NEW ORLEANS GAIN |SNOT MAINTAINED Cotton Starts Off Well But
 Prices Become
 Heavy

New Orleans, April 3o.-The price of cot ton was advanced in the early trading to- day, but the gain was not well main tained. Profit taking became rather heavy later in the day, and in the afternoon the market did not take the offerings well. At the best trading months were il to 12 points over yesterdays last quotations. From this there was a gradual sag until prices showed an advance of only to 3 points. The close was at an advance of to points
 The rise of the morning was based partly on private bureau reports on acre age and partly on more rain in Texas. One private report estimated the decrease in acreage at 10.6 per cent and another estimated it at fl per cent. both figures being considerably over what has been expected by most traders. The bullish impression made by the Texas rains was intensified by the forecast of more show CTS to come.

LOAN CAPACITY
NEVER GREATER
Currency Comptroller Makes State
ment Encouraging to Cot
ton Growers.

Washington, Aug. 20,-Comptroller OF
the Currency Williams announced yes
terday that the present unemployed
loaning capacity of the national banks
and reserve banks was sufficient to f.
nance at market value the entire cotton
crop and half. il not all of the tobacco
and wheat crops, and conservatively 20
justify an expansion of credit of two or
three billion dollars.
A statement issued by the comptroller
referred to the prospect for unusual de.
mands for funds, particularly in the
event cotton should be declared contra
band by the European selligerents, and
declared a survey OF the condition of the
national and reserve banks was distinct
ly encouraging. Never before, Mr.. VIII
liams said, had the banks been so strong
and so thoroughly prepared to handle
any problem that might be presented TO
them.
just before the statement was issued,
the British embassy had authorized the
that the allies had agreed
upon the principle that cotton was con-
traband.
