.
The belief was expressed today that
as a result of the conferences the va
rious problems involved would be set
tied without much difficulty.
Ready to Meet British Obligations.
It was thought the fact that American
bankers are ready to meet their obliga-
tions to England in cash would be made
plain to Sir George and Mr.. Brackett. It
Is expected the 500. 900 gold pool al
ready formed and the $50, ,000, ,00G raised
by a syndicate in New York to pay that
city's obligations will be sufficient to sat-
1Sfy England. 1t may not be necessary,
however, to pay the full amount.
It was believed that as another result
of the conference the stock exchanges in
New York and London would not be
opened before the beginning of next year.
but that the cotton exchanges in New
York, New Orleans and Liverpool would
resume operations as soon as possible.
Cotton Plays Leading Part.
It was made plain that cotton must
play a leading part in the discussions.
and for this reason the Importance of
finding bottom for the market. which
the cotton loan fund plan has been de-
signed in part to provide. and the ques-
tion of reopening cotton exchanges
were dWelt upon at length.
Sir George and MT. Bracket, 1t is
said, are confident that British manu-
facturers will be willing to purchase
cotton when convinced bottom Is
reached and that competitors cannot
underbuy them
1t was believed the matter of short
term paper. to tide over the period
until the American debt to England
can be reduced by American commodi-
ties, would be taken up at today's con-
ference. This may be made the basis
Of an arrangement by which the actual
transfer of even part Of the one-hun-
dred- million dollar gold pool may be
delayed several months.
