II the result mentioned below in the
cotton markets Of the country when
the War Finance Corporation was re-
created by act Of Congress on the
fourth Of the present month.
The following dispatch from the
National Capital under date Of Jan
uary ith is indicative of new life
in business, and new spirit in Ma
tional industry
The jump Of 100 points in cotton
cannot but presage like rise, pro
badly not so marked. in all other
farm products.
The dispatch follows:
WASHINGTON. Jan. i.-The re
solution reviving the War Finance
Corporation became n law today with
its adoption by the House over the
Presidents veto. The vote was taken
without debate.
Cotton jumped 100 points yester-
day when the news went forth that
the republican Senate had passed the
War Finance Corporation revival bill
over the veto of the democratic pres
ident. by an almost unanimous vote
Other products of the farm, including
rice and sugar felt the beneficial eff
feet of the action of the Senate, with
prices stifening as public confidence
Ia gradually being restored.
This bill is an emergency measure,
designed to revive the War Finance
| Corporation as the medium of hnanC-
ing the export of agricultural and
other products abroad. as IL did dur
ing the war. when. foreign credits
were Mt low rbb and foreign mar
kets for American products required
such emergency aid. The bill was
bitterly opposed to the last ditch by
Secretary Houston of the Treasury
department. He fought it all the way
through Congress and then infuenc-
ed President Wilson to veto it.
With the assurance that the House
will also pass 1t over the presidential
veto and that the War Finance Cor
poration will again be put into the
breach to assist in financing the ex-
port of American products, conf
dence of the business world Is being
restored at fast rate which augurs
well for an early recovery of the
country from the conditions that now
prevail as result of the Federal Re-
serve Boards deilation scheme and
the very unsatisfactory policy Of
Secretary Houston. and is giving the
country foretaste of the benefits
that are to accrue from the results
achieved by the voters last Novem-
ber Q. when they voted the present
administration out of power and re-
pudiated it's ruinous policies.

FINANCIAL LETTER
(By 7. II. Tharp. President Liberty
Bank q Trust COD


1920 was a year of disappointment
to agricuturist. investors, and
traders
1921 prophesies better things
There is still unmarSeted. Of the past
seasons crop, approximately. seven
ty Eve per cent of the cotton. eighty
five per cent Of the rice and ninety
five per cent Of the sugar
While the price of these products
Is low. yet. the money from then
aale will soon flow into the channels
of trade. and raise the current of
commerce 10 goodly height There
will be conservatism in new credit
accommodation all during the year
hecauac of already extended lines,
and because Of banks lacking availa-
bic funds.
Compared to one year ago, New
Orleans banks have twenty three
million dollars less deposits. subject
to check from individuals and firms.
and twenty five millions less from
hanks. This is somewhat offset by
~ increase for the year Of seventeen
million in savings deposits, making
The net loss, in deposits, thirty-onc
million dollars. This loss is caused
bv the lower price Of commodities
making the daily elearings run to
smaller figures. and by the fact that
all the summer and fall money has
been going north for merchandise,
and, ALSO that the products Of our
section have not yet been marketed
and turned into cash
The BILLS payable of New Orleans
Banks have increased twenty eight
million dollars. and loans to custom
ers increased Twenty-Five million dol
lars over the amount last year, at
this date. For the same period the
local banks are strengthened by an
increase of three and one-half mil
lion dollars IN capital stock and sur
plus.
Nearly every country bank and
commercial firm is carrying over q
large part Of their loans into the new
year. and hence will have to run on
their present resources in 1921. This
will induce economy and curtailment
We have again learned that the
basis of general prosperity is farm
ing. When crops fail. or price of
same fail, finances founder.
Louisiana farmers are remarkably
resourceful and self-reliant. They
know how to live modestly, and how
to make a crop at nominal eS-
pense They will make this years
crop with very little money outlay
and when harvest time comes the
proceeds will be practically all pro
fit.
Outlook IL Bright.
The present situation is more sat
isfactory than one year ago. Then
everything was inflated, and there
was danger. Now prices have reach
ed stable basis. The acts Of men
are saner and safer.
The people will profit by the ex-
perience and observation of the past
few mcnths. and face the future,
with fund of valuable knowledge.
Ours Is great state--rich In soil,
climate and eitizenry. Providence is
kind. The pendulum that recently
swung SO far to the point of low
prices. will go back. not to pre-war
extremes. but to normal basis, and
business will again adjust itself
With grit and gumption. with plain
living and plentous labor, our people
may proceed to a plane of peace and
