NEW COTTON CORPORATION
$12. 5000 for Financing Crop and
Exports-Formed Under
Edge Act.

Washington.-Plans for the organl-
cation Of a $4,000. 900 cotton export
and crop financing corporation were
adopted at a meeting here last week
OF bankers and representatives OF cot
ton interests attending the convection
Of the American Bankers association.
The meeting approved suggestions con-
tanned in q report OF a committee
headed by Robert F. Maddox, Atlanta
| banker, to move at once in the direc'
ton of preliminary steps toward or.
ganizing the corporation. Tentative
arrangements provide for the payment
of half the capital stock. or an initial
working fund of s5,OO0,00O capital and
81, 100000 surplus.
Those who signed the committee re-
port, which was agreed TO, were, be-
sides Robert F. Maddox OF Atlanta,
ID. NJ. Armstrong of Memphis, ]. A.
Pondsom of Houston, Tex. R. S.
Hecht of New Orleans, ]. S. High.

lumbia, S. c.; Tom .. Smith, Birming-
ham; Moorehead Wr'gh: of Little
Rock, Ark, and l. Elwood Cox, High
Point, N. c.
Capital subscriptions. the plans sug-
gest, will be based on an assessment
of 81 a bale on cotton raised in the
respective states, thereby making the
organization one of influence through
out all territory which has had diff
Guilty in financing the movement of the
cotton crops. The decision to call for
the initial payment of only half the
total capital means, therefore, that the
subscriptions will be pro-rated among
the purchasers of stock on the basis
of so cents per bale.
1t was made clear by speakers at
the meeting that the purposes of the
corporation, which will be organized
under the Edge act amending the fed
eral reserve act, is not to hold the
cotton crop, but to insure that the COM
modify be moved at time when the
market is stagnant"
Under provisions OF he Edge act
the corporation is enabled to handle
trade cceptances-agreem OF the
purchasers-to the amount of ten
times its capital and surplus, or in
the case OF the proposed corporation,
the ability to handle acceptances of
cotton purchasers to the amount OF
S60,O0O,000 Although there was no
specific mention made. here were in
dications that reorganization Of the
corporation .s~,ld Immediately onar
the way for The sale of cotton In Eu-
