I RFoitATlON TO MPF^ STORE COTTOX. Warehouses and Compresses at Sev* oral South Carolina Points Said to Be in Deal. Washington, D. C., Jan. 1.?Armogements are practically complete Bar .the formation of a gigantic corporation to combine and standardize a. huge 'portion of the cotton compressing and warehousing facilities of the South and to establish new ones on an unlimited scale throughout the cotton belt, effecting Char*-oimi rninmhki and Greenville. An nouncement of thQ undertaking was made today by Rufus R. Wilson, secretary of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. Mr. Wilson is also president of the World Cotton conference which at its recent meeting in New Orleans, declared ade; ?juate warehousing to be a "paraJ mount necessity'' in handling and, distributing the American cotton crop' Identified with the undertaking arej ' many prominent Southern and East-1 era cotton spinners, producers, brokers and bankers. Arrangement al-i ready has been made declares Mr.; Wilson, for acquiring established properties worth millions, including So fewer t^an 65 compress plants. The corporation in process of formation will be known as the Union Warehouse Compress. The organization is "being perfected by the Union Cotton Warehouse Organization corporation which has had experts surrey the whole of warehousing and compressing of cotton and work out 4>lans of development that have keen approved by the backers of the enterprise.

Allocation Poor. ^ ' "It has long been well knorofi in Che cotton industry" says Miywilson . ""that sufficient facilitiesalready exist to house most of th/? cotton ofw fered for storage. However, the allocation of these warehouses is such Chat they d<) no^'adequately serve the storage ne&tfs 0f the producer, merchant >an^gpiDners. They are not located respect to distribution 30 Woest serve the needs-of the dvtdj^rpor this reason much cotton N Wt ought to be stored is now kept in -^u>en lots, greets and on plantations with, the result that each year's crop' suffers millions of dollaiu worth of loss from country damage, many of the existing warehouses are so poorly-constructed and carelessly operated that insurance rates for cotton stored in them are abnormally high and receipts for stored stocks are In many cabes unsatisfactory collateral for i . i AnAth l At all times the artistic dwelling fit in demand, whether large or small, waymslve or inexpensive.

"Many Southern bankers declare they would rather loan msney on cotton than on real estate but the trouble has beea and still is with the character of the warehouse receipts as evidence of the cottons safety,, ownership, weight and delivery ability. "Fully conversant with these conditions and the need for improving them both in the interest of the grower 4nd spinner, a group of men concerned from various angles with th cotton industry are organizing a cor poration for the purpose of standard izing warehouses in both the South and the North." In as much as cotton warehousi.v and compressing are allied operation ho TTm'nn Warehouse and Compre-; companies of cotton with the view of compressing as many bales as p:? sible to an even density. High density presses will be installed in those plants where such presses are no! used. Many Plants in Deal. And the most of the warehousing facilities will be increased. The compress plants to be taken over by the new organization Mr. Wilson announced are those of the- Atlantic Compress company with 12 plants in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, those of the Newburger Cotton company with 26 plants in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisianna add those of the St. Louis Compress company controlled by the Lesser Goldman interests chiefly in Arkansas and Missiouri. The scattered presses -wm be paid by the companv t^the compresses and storage facilities at big concentration points like Norfolk, Charleston, Savarinah, Atlanta, Mobile. Houston^gt. Louis and Memphis and to supplying them with increased and standardized service. U is also planned to organize a subsidiary corporation whose business will be to buy and sell cotton receipts and acceptance thus facilitating the financing of cotton in stor age. The movement is in line witn recommendation made by representatives of all cotton interests at the world conference held in New/ Orleans. They pledged their support to undertakings looking to the development of a better warehousing system for cotton. An efficient and adequate system of warehousing will be of great advantage to both producers and consumers and Wilson declares It will prevent the losses now occurring because of the hasty way each 'big cotton crop is marketed, will tend to stablize prices and insure proper distribution of the crop "which now is worth more than $2,000,000,000 a year. The Gordon McCabe company compressors at Charleston and Columbia will be taken into the Union company. They will be much enlarged. wctivei fo c*l ' io j juau 7/CKBUL IUNGALOW NO. 43 ge renter; is.especially , cozy, convenient, well ^ &ClfC% Jr de and out, and small, ion, but will bring a One of the best 1 rawback as a house too serviceable, rentable ingalows are always In is not too great.
