Memphis banks pledged their sup
port to the Mississippi Delta Cotton;
Export and Trading corporation
Monday afternoon, when officers .or
the corporation discussed its affairs
with general of the Mem
phis Clearing House association.
The vote OF support made by the
bankers means that the corporation
may depend upon Memphis banks to
lend not only moral but materiat
support to the movement. IN the
case Rhere local banks may have
customers who desire to ship cot
ton through the trading corporation
the bank will assist in placing the
cotton at the disposal of the cor
poration. The shipper may subscribe
for stock through his. local bank,
which will attend to all the details
of>stock purchases.
While It is not contemplated that
a shipper must purchase stock in the
concern to get the corporation to
handle his cotton, 1t will be the pol
icy Of the concern to give preference
to its stockholders in the matter or
making shipments. ~ ~
I'm the case where a shipper may
have rendered his cotton for ship
ment, the local bank will be asked
to hold the warehouse certificate in
escrow, as 1t were, pending settle
merit for the cotton. The title to the
cotton q rests with the shipper
throughout its journey from the
warehouse across the seas, through
mills in CZecho- Slovakia and on IN

In the name Of the shipper, the trad
ing corporation acting only In the
capacity of broker. A certain toll
will go to the mills for spinning the
cotton into yarns and cloths and q
certain amount will go to the cor
poration for its trouble and expense.
The net proceeds, after these allow

Returns in Six Months.

period of not more than six months
