Decision OF the Secretary OF the
Treasury ls the Direct Result
OF the Cotton and To
bacco Conferences.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Nc
Adoo, Of the Treasury Department, has
decided to accept from national banks,
through their respective national cur
rency associations, notes. secured by
warehouse receipts, for cotton and to-
bacco, and having not more than four
months to run, at rs per cent. of their
face value.
This is the direct result of the cot
ton and tobacco conference, suggested
by Senator John Walter Smith, and
which was attended by delegates from
the Southern States, The purpose of
the conference was to find way to
prevent the sacrifice of the Southern
cotton crop on account of the war in
Europe, and to similarly protect to-
bacco. According to the plan an
nounced by Secretary McAdoo, it win
be possible to store large quantities
of cotton and tobacco which win be
withheld from the market during the
war, or until good prices can be OBJ
tanned for these products. To do this
the growers Of tobacco and cotton
must have funds to carry the cotton
and tobacco until 1t can be sold, and
these funds will be obtained from
bankers OF the basis of warehouse re-
eeipts which are to be accepted by the
banks as eligible securities for
emergency currency to be issued by
the banking associations.
