ON PIMA COTTON

ON PIMA COTTON LOS ANGELES. August 3-That Los Angeles bankers are willing to fin ance the sSO.OOO0O Pima cotton crop of tho southwest and divert i, to this port thus making thl city a great cotton export center and event. ually a great industrial center, was clearly indicated yesterday.
 Bank officials who attended the banquet at the Cotton Exchange when w. S. Stephens, president of the American-Egyption Cotton Grow. CTS association. explained the neees- sity of obtaining a loan either here or in the south, said there would bA no difficulty if the association can show orders for a reasonable amount O. their crop when harvested
 We cannot, however, be expected 10 make loans on commodities for which market is not certain" said w w. Woods, vice president of the First National Bank.
 While it is true that dealing in Pima county futures" is not permit. ted. there is nothing to prevent the growers association from going out into the market and securing a sufii. cient number of orders for the crop, when ready, to make the redemption of their loans reasonably certain
 Growers Usual Course
 This is the course normally pur- sued by such organizations as the raj. sin and peach growers associations.
 Whether the loan is made or not is strictly up 10 the growers associa. ton. We will aid in every Nay pos. sible.
 We realize that Los Angeles is the logical center for this business, and We want her 10 have it. IL will bring great industries here, probably Pima cotton is used in dozens of ways be- sides making tires, such. for instance, as rubber hose manufacturing. and that of lace goods and bel,ing
 Tt seems logical to assume that cotton, once the route is established. can be shipped through the canal 10 New Orleans more cheaply than b. rail from the point of produc;ion.' another banker pointed out

SUGAR MAY BE CHEAPER
Argentine Supply to Be Laid Down in
New York at 15c Pound

Buenos Aires, June 13.-Based on
the domestic price at which Frederick
j. Stimson, United States ambassador
to Argentina, obtained $4,000 tons of
sugar for the account Of the United
States, plus the transportation cost.
it is estimated the sugar will be land
ed in New York at Is cents g pound.
1t probably will require five ships to
transport the sugar.
President Irigoyen's action in waiv-
ing the expectation restrictions on the
solicitation of Ambassador Stimson is
considered here to have been decided
upon as a special favor to the United
States.
In addition to the sugar obtained
by Ambassador Stimson for the Uni
ted States government it is learned
that private interests have contracted
for total of $4,000 tons for exporta-
tion to the United States.
