NO EXCUSE FOR MORE PANICS.

A business panic in this country would be charge able to gross nenciency and derelction of duty on the part of business men and bankers under the improved banking system in force, it de- clared by James S Alexander. President of the Ma uonal Bank of Commerce of New York at a recent speech before the eleventh annual convention of the American Manufacturers Export Association. An swering the charge that bankers fail to cooperate with business in times Of financial stress he said that the action of the banks in conserving credit was the best cooperation they could extend under recent financial conditions.
 The country's credit structure was never better built than it is today he said, and in view of the elasticity given business conditions by the Federal Reserve System the country needs never see another panic. Principles governing the domestic situation. particularly the duty of banks to readjust the credit situation when necessary, apply with especial force tc the expo trade he said. He also expressed the belief that American manufacturers should market raw rather than finished products Europe if a sound basis is be laid for equalzing the existing adverse trade balances.
 ''The peak of credit expansion must
 pass he said, but this does not mean that
 there not ahead of many serious and
 necessary adjustments. There must be
 tablished stable price levels so that business

BALTIMORE, Nh, Aug. %, 1920
To the Editor
Taking advantage Of the recent rainy
spell, the farmers are we'll through with
their tobacco stripping, and are pack
ing and shipping TO the Baltimore
market as rapidly as transportation
facilities aud shortage OF labor viii
permit.
Whereas in the beginning Of the sea-
son the regular commission trade in
Baltimore was naturally receiving the
bulk OF the shipments. the tide has now
turned, and for the past few week the
Maryland Tobacco Growers AsSocia-
ton has been receiving the bulk Of all
tobacco coming 10 Baltimore.
We regret to report that the market
Is not so strong az the present writing,
due 10 the glut OF tobacco coming ON
the market. and for this reason the
Association has not been pushing the
sale OF its members tobacco during
the past ten days.
Further, we want to call the atten-
ton of our members 10 the fact that
the Warehouse is receiving and OPEN
ing tobacco as rapidly as is possible,
but during the past Ten days they have
not been able to open alI of the tobacco
coming in: therefore ito Association
az the present time has approximately
fifteen hundred hugsheads OF recent
shipments waiting to be opened. These
will be opened just as rapidly as pos
sihle We want to call attention to
this in order that our members may
realize the cause for not sending them
hogshead numbers and weights rs soon
as their tobacco is received. 1t viii
now require much more than one half
OF the force of The Warehouse to care
for the Association tobacco alone.
From this can be gained some idea Of
the very large percentage OF the tohac-
co which is now coming to the Associa-
ton.
New members are constantly being
received into the Association. This
month so far over rs new members
have signed up.
Very truly yours,
