Program.

Various legislative proposals for
the relief of the agricultural industry
in the United States. including the
extending of additional financial aid
TO farmers as a means of securing
more orderly marketing of crops and
the greater sterilization of prices, are
to be reviewed in detail at con-
terence here Monday which is to be
attended by leaders of the Agricul-

OF the Federal Farm Loan Bureau,
and officers of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
p secretary OF Agriculture Wallace

the drafting of a definite legislative
program in the interests of the farm

Reductions at Reserve Banks In
Minneapolis and Dallas
Expected Next.

Action Of the Federal Reserve
Board In approving reduction in the
re-discount rate from to 6ls per
cent IN the Federal Reserve Bank, Of
Chicago. foreshadows reductions in
other districts. II was learned today.
Rediscount rate reductions for the
Federal Reserve Banks of Minneapo-
lis and Dallas are next expected 20
be authorized. The Dallas and
Minneapolis reserye banks are the
only ones in the group OF twelve
reserve bank districts now maintain
ing per cent rediscount rate.
Drops in the reserve rates in these
districts probably will be made on
the ground that improved local condi-
lions warrant the reductions. The
reductions are expected to prove a
stimulant to business and industry
generally.
The effect Of the drops expected to
be made will be highly beneficial to
the agricultural classes. rendering
easier credits possible. Member banks
OF the Dallas reserve bank, serving
large cotton interests. have been par
ticularly urgent in requests for a re-
discount rate reduction.

MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
BALTIMORE LAND BANK
RESUMES.

Resuming active operations after
nearly a year of comparative inactiv-
ity, the Federal Land Bank. OF Balti-
more. has its appraisers in the fields
valuing property on which loans have
been asked. The success, attending
the sale of the $40,000.0O0 Federal
La nd Bank bonds has enabled these
institutions all over the country to go
ahead and finance the purchase Of
fsrm lands.
The Baltimore bank has many APP
plications-more than il will be able
to accommodate. probably-out of the
small allotment 1t will receive from
the sale of the bonds. but with the
SS.O0O,O00 which it expects to receive
from the sales it will be able to take
care of the more meritorious appli-
cations.
About $4,000, 900 was loaned by the
Baltimore bank on farm lands before
the Federal Land Banks funds we've
exhausted more than a year ago, and
tie litigation began over the consti-
tutionality of the tax exemption fea-
ture of the act creating the banks.
This litigation delayed further
issues of bonds and thus cut off loan
able funds. The Baltimore bank has
total resources of about $4,000. 900.
and while its activities in making
loans were interrupted by the litiga-
ton IT was kept busy looking after
the investments 1t had already made.

j. s. TO ENHANCE
LIBERTY BONDS
Law to Permit Long Loans to
Be Discussed Here
Monday

Liberty bonds will be made more
attractive by reductions in Federal
expenditures, existing loans, and taxes
under the Governments economy pro-
gram. ~
All proposals in Congress to raise
the interest rates on Liberty bonds to
the prevailing interest rate level will
be opposed by the Administration On
the ground that such plans have no
sound economic basis. and would be
disturbing to the country's invest
ment structure.
The Treasury Departments policy
on the bond rates became known tc-
day through emphatic official state
ments that the Administration will
not sanction moves for rate advances
The opinion of the Treasury is that
change in the rates would not ma
terially affect the Liberty bond situa-
ton. Liberty bonds declined to pres
ent low marks because of the great
quantity issued and the fact that the
country has not fully, digested them.
Officials said that IL the higher lib
erty bond interest rate suggestion
should be adopted 1t would reduce tie
value of all other securities. They
contend that IL also would affect the
soundness of the savings banks. life
insurance companies, and other insti-
buttons. which now hold the bulk OF
lower Understanding securities
The Treasury's view is that the
value of Government securities will be
greatly enhanced by better business
management within the Government
itself, and the enforcement of badly
NEEDED economics of administration.
which will gradually lower the pres
ent staggering debts and taxations

FLORIDA RATESARE
HELD REASONABLE
|. C. C. Finds, However, That
Certain Charges on vege-
tables Are Excessive.

Freight rates and refrigeration
charges on chickens, fruit and veg
etables from Florida producing points
to various interstate destinations to-
day were held by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to be not unreal
sonable. except that line-haul
charges are unreasonable, because
they do not provide in those Instances
where a lower minimum and higher
rates apply than under ventilation
for the alternate application of the
same rates and minimum under re-
frigeration as under ventilation.
The commission held that the re-
frigeration charges on fruits and
vegetables are unreasonable in that they
are based on an excessive quantity
of ice.
The carriers are expected. without
formal order, to revise their
charges on this traffic within sixty
days. The complaint was filed on
September IL, 1919. by the FLORIDA
railroad commission. 81,
The joint council of the National
League OF Commission Merchants of
the United States, the international
Apple shippers Association and the
Western Fruit Jobbers' Association
of America interviewed in support of
the complaint with respect to refrig-
Grafton charges.

The Cotton Market
FurnIshed by Thomson q McKinnon

sou * hchlunOn
In this country developments have
been favorable. Banking conditions
are improving continually. as is evil
denced by the reduction this week in
the rediscount rate. and. in addition,
the War Finance Corporation is de-
veloping plans which will prove OF
material assistance to cotton eX-
porters.
A leading trade journal, in the
first OF a series of cotton reports
confirms previous estimates as to
the reduction of acreage and the re-
duced use of fertilizer.
During the week there was a in
crease in the quantity of cotton in
Europe, Liverpool showing an in
crease of 1000 bales and the CONT
nent 5000 bales: the ST. ck of Ameri-
can cotton in Liverpool being $4,000
bales which compares with 100000
bales. last year.
The movement OF cotton to market
during the week was fairly liberal
being 145.53S bales against II ,6G5
bales last year, and for the season
to date, 9.363,l40 against 11,340,12l
bales
1t is possible that the cotton mar
ket may continue to move along
slowly for a while, but since bust
ness Is improving in all lines, and
particularly in cotton goods. and with
the prospect OF a materially reduced
crop this coming season, there is
every reason why the buying side
should be favored.

previously transferred to July and

In the English market activity
vas restrained by a continuation of
the coal strike. The shortage of fuel
is becoming a rather serious matter,
and unless a settlement be reached
very soon some further curtallment OF
production is most likely.
Sentiment there. however, Is ia
vorable to the market because of a
confidence that the coal strike will
be settled very soon, and more espe-
cially because of the likelihood OF a
speedy ending of the reparations con-
troversy. 1t being generally assumed,
and, in our opinion correctly, that
with the reparations problem out OF
the way, business will broaden. In
all countries the credit situation will
be improved through the gradual
distribution OF the German obliga-
ton, the financial position of Europe
will be strengthened.

SCORE ANOTHER FOR WANDER
LID

Who discovered" Charles f.
Mitchell, the new president OF the
largest national bank in America?
1t was Frank A. vanderlip, waile
president of the bank. On learning
OF the choice made by the National
City Bank directors this week Mr..
Vanderlip said:
Mr.. Mitchell IL the most dynamic
man 1 know OF in business. He has
a tremendous capacity for work, pos
sesses fine judgment has the high
est sort of character. and j believe
that Ne will make a great bank prasi-
dent. His mind has a wide inter IA
tional range. He knows the business
OF our country very well, is exceed
ingly forceful. and he has the loyalty
of splendid organization behind
him"
1t was when Mr.. vanderlip was
looking for an executive to take hold
OF the then newly-formed National
City Company that Mr.. Mitchelrs per-
sonality first impressed him.
"In this important post added Mr.
Vanderlip, Mitchell has demon
strated his fine caliber. He is the
man who has built up this huge dis
tributing corporation, a business that
annually runs into the hundreds OF
millions OF dollars"
OF all the messages of congratu-
lations Mr.. Mitchell has received, the
one he cherishes most is the one he
received yesterday from Mr.. Wander
lip.
One day, two years ago. I dropped
in to see Charles l.. Mitchell, ther
head of the National City Company
and what do you think he was doing
Studying the Venetian marine law!
! laughed. and remarked that he evi.
IDENTIFY hadn't anything very pressing
to do. But he soon showed me that
the study was most practical and
profitable one.
Centuries ago the Venetians had al
most the same shipping problems To
solve that have confronted the United
States. And they solved them SO sat
is factorily that their ships practically
dominated the international trade OF
the world. They had seamen's laws
even more strict than those champion
ed by La Toilette; the Government
prescribed trade routes; subsidies
were paid; the authorities even de-
creed that there must be a band on
every ship to regalc the crews.
Few problems are more important
or more difficult than that of the
disposition to be made OF the gigantic
mercantile fleet built by the Govern
ment. Mr.. Mitchell's researches were
not prompted by idle curiosity or &C.
centricity.
