merce that e felt obliged to decline
for rediscount purposes any paper
which was based on automobiles not
sold for business purposes. The im-
provement over the Kansas City
practice, however, SO far as the state
ment Of Governor nj. B. Welbon goes,
lies ia the admission that Wellborn
favors granting credits on trucks,
tractors, and cars used strictly for
business purposes. AS it was receiv-
ed over the telegraph wire, this state
ment explains:
"In view Of the present strain on the
banking credits Of this district, it is
imperative that we should have an in
telligent and discriminating policy Of
control. We have reached a point
where we must consider affairs from
the point of view of the general eco
nomic interest and to think primarily
in fundamental terms of production of
the necessary things Of life and not
simply in the narrower terms of en-
larged business and increased profits.

TEST COMES IN
ACTUAL SERVICE

The real test of the quality Of an
automobile comes only in actual SER
vice--in its ability to meet emerg-
encies.
1t is this ability, possessed in truly
extraordinary degree by the Essex,
that has aroused the enthusiasm of
more than $4,000 owners.
The smooth flow of power, the sense
of an instantly available and appar-
emily limitless reserve of strength, is
both soothing and stimulating.
It's velvety spring suspension, soft
upholstery, easy acting clutch and
brakes and ease of handling and con
troll rob bad roads and crowded traf-
fic of their terrors and make good
roads doubly delightful.
You relax in the Eessex. 1t sets
you free from taut nerves and tense
muscles and gives you the wonderful
feeling of a noiseless fight through
space.
The power impulses Of the Essex
motor melt and merge into such a
steady flow that you forget the eng
inc that is carrying you forward be-
cause all the usual unpleasant re-
miners of effort and labor are re-
moved.
You only know that hills are high
because you see them--for they seem
to melt away beneath the wheels Of
your car.
All of this is the result Of the pat
ented Essex motor which can be OBJ
tanned in no other car. 1t has brought
new luxury TO motoring as any
Essex owner will tell you.

The automobile business has grown
90 large proportions and consumes
credit and labor in a cowespondingly
large degree, and while I am in favor
Of granting credits for trucks and
tractors and cars used for strictly
business purposes, I do not believe
that the present is the time when the
credit structure should be called upon
to bear the burden Of financing auto
mobiles that are used for pleasure
purposes.
"The purchase of pleasure automo-
biles where people use their own per-
sonal funds or where a dealer sells
cars on time with small cash pay
ments and finances the transactio
with his own resources, is not of direc,
concern but | do believe that the re
sources of the Federal Reserve banl
of this district should not be used fo
such purposes. In view of many firms
and corporations being formed Speei
fcally for financing purchase of cars
by parties unable to pay cash, it has
important bearing on credit situation
because ultimately the load is SHIFTED
upon banks.
while automobile paper technical
" may be eligible, still a Reserve
bank in its discretion may not regart
it as desirable under present circum.
stances. In these times it is neces-
sary to control credit and unless VIZ
take a firm stand the more necessary
demands of production and distribu
ton will be jeopardized by tying UP
our funds in re-discounts that ten.

trade than has been experienced il
other quarters where the statemeni
has been so frank. Kansas City
dealers, for instance, in spite OF
denials that their own Reserve Bank
has adopted any rule against THEN
business, have been unable to get an.
accommodation whatever. Wellbor1
is prepared to admit that trucks ano
tractors are essential, and he ever
goes so far as to admit that there is
a legitimate use for the passengei
automobile aside from its value as &
recreational medium. Equally, he is
seen in some quarters of the trade, as
taking upon himself judicial function

assumed wisely by any one.-Auto-

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, June 29.-While the trading in cotton opened at the ad- vance today, the gains did not last long and during the greater part of the session the market stood at fairly wide decline which, at the lowest lev els amounted to 45 to 65 points, July sinking to 36.60 and October to 32.66. Toward the close there were rather decided recoveries and last prices were at net losses for the session of but 19 to 39 points.
 Lowest levels were reached on pre- dictions that the weekly crop accounts from the government tomorrow would be bearish but late in the session the market recovered on complaints of excessive boil weevil damage in Tex as, some localities in that state claim ing that the weevils were getting all squares that were on by the plant.
