Montgomery, Ala, MAY 10

New England cotton mills are
turning southwark and Alabama is
receiving most favorable considera-
ton from northern owners, according
to NJ. B. Wellborn, governor Ct the
Sixth District Federal Reserve bank,
Atlanta, who made an address before
the closing session of the Alabama
Bankers association at Mitchell dam
Saturday afternoon.
Some of the textile men have
talked with me in Atlanta about
ested in Alabama than in any other
southern state, because the price Of
power is cheaper in Alabama Gov
ernor Wellborn stated. He men
toned the advantages offered by Ala
bama both from Its cheap water
power and abundant coal, as offering
greater inducements than other
southern states. Admission has al
ready captured a big cotton mill
Governor Wellborn stated, and he
predicted great development along
this line for other parts of Ala
bama.
Governor Wellborn touched on two
other matters Of establishing an
agency of the federal reserve bank
In Cuba On the subject of business
conditions, he sounded warning
note against entertaining excessive
optimism and too strong belief of
the continuance of the present pros
porous state of affairs Il am not
optimistic enough to believe that the
present conditions will always con-
tnue and grow better" Governor
Wellborn stated. He gave as his OBJ
servation that tides of prosperity
are in the course of time followed by
a falling off in business.
Sounds Note Of Caution
Governor Wellborn stressed the
point that he is not predicting "A
panic, or even a period of depression"
for the near future, but at the same
time wished to give a caution against
overconfidence.
On the subject of the Cuban
agency of the Federal Reserve bank,
Governor Wellborn stated that con-
troll of this would mean much to the
Atlanta bank, and that strong effort
had been made to have the Cuban
agency placed under the Atlanta
bank. He stated, however, that the
federal board has about decided to
give the business to Boston to the ex
tent that the discounting of bills Will
be handled by the Boston bank, and
the currency by the Atlanta bank.
Governor Wellborn stated that he
had opposed taking the handling of
the Cuban business from the Atlanta
bank, holding that it should natu-
rally come within Atlanta's territory.
