as the cotton is exported and sold.
The Staple Cotton Cooperative as
J ISOLATION comprises within its mem
! bership many of the leading cotton
planters in the Delta District of the
Mississippi. In fact, the owners and
producers of 100000 bales of long
staple cotton, out of a total average
yield of approximately 100000 bales,
have agreed to sell their cotton
| through this organization. The action
of the corporation will enable the
association to market its cotton in
an orderly way during the current
cotton year without unduly forcing
sales.
If a similar plan could be carried
| out in connection with other types
of cotton, it would be helpful in re-
lieving the situation. Properly financ-
ed, it would insure the orderly mar
keting of the crop and make it I'M
necessary for the producers to dump
on the market unduly large quantities
of distressed cotton within a short
period. But it would do more. 1t
would help the market SO that the
consumers of cotton would perhaps
feel justified in replenishing their
stocks, which, IN most cases, are much
lower than usual at this season of
the year.
The War Finance Corporation
stands ready to assist other organi-
cations, as we'll as cotton exporters
and banking institutions, in the same
way that it has assisted the Staple
Cotton Cooperative. Association, pro.
vided the advances can be made upon
a sound business basis and provided
also that the corporation may be
definitely assured that the advances
will be repaid from the proceeds OF
export sales within year.

BY ALBERT APPLE.

Wall street now inclines to the be-
lief that business revival, when ii
starts, will begin with heavy buying
of equipment and supplies by the rail
roads.
Herbert Hoover points out that
'the railroads normally consume 20
per cent of all materials and en-
ploy, directly or indirectly, 20 per
cent of all labor in the United
States"
That is potential buying power
big enough to pull the whole coun-
try out of depression.
Hence Wall street considers it
very important that the railroads
lately are making much better fl
nancial showing.
Idle freight cars have been reduced
to 373,791, says latest reports of
American Railway Association.
Three months ago there were 507,-
274 idle cars.
In the week ended June IS, latest
reported, number of cars loaded with
reyenue-producing freight on all
American railroads was 775,061
against 845,694 cars same week
1919.
Many railroad repair shops are
being re-opened.
Weathervanes.
Last week was one of the most
satisfactory weeks in meat trade for
two years, despite the hot weather,
says Armour & Co. This shows
better public confidence in business
situation. Butchers for several
months have been doing bad bust
ness, reflecting consumers economy
June building activity was 6 per
cent less than May, in money fig
ures, say F. w. Dodge Co. reports.
Total tonnage jof American ex-
ports in May was % per cent greater
than in May 1913, with prices averag-
ing 80 per cent higher.

plan, by which cotton can be held
over for future export, so that the
actual export movement can take
place as fast as foreign markets will
absorb it,
The statement by Managing Di-
rector Meyer follows in full:
The advance Of $5,000,000 to the
Staple Cotton Cooperative Associa-
ton, of Memphis, approved recently
by tho War Finance Corporation,
marks the adoption of new policy
by the Directors of the Corporation.
The Corporation, which was directed
by the congress to resume operations
for the purpose of assisting in finan-
eng the expectation of domestic pro-
ducts by making advances to Ameri-
can exporters and American bankers,
has steadily broadened its policy in
order to meet the present emergen-
cy which exists in the marketing of
agricultural and other commodities.
At first. advances were made to eX-
pcrters only on cotton actually eX-
ported under definite contracts of
sale, but later, following conferences
with cotton exporters and bankers
in Washington, New Orleans and
New York, the corporation announces
its readiness to consider applications
in connection with the expectation
of cotton on any one of the three
following plans:
]. For prompt shipment against
deferred payments.
For future shipments within al
reasonable time against either |
prompt or deferred payments, after
arrival in foreign countries where |
goods were under definite contract |
for sale; or
3. For prompt shipment to ware |
houses in foreign distributing points |
to be held there on account of the |
American exporters and bankers for
marketing out of warehouses.
The advance to hte Staple Cotton |
Cooperative Association carries these |
plans a step farther. By its terms,l
the association agrees that, out of |
the 100000 bales of long staple cot |
ton pledged as security, it will export
within one year quantity Sufficient |
to repay the full amount of the loan
out of the proceeds of export sales
the cotton to be held in American |
warehouses until the time is favor
able for export. The advance re-
presents approximately one-half of |
the present market value Of the cot |
ton and will run for maximum of |
one year, but may be repaid sooner
