American Shipping
Finds Advantage
In Panama Canal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Comple-
ton of the Panama canal and pro-
lection offered by the coastwise laws
Of the United States are largely re-
sponsible for the fact that the
amount of idle privately owned
American tonnage is not much great
err than at present. according to an
analysis of the 1nter-Coastal move
ment made public last night by the
shipping board.
The boards bureau of research es'
timated the present movement at
100000 tons year with every pros
pect of a steady increase.
After the beginning Of the acute
depression in ocean freight rates in
1920, when a majority of the Ameri-
can shipping organizations engaged
in foreign trade either went out of
business or retired to the West In
dian or coastwise trade, the para
lying effect of the recent rail strike
accelerated the growth of traffic
through the Panama canal, the bu'
reau said adding that the coastwise
laws made it possible only for
American ships to handle this bust
ness.
During August, September and Oc-
tober, cargo movements from the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts to the Pa.
cific totaled 393.940 tons, exclusive OF
oil in bulk. During the same period
the movement in the reverse direc-
ton was 442. 1926 tons, exclusive of

months S36,766 tons, or at the rate
of nearly $500 900 tons a wear.

GENTLY low price to insure them
selves against possible loss.
In the case of individual con-
signment, subject to orders to
sell, or leaving the sale to the
judgment of the consignee, the
producer is billed with every lit
tie detail of cost, plus a charge
for services. Cooperating mar
keting has never average as
high in cost per unit as con-
signment.

compared with orderly market

has enough of any commodity
to influence the market. His
holding, then, is an attempt to
guess the high point in the mar

dom sells on a rising market,
and nearly always hastens to
sell when it starts to fall. thus
helping it tumble. The aver
age price secured by co-opera-
tive association for any COM

is a better price than the aver

trying to guess the high point of
the market.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Devoted to the Pool Selling of All Farm Products

service rendered by the associa-
ton in gathering the product
together in even running lots
and preparing it for market, and
saving the buyer the necessity
of investment in round lots,
part of which he does not need
at the time. Besides this, the
association method gets the ad-.
vantage Of sales made in an or
derby manner, on demand, and
not forced. Again, the cost of
operation bears a very definite
relation. to the volume of bust
ness and the larger the num-
Der of members, and the larger
the proportion Of the total pro
duction of the commodity han
died comparatively, the lower
the average cost of handling the
cooperative business. This mas
been demonstrated in the, opera
ton Of the California co.opera
tives.
While cooperatives, in their
operation, incur many costs not
incurred by the individual,
such as advertising lin such
commodities as fruits and nuts}
in every case they are services
the grower needs, but is unable.
individuality to have. And in no
case can the cost of operating a
cooperative marketing associa-
ton be more than a fraction of
the cost of the distributing
methods that have grown UP in
the absence of a real distribut-
ing system, such as cooperative
marketing is proving itself to be.
Definite Advantage Of the
System
Definite advantages of the CO.
operative system to the pro-
Queer may be summed up as
follows:
The farmer obtains fair and
accurate grading Of his prod
ucts, by experts employed by
himself. Very few farmers are
able to grade for themselves,
and this is one of the large
leakages of farm profits. His
product is sold for him, by ex~
perts hired to serve him, who
know just as much about the
value of the products as the
men who buy.
His product is properly stor-
ed and insured to avoid damage
of any sort in the period be-
tween production and final sale.
His income is put on a year.
round basis, instead of a "feast
and famine basis.
And last, but not least, he Is
conducting his own business in
a business-like manner.

Pool Payments

AS rapidly as the commodity
of certain grade in given pool
is sold out, the receipts are cred
tied to that pool. The loans to
make advances are repaid and
the interest stopped, and as soon
as sufficient funds are amassed
to the credit of the pool another
payment is made to each mem
Der who has anything in that
pool Pool payments usually
are equalized so that late sea-
son contributions to the pool
may receive the same amount as
those whose stuff was turned in
early. Further payments are
made on each pool from time to
time and final settlement made
after the pool has been disposed
of entirely. 1t is good practice
to close pools for delivery from
new members at a stated time,
but the books should never be
closed for receiving and register
ing new members as such.
Final payment consists of pro-
rating to the membership all
the money remaining to the
credit of the polo in which his
product has been placed, less
the proportionate amount neces-
sary to pay his share of the OPP
Grating expense, and deductions
for reserves for credit, to retire
Indebtedness for subsidiaries, such
as warehouse companies, and
other essential expenses.
In considering the cost of
operation it is fair to compare
this cost with the cost of doing
business under the individual
dumping system, or the indiv-
idual consignment system, or the
individual holding system, in the
case of non-perishables.
1t is not to be forgotten that
the producer says the cost Of get
ing his product to market, what
ever it is, and whether he knows
it or not. No private distribut-
ing agency is in business for it's
health, and none of them assume
any risks they can load onto the
