LOANS ON COTTON
CROP ARE OFFERED
Atlanta Bank Ready to Ad-
vance 80 Per Cent OF Cur
rent Market Value.
BY CECIL M. JONES.
written for the Associated Press)

written for the ASSociAteo FfeSs.1
ATLANTA. Ga, August 22.-The
First National Bank of Atlanta and
affiliated institutions announced today
that. effective Immediately, leans Of
30 per cent OF the market value OF
the cotton crop will be made TO cotton
farmers of the Southeastern States.
John X. Ottley, president Of the
Atlanta bank. which. with its affiliated
institwtions. has resources exceeding
$50, 900 900. said the loans could be
obtained through any bank in the
States of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
Loans will run from four to six
months and those made by the Atlanta
banks will be at 5 per cent interest.
Mr.. Ottley said the present situa-
ton confronting the cotton farmer was
unsatisfactory and that, although con-
structive Suggestions had been made
for the possible betterment of condi-
tions, the nank believed the time had
come for immediate action to prevent
dumping of cotton on the market and
possibly further. depressing prices.
While holding cotton of the market,
the loans also will enable the farmer
to release a good portion OF the market
value OF the crop to local banks and
merchants, Mr.. Ottley said.
This bank has been financing cot
ton since 1865 and does not propose
10 change its policy now" Mr. OtOey's
announcement said THE plan We are
Offering is a repetition Of similar move
ments in support Of the cotton crop
in 1914 and again in 1921"
Mr.. Ottley, a member of President
Hoover's Advisory Employment Com
mittee, said he believed aid for the
unemployed should be handled through
local agencies and that local i1stitu-
tons should in turn come to the aid
Of the distressed farmer

KANSAS CITY. Mo, August 22-
Apparently the ultimate low for trade
activity in the Southwest is past.
The dizziness of Summer was nat
urally more than seasonal in view of
the low prices of wheat and the stress
of demands for ready cash that could
not be met without sacrifice of possible
advantage later.
Gradually some of the bitterness has
evaporated and the average family has
been planning to meet the situation
and keep the budget within means
Merchants have been liberal In COL

customers feel any more like martyrs

waiting for the farmers to come in
with their checks. Mostly they repre-
sented manufacturers of agricultural
machinery. But sentiment has brought
orders to go easy and give the pro-
Queer chance. 1t has been done as
good policy for maintaining the morale
OF customers, a course likely to result
in later benefit
Retail trade has muddled along dur

dollar sales than a year ago but larger
unit distribution. One large Missouri

Probably this generally will hold good,
and while 1t does not make for profits
it does keep the retailers busy. Chain
stores are not increasing. apparently
having reached nearly the saturation
point. They deal only for cash and
gather up a considerable part of the
ready money in the towns.

Business Notes

NEW YORK, August 22-Response to
retail sales offerings during the week
were reported in the trade as spotty.
Consumer response to purely price ap-
peals on seasonal clearances was de-
Scribed as poor. but a fair degree of
Roadway was made in the early turn
over of initial Fall styles. Millinery
again showed up well. with popular
priced fur garments ana fur-trimmed
cloth coats figuring somewhat less
prominently from the standpoint Of
active consumer purchasing.
Increased purchasing activity on holi-
day goods. coupled with reports that
stocks of cheaper novelty goods and
toys in the hands of foreign manufac-
turers are the smallest in years caused
concern in import circles in New York.
Cabled orders for Christmas stocks with
requests for immediate shipment were
sent by several houses within the last
two days. Most of the purchasing done
earlier was restricted because Of wide
spread belief that even the cheaper
types Of imported goods would be IN
short demand this season.
Mems wear retail trade moved along
at a slow pace during the week and
while some of the offerings of clothing
at reduced prices elected a fair re-
Spouse from consumers. the general
trend of turnover was In line with the
usual dizziness which sets In toward the
end Of August. New York store execu-
tives said.
Complaints that the demand for sales
merchandise has pushed regular goods
into the background in the popular
price dinnerware market were voiced
this week by selling agents in New York,
who find It increasingly difficult to
move Fall lines
