Treasury Primer Explains
How Bank Act Operates

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA nation
al banking act primer, translating
the new currency law for the benefit
of bankers, was issued to-day by the
Treasury Department.
The involved phraseology OF the act
is quoted and underneath is written a
layman's version Attention is called
to the fact that all national banks are
required to signify their acceptance of
the provisions of the act and all other
eligible banks are permitted to do SO.
Until Federal reserve banks have
been definitely located by the organ
ization committee, this step is all that
Is necessary on the part of bankers.
Later a form OF application Will be
mailed to be executed by the banks.
Subscription of stock will not be
called for until the preliminary or
ganization steps have been taken.
Stock subscriptions Of national
banks in Federal reserve banks are
required within 80 days after the or
ganization committee has designated

the cities in which Federal reserve
banks are to be located. Notification
of acceptance of the terms of the
new banking law must be filed within
50 days after the passage of the act
by national banks.
Bankers are advised that these time
limits are inviolate. and that at the
end of twelve months the charters of
those banks falling to comply with the
provision of the act will be automat-
ically forfeited.
State banks are not required to
signify within any given time their
intention to become members. They
are permitted to do so If they desire
to become members as soon as the
Federal reserve banks are originally
organized.
State banks and trust companies
signifying their intention of becoming
members of the Federal reserve sys-
tenn before the organization of the
Federal reserve banks will be permit
ted to participate in the selection of
directors in these banks.

COTTON STRONG
ON RECORD j. {.
co NSUM P 7 ION
New Orleans Market in Impreg-
nabIe Position-SuppIy Is
Likely to Fall Short.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 14.-To-
days cotton market was treated to a
surprise in the shape of a decidedly
bullish report by the Census Bureau
on supply and distribution of cotton
for January. Consumption during
January, it was shown, was SAL, 900
bales. even larger than the record
breaking consumption for January a
year ago, which was $50, 900 bales.
Market statlsticians figure that
should consumption continue on the
present scale something over 10000
600 bales will be needed to feed the
ever-increasing number of spindles. In
the United States the number of spin
dies now in operation is 31,112,7 1923, as
compared with 30,336,000 a year ago.
Against the probable requirements
of 100000 bales the present crop
points to only about 14500,000 bales,
a large proportion of which consists
of very low grades and damaged cot
ton, which undoubtedly will reduce
the spinning value of the crop to a
material extent.
South's Position Solid.
The position of Southern spot hold :
ers, under such conditions, appears to
be impregnable, and there is hardly
any doubt that the cotton now
being held by farmers and interior
merchants will command much higher
prices before the season ends.
Bears are counting on the new crop
coming to their rescue, but the def
cheney of rainfall in some sections of
the belt, especially Texas, indicates
the probability of a wet spring, which
would mean q backward start for the
new crop
This market showed a much better
tone than New York to-day, and 1t
was evident that the large short in
terest which has accumulated in that
market in the course of the recent de-
cline is fighting the advancing ten
dency shown by Southern cotton mar
kets within the last few days.
Bulls Are Encouraged.
At one time to-day the local mar
ket was points up on the July posi-
ton, while New York was up only :
points on the same month. A very
bullish revision OF spot differences in
this market during the week has en-
couraged the bull leaders, Frank b.
Hayne and w. P. Brown, and there is
some talk that cotton will be demand
ed on March contracts.
Fear on the part of the SHORTS that
actual cotton will be calico for has
caused a relative enhancement of 5
points on the March position as com
pared with July, while the May posi-
ton has almost gone to a parity with
July. In the net result to-day, this
market recorded gain of points on
the active month with the closing
tone steady.
Spots were officially reported steady
and unchanged. Sales were surpris-
ingly large for a Saturday, being 1,520
bales of spots and 1000 bales to ar
rive, on the basis of Is cents for mid
ding.
Interior spot markets ruled steady
also, Houston being lie higher

the supply was unusually short ow-
ing to the drouth of the previous
year"
The following figures show that
there has been an enormous increase
in the importation of potatoes since
the new tariff act went into effect on
October 4: July, 5,31O bushels; Au-
gust, 10,411 bushels; September, 8,106
bushels; October 472,O52 bushels:
November, 1884, 1929 bushels
Concerning the number Of beef cat
tie in the United States the report
says that there has been a consider
able decline in the number of beef
cattle and an increase in price since
1910
IN 1910 the number of beef cattle
amounted to 41,17S,000, and on Janu-
airy /. 1914, the number was 1885,
600 The imports of beef increased
from 6,000,735 pounds in October,
1918, to 11,S20,8S9 in November, and
to 16,074,520 in December, thus
showing that the new tariff has led
to largely increased imports and
this applies as well to pork and NUT
ton.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE bear side
of the wheat market was the more
popular to-day, and not only the pro-
fessionals, but commission houses,
filled good sized selling orders from
scattered sections of the winter wheat
belt. The buying was largely by peo-
pie having profits The ideal crop
promise in the Southwest probably
was the leading bear factor.
Late in the session it was learned
that sale had been made of $50,
bushels of No. / Northern wheat in
the harbor at Duluth to go to Buff
falo at the opening of navigation in
the spring. This wheat was gener-
ally believed to have been taken by
exporters.
There was hardly any change in
the corn market at Chicago to-day.
There were small price recessions,
brought about by reported larger of
terings OF the cash article at Kansas
City and st. Louis.
Receipts of corn at Chicago this
week were 2,102. 900 bushels. while the
shipments were only 774,000 bushels
Oats were fractionally lower in
sympathy with the weakness in corn
The cash transactions were light at
10000 bushels, and speculative trade
was narrow.
Provisions were higher all around
with the strength in hogs, and the
buying by shorts, coupled with small
err offers in the pit. were the leading
influences

Cotton MovesSteadily
Upward During Week
Range Is About 80 Points in New
York Market-LiverpooI
About Unchanged.
By EDWARD LOW RANLETT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The cotton
market this week has had a steady,
but seemingly sure upward trend.
The range has been something under
80 points, May selling at I'LL early
in the week and on Friday at 11.S7
before the noon hour.
There was no special reason for this
movement which seemed to come
from the buying of the short in
terest and the wide differences be-
tween New York prices and Southern
spot markets which have long dis
played strength.
The census figures on supply and
distribution issued to-day showed &
domestic mill consumption of 540,874
bales for the month of January
against 533,743 bales last year. The
stock of raw material in manufactur-
ing establishments at the end of jan
uary was 1851, 495 bales against
1,912993 a year ago. Stocks in indie
pendent warehouses 2,900,149 against
2,657,04 bales at the end of January
last season.
There were general rains over the
belt to-day and tonight rain con-
tinued to fall at many points in the
Central and South Atlantic section.
Liverpool futures closed quiet and
unchanged to " point lower. Spot
cotton is in limited demand, prices
steady at l point advance for mid
ding. Sales of 1000 bales of actual
cotton were made in that market to-
day.
