KN0TTY PROBLEMS UP
TO RESERVE BOARD
Even Before Assuming Regular Du-
ties They Plan Exchange and
Probably Cotton Solutions.
Baltimore and Ohio Earnings-Gen.
eral Financial News and Cos
sip of the Street.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

1t is evident that the FEDERAL reserve
board will. in the future, be the most
powerful economic body i'll the United
States: that to it will be offered all
the knotty problems and nation wide
questions of finance and business gen
orally for solution-Questions that are
too big for settlement in the normal
channels; that its organization was op-
perfume in view of the necessity for
the gold pool to handle the foreign
exchange situation. to furnish a so
luton of the foreign credits tangle
and. if possible. to cut the Gordian knot
that enmeshes the cotton situation.
Able to command the advice. the un-
requited service of the most eminent
men in the American world of busi-
ness. with admitted high talent in
its membership and realizing it's own
position. the federal reserve board
should be one of the greatest powers
for good in the interest of American
prosperity.
Called into being at time unique in
the worlds history, for the special pur-
pose of managing the American cur
rency and financial system, 1t finds it's
scope broadened even before it has
fairly inaugurated it's proper field of
labor. and finds the financial interests
of the nation looking to it for aid and
guidance.
The vote against inaugurating the
new financial law before November 30,
although carried by but two votes,
would seem to indicate that. while con-
ditions are improving, they have not
cleared sufficiently to permit of dis
turbance of capital and reserves, even
such as would follow the opening of
the district reserve institutions on the
partial payment methods worked out
by the board.

Cotton Problem.

ANY solution of the cotton problem,
which leaves the burden On southern
banks, as has been proposed. would"
ing Washington banks today. ''be of
comparatively little use. We have been
in the habit for years of lending on
the cotton crop in January and Febru-
ary, and frequently up to 10 cents a
pound, the figure near, at least, to the
| cost of production. The result Is that
the planter has practically sold his cot
| ton at 10 cents a pound and we, the
| bankers of the south, are carrying the
bag"
| Members of the federal reserve board
handling details are not willing to dis
| cuss freely all details of their plan, but
| it is stated that pool will be arranged
after the manner of the gold pool now
| in existence, with the bankers of the
south bearing the heaviest proportion
of the burden, and. therefore, assuming
| the greater risk. New York banks and
other fiscal institutions are expected to
contribute.
| In the settlement of the exchange
| question banks contributed pro rata,
| the problem being a national one: the
| cotton question being a southern prob
lem, and for that reason special treat
ment will in all probability be asked
| by the bankers of the west, north and
east.
| And the purpose of this fund will be
the relief of southern bankers who are
loaded up with cotton loans. 1t is
reported that the basis on which cot
ton will be accepted as collateral by
the federal reserve board, acting for
the pool will be cents pound. About
$50, 100000 will be needed, and the
federal reserve board will administer,
| thereby again demonstrating impor-
| tance.

American Officials Hope to Find

Tomorrow has been set for the con-

Foreign exchange conditions will be

of American gold obligations to Eu-
rope without actual shipments Of gold

1t was understood here that the main
hope of the American officials is that
they may be able to find some method
of postponing gold payments for sew
eral months. until the twelve federal
reserve banks are in operation and the
and burdens imposed upon
the individual banks of the country
have been shifted and cared for. 1t
has become evident that Sir George
Paish and Mr.. Blackett do not wish to
make an arbitrary demand for imme-
diate cash payments. and that they
