Mr.. Fowler's statement follows:
"The Omaha papers have pub
lished SO much about different meet
ings and arrangements contemplated
or accomplished, with rumors and
comments, considerable of which is
surmise, incorrect or misleading,
that at the moment we can only say
that nothing whatever has been done
and there is no change whatever in
our position. ....
"Our requirements in the way OF
additional funds, with the first of the
new crop of grain ready to move, is
beyond question. In that relation the
further fact is that, taking our busi-
ness as a whole, the total amount re-
quired at the peak of the borrowing
of each of the companies, when the
movement of the crop with the stor-
age of grain and forwarding is at its
maximum in the respective territories
during recent years, has been from
$25,000,000 to $30,000,000. This has
been bad year, but as usual we are
