THE HIGHEST RECORD

The exchanges in the New York clear
ing house perfected ON Saturday-the day
after the subscriptions closed-repre-
sented a total of a little over $1,000. 0O0-
900. No record of this kind was ever
made in the clearing house. although at
the time of the flotation of the Anglo
French loan of $500. 100000 the exchanges
perfected in the clearing house were $S6S,
900, Co.,
The marvellous symmetry and perfec-
ton of the machinery by. which the clear
ing House association is able to make
exchanges was never better illustrated
than by the record made on Saturday.
September 2.
At one time. it was the ambition of the
managers of the Clearing House associa-
ton to be able to report that the ex-
changes in a single day exactly bal
anced, SO that 1t was not necessary to
pay any cash. The ambition was never
realized and probably never will be. al
though upon one occasion when ex-
changes were very large the balance was
remarkably small.
On Saturday, September 2, the aggre-
gate of exchanges, slightly in excess of
81 OO0, O0o. 000 was nevertheless settled with
payment in cash of a little under $50.

DIXIE DA|RYMEN
TOWS|T NATIONAL
SHOW IN OCTOBER
Southern Railroad Makes
Arrangement to Run Spe-
cial Train to Springfield,
Mass, to Carry Them

Washington, September 10.-Arrange-
ments have been made by the Southern
railway 20 run special train carrying
dairy farmers and others Interested in
the building up of the dairy interests in
the south to the national dairy show to
be held October 1921 at Springfield.
Mass, at which the Southern will have
an extensive exhibit giving a full pres
entation of the south as a dairy section
at the present time, and as region for
the future development of the dairy in
dustry
The idea of the special train from the
south to the dairy show, which is held
in the east for the first time this year,
is to give southern dairy farmers an OPP
portunity to see how the industry is con-
dvcted in the north and to widen their
outlook by bringing them in contact with
successful dairy farmers and dairy work
ers from all parts of the country, while
a general attendance at the dairy show
on the part of southern dairymen is ex-
pected to do great deal to deucate
the people of the north as to the advan-
tages of the south for the industry.
Pullman cars will be started from CEN
trail points in each state, and will be
made into a solid train into New York
and to Springfield. The special will
start probably on Thursday, october H.
reaching New York on Saturday, October
IA. Already nearly 100 dairy farmers To-
Gated from Virginia to Mississippi have
indicated their intention to become men,
bers of the party. New England people
have contributed $650,O00 for the erection
of buildings at the show and more than
1000 pure blood dairy cattle of the va
rious breeds will be on exhibit, besides
a comprehensive collection of the most
approved implements and machinery used
in connection with the dairy industry.
In connection with the trip, arrange
ments are also being made for stopovers
and side trips to allow the southern
dairymen who go to visit the most inter-
esting milk-producing centers of the
east, including the pasteurizing and dis
tributing plants at New York, the rail-
road warehouses in Jersey City, where
over 2,0O00O0 quarts of milk are shipped
daily to New York by special milk trains,
the Mixter farm, an hours ride from
Springfield, famous for the breeding of
pure bred Guernsey cattle, and Washing
ton where the party will visit the United
States department of agriculture and the
bureau of animal industry

Tuscaloosa Cotton Crop
Said to Be Very Short

Tuscaloosa, September 10.-(Special.)
Mr. and Mrs. Percy Leland and Mrs.
Luther Davis had a narrow escape from
serious injury near Bessener Thursday
when the heavy automobile truck of the
Neuman Produce company ran into their
car. They were badly shaken up, but
no serious injuries resulted from the ac-
cident.
Joe Henderson, convict at the Hem
derson Lumber company camp. in Tus-
caloosa county. made his escape yester-
day while in the forests at work.
Reports received from the farmers of
Tuscaloosa county indicate that the cot
ton crop will be- shorter than was at
first expected. Owing to the floods and
the work of the boil weevil it is freely
estimated that Tuscaloosa will not make
over 5000 bales of cotton this year. This
crop is about one-ffth Of normal crop
in the county. The hay crop is the best
in years and large number of cattle
will be wintered. The cattle tick has
been practically eradicated in the county
and <hA cattle business is steadily grow
ing.

Montgomery, September 10-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The mining of graphite is on

volving 81, 0OO 600, 900 required only $4,000,
900 to settle in cash because swapping
Of checks. so to speak, covered the rest.
Two or three of the banks turned in
record making items. One of them had
a total credit of S247, 1000, 600, round num-
bers but it also had debit of $3.50 900, 900,
so that it only required IS, 900 to liqui-
date these exchanges. One of the banks
was compelled to pay 22000.00O. since its
debts exceeded it's credits by that
amount.
HOW 1T WILL BE USED
Presumably the greater part of the
fund received by j. P. Morgan & Co.
now placed to the credit of Great Brit
ain-represents payments made to Amer
lean industries by the belligerent nations
The credit balance on foreign trade in
favor of the United States is now est-
mated to be equivalent to 500 for each
family of the United States, much of
which was paid for in actual cash, and
it furnishes the banks of the country
directly and indirectly, with deposits
against which they can draw their
checks in payment for their subscription
to the English loan.
Another feature of this loan frequently
commented upon is to be found in the
fact that probably not 81 of the money
will go out of the United States. Not
withstanding the wonderful increase In
the output of munitions of war which
Great Britain and France have been able
to make, there is need of continued pur-
chases of war material as well as of
other commodities. Some part of these,
If not all, will be paid for by drafts
drawn upon the fund of $3.50. 5000 to the
credit of Great Britain which has been
deposited with j. p. Morgan & Co.
Therefore, great as the loan is, it is
likely to be absorbed by the American
people in payment for commodities
bought in the United States.
