MAY NOT CALL FOR
MORE THAN FOURTH
COTTON FUND SUBSCRIPTIONS By
RICHMOND DOUBLED IN CLOS
ING LIST.

With the assurance that Richmond
could be counted upon to make Its
subscription TO the 135.000.000 cot
ton loan fund 100000 instead of
sI.o00.o 600. the amount allotted to vir-
ginia and West Virginia. Secretary
McAdoo Tuesday night announced
from Washington that the 100000. 600
TO be raised in non cotton producing
States had been secured. Yesterday
morning Mr.. McAdoo asked Richmond
banks to make further subscription.
Within a short time the local COM
mittee notified Secretary McAdoo the
subscription had been increased to
more than 100000. tho following ad-
ditional subscriptions having been
made; First National Bank. $4,000;
Planters. Merchants, and National
State and City Banks, $4,000 each.
Now that the fund has been complet-
ed. the cotton grower can borrow on
his warehoused cotton at six cents
a pound. on presentat ton of his ware
house receipts and proper evidences
of having insured HIS cotton. The loan
fund is administered by a central COM
mittee undor the direction Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board. Six per cent is
charged borrowers and loans are made
for n period of one year
The fund having been completed
there Is now no further excuse for the
grove" TO say he cannot meet his OBJ
legations, as the monn~ he needs can
be obtained. The cotton markets hav-
Ing opened and prices prevailing at
seven cents and above. 1t is hardly
probable that any great demand will
be made on the fund. as many cotton
growers will rather sell now at seven
or above than borrow at six cents a
pound.
Many OF those who have subscribed
- the fund are of the belief that not
rtore Than 25 per cent of the subscrip-
ton viii! ever be called for.
