Financial assistance offered to
Wyoming wool growers by the Federal
Reserve Board is both unsatisfactory
and disappointing, as Is evidenced by
the following message received by a
Casper bank: "a member bank NAV
accept drafts arising out of domestic
shipment of goods, or secured by read
lily marketable goods in storage, in
amount a~ggregating so per cent of its
capital and surplus. At this time ac-
ceptances based on wool in storage
awaiting higher market are considered
undesirable, since the Federal Reserve
Act does not contemplate their use
for speculative purposes, therefore we
are not d%iscounting such paper. The
bankers acceptances secured by read
lily marketable staples In warehouse
are designed to provide means for
carrying of staples while awaiting
shipment of manufacture, not for pur-
pose of holding for higher prices"
Woolgrowers declare that 1t has cost
them more than Is cents a pound for
shearing alone, while other producing
expenses are the highest In the history
Of the industry. The Federal Reserve
Board does not recommend that loans
on wool be made for more than ninety
days.
