ress are likely to manifest better
tendencies in the last quarter of the
year. A large part of the weeks call
money was offered at 6 per cent and
further easement of time funds was
suggested by freer absorption of
bankers acceptances and commercial
paper.
Non-essential loans were under con-
tinuous scrutiny, however. not only
by the Federal Reserve Board, but also
by private banks at leading centers
of trade and industry. This tended to
restrict new buying and caused addi-
tional curtailment of production in

cialties.

yield investors a fraction over per
cent.
Other foreign governments recently
entered into tentative negotiations
here for new credits or extensions of
loans already existing. but the terms
imposed in several instances evidently
proved unacceptable to the prospec-
tive borrowers.

FINANCING COTTON
CRUx OF SITUATION
Movement of the Great Crops
Causes Delay in Credit
Relief.
From the wall Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal.
That the financing of the cotton
crop will be the crux of the credit
situation this fall is the general feel
ing in local banking circles. The west
ern and middle western demands for
crop movement, although expected TO
be big. have been pretty well gagged
Interior bankers from these sections
have been to Chicago and New York
correspondents to arrange for their
future requirements and most of the
interior banks in the grain belt are
in lair position to help themselves.
There has been conside rable Roadway
throughout this section in '1oosening
up the former strained commercial
credit position.
Not so with the south. bankers say.
1t Is recognized fact that the banks
there are finding themselves still with
a lot of last years cotton on their
hands. With the new crop, a fairly
large one. about to be moved, it is ex-
pected that extensive calls for assist
ance will be made upon the New York
banks during the next month or two.
1t is the opinion of local bankers
that the height Of this demand will
not come until the end of October.
This period they regard as likely to
be the very peak of the credit de-
mand.
The Trend Of Credit.
The president of a large CONNER
cial bank points out that the follow
ing trends in the credit situation will
be easily definable this year After
the late winter and early spring trade
expansion. a gradual contraction Of
credits developed and was progress
ing quite satisfactorily. though
slowly, until the agricultural de-
mands set in. This represents the
present time. The cotton moving de.
mand is the next encroachment upon
vii last until toward the end of
october. Then the money market, he
says. VIII begin it's downward slide
as regards rates. That will continue
ior an indefinite period.
had II is my my opinion banI he added. that
oountiful crops this year. including
cotton. We should now be expert
encing really easy money"
No Dfsfurbance Expected.
| Asked whether the coming cotton
demands will create any disturbance
IN the money market this banker re-
piled. Not with the federal reserve
system. Few people realize what we
owe to the federal reserve system in
taking care of the postwar credit
crisis. For it was a crisis; and the
reason 1t did not appear so to the
average observer was because of the
quiet and effective functioning of the
federal reserve banks
Money panics are to be measured
by the extent of the credit .expan-
sions that preceded them. The extent
OF the disturbances Of 1898 and Of
1907 were instances in point. When
one considers the enormous credit ex-
pansion that has taken place over
land since the war period, and the fact
that we are gradually bringing about
dedation OF this gigantic credit
structure to more normal conditions
gently and without any semblance of
panic, 1t must be realized what a
great achievement has been accom-
plished by tho federal reserve system.
The country is going to glide from
high money rates into a period of
low money rates without dislocating
business"

HAVE TO WAIT TO- UNLOAD
Shippino CONGESTION at London Docks
Said to Be of an Extraordinary
Character.

A writer to the London Times de-
scribes the Victoria and Albert docks
at Tilbury as being "crowded to their
fullest capac city with big Ships" many
Of which "look absolutely dead for the
simple reason that they can not be I'M
loaded because there Is nowhere to
put their cargoes.;SI OF ships carrying
Australian meat it is said to be "a
common thing to wait anything up to
month for a berth and to lie another
month tied up against the wharf, IN
loading and reloading." 1nefflciency of
labor is in large degree responsible,
for the average discharging output per
shift of Is men in a nine-h0ur day has
been reduced from 100 to 60 tons. The
cause is partly the loss of many good
men in the war, partly loafns on the
job to make work for as many men as
possible Congestion of the ports is
attributed to state control over essen
tial imports, to state control over rail-
roads, and to reduction of the hours of
labor. BY these means the carrying
power Of ships has been reduced at
least 80 per cent below pre-war stand
ards.
