EXPORTS MAY DOUBLE
Representatives of England, France,
and Germany Establish New Credits
at New York Bank With Which to
Pay for More Supplies-Huge Ship
ments Of Grain and Provisions From
Chicago.

NEW YORK, Oct. PA banker Of
standing, who is in a position to see
very great volume of the financing Of
the export trade of the country, said
that exports to the beligerent coun-
tries and others dependent on them
were increasing in such volume that a
doubling of the export trade of the ma
ton within the coming year could be
looked for. This would make the total
exports for the year $5,O00,OO0,0OO, bas-
ed on the figures for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1913.
Important developments showed
that the three great beligerent nauons
England, France and Germany-with
Russia also figuring, were making
strenuous efforts to get in the markets
OF this country the food, clothing, am
munition, and gu supplies, they
need in increasing quantities. The
trade in these supplies that has so far
developed here, said one banker, is on
ly beginning of what may be expected.
Another significant development was
the arrival of representatives of Eng
land, France, and Germany at the
banks with unimpeachable credentials,
who opened up gilt-edge accounts with
credits drawn from the other side, and
Immediately made Withdrawals of large
sums to pay for shipments abroad.
Exports from New York.
On the produce exchange the export
demand for wheat and other grain was
a feature of the market. Chicago is
doing record trade in shipments Of
wheat being estimated at $12,O00,O00
and the purchase of provisions is said
70 be as high as $15,OOO,OOO.
exports from the port of New York
reported yesterday were s3,7S6,399, as
against $2,406, 462 last Friday. The in
crease over the approximate figures for
the same day last year was $1,7S7,3S1.
Ihls increase is considered remarkable
IN view of the gerat reduction in ex-
ports OF cotton, though these are in
creasing.

BIRMINGHAM COTTON MILLS
GET LARGE FOREIGN ORDERS
Plants Running Full Time and Buying

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct 24.-Cot-

continued Mr.. Melbourne, ARE hides
and skins. This fact should be of
special interest to New York as the
greatest fur manufacturing city in the
world.
There could be no more opportune
time than now for American manufac-
turers to establish relations with Rus
sia and after the war is over there is
no doubt that much of such establish
ed now can be retained. The Russians
are favorably disposed toward Ameri-
can products, and they would gladly
accept them in place of German manu-
facturers at this time"
Establish New Credits.
1t was learned that in one large
banking institution a flood of cables,
numbering 1870 to 140, an unprece-
denied amount, had been received from
British and European banking centers
directing the payment here out of cred
its held with this bank of great sums
for foodstuffs and munitions of war.
Payment on an order for 100000
Of ammunition was heard of from an
authoritative source in Wall street, and
another of 100000 for the same ma
terials.

CALL LOAN RATE DROPS
Change of Mere Than $4S,OOO,6 Made
in 60 Days, ReaSsuring Financial
WOrld-May Retire Some Of the EN-
Urgency Currency-PrOgress Of
Si50.00G.000 Cotton Pool.

NEW YORK. Oct. 24-The remark
able showing by the clearing house
banks this week of reserves only $780,
$50 below the legal 25 per cent ratio,
which means the practical wiping out
of a cash deficit of nearly $4S,00,O0O
within 80 days from August IS, had an
extremely reassuring effect on the
financial situation today.
Many banks quoted per cent for
call money, and were less exacting as
to collateral. The prediction was
made that before November the rate
would fall to per cent, and that there
would be active competition on the
part of the interior institutions for
stock exchange loans, both time and
remand.
End of the Deficit Near.
There is every probability that the
remaining deficit viii be wiped away
before the close of next week. 1t was
announced that the Chase National
Bank had retired the last of its out
standing clearing house certificates.
and that the other banks had reduced
their holdings to nominal proportions
The New York banks are seriously
discussing the question of retiring a

which the interest rate under the law
will be increased next month from 8
1-2 per cent, but will not be ready to do
so until the arrangements for the
sf50,00O000 cotton pool has been per-
fected.
Loans TO Be at Per Cent
The final arrangements depend large
Iy upon the attitude of the Federal re-
serve board. About the only difference
that now exists between the Eastern
bankers and those of the South and
West is over the proposed basis of 6
cents a pound upon which advances
viii be made to the planter. New York
bankers think this is too high.
They contend also that the relief
measure should be only temporary. 1t
is agreed that the loans shall be made
at 6 per cent. 1t is possible that the
New York banks will be overruled on

Recently the hundredth anniversary
of the death of Antoine Augustin Par
mentier, who introduced potatoes into
France, was celebrated by the farmers
of his native land. He was the apothe-
cary of the Invalidee, when, following
tho famine of i769. the Academic de
Besancon announced G prize for dis
| covering vegetable which could be
used in time Of famine, Parmentier
won the prize with the indication Of
the nutritive starch of certain plants.
The potato was then unknown in
France. II had been brought from
Peru, but was the object of warnings
by doctors, who attributed to its use
various feyers and even leprous af-
fections. Parmentier persuaded the
government in IT'S to give him farm
for his experiments. From the first
towering of the plants he sent a non.
quet to Louis XVI. which gave the
vegetable It's first popularity.
