ere not properly responoI'S
to the. federal reserve board ruling that
money should be loaned on cotton at
G per cent. also came in for heated
arguments by the junior senator. He
explained that he had recently been
in Washington In session with the re-
serve board, and that while there, at
his suggestion, the board had agreed
that the stream Of money available for
discOunting cotton receipts would be
shut Off from that bank which dis
counted cotton paper at higher
rate Of interest than 6 per cent. Such
ruling, he added, precluded the idea
Of the banks acquieScence In the pro-
vision Of the law as being optional.
The banks were compelled to comply,
he asserted, to remain an active part
of the federal reserve system.
1T seems that you just cant drive
it into the bankers head that they
can discount any volume Of cotton
receipts, irrespective Of the size Of
capital stock or assets Of the bank"
he continued. "If the cotton Is prop
erly insured, and graded and placed
where there will be no exposure to
weather conditions, by the provisions
OF the law the cotton is n banking
asset, and the bank is compelled to
discount the paper at 6 per cent
This discounted paper Is then sent or
to the reserved bank and rediscounted
mt 3 per cent. And any bank can dis
count S5.O00.OOO worth of commercial
paper If 1t should be called on to do s"
There's no limit. just so the farmer
complies with the provisions OF tho
law in housing, insuring and grading
his cotton. The central reserve banl
issues n steady stream Of notes to dis
count this paper, and the capital Of {
member bank has absolutely nothin,
to do with the volume OF paper it dis
counts on cotton. The notes are ISSUED
on three-fOurths OF the market value
OF the cotton"

serve act which places cotton in tn

SMITH PREDICTS
RISE FOR COTTON
WILL GO BEYOND Is CENTS
Junior Senator Tells How Banks Can
Aid Movement Of Crop. Heavy
War Orders.

Columbia, Sept, 27.-"Cotton will
certainly so beyond Is cents. Just
how much l wont say, nor will l re-
peat what said to Columbia Banker
this morning. But cotton is going
above ID cents a pound.
The above was United States Sena.
tor +. ID. Smiths optimistic summary
Of the cotton situation when in Co.
lumbia Saturday. His conclusion, lie
explained, was based on two factors:
One that the 1915 crop will not be
more than 1O,5OO,OOO bales; the other
the eXorbitant demand for cotton for
the manufacture Of war munitions.
which Is becoming more urgent each
day to meet heavy orders from Europe,
plus the impending crisis in Mexico
and the appeal for increased armament
III the United States, Incident to
threatened complications with Europ-
ean countries.
Senator Smith also made q striking
analogy between the present crop and
that of 1914. Last year we produced
more than 100000 bales. DESPITE
the decentralization Of the European
spinners and the fact that the cotton
exchange were closed large portion
OF the season, we have consumed pract-
lcally all Of last years crop. This year
we Wen market only about 1O,5OO, 900
bales Yoa can draw your own con.
