HELP FOR COTTON INDUSTRY IN AMENDED WAREHOUSE ACT To place the business of cotton warehousing on a stable basis and provide receipts for cotton that a e negotiable at any bank has long been an aim of persons interested in cotton, and under the amended United States cotton warehouse act this is likely to be realized. That is the opinion of men in the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, who are charged with issuing Federal warehouse licenses. The warehouse act has just been amended so as to permit the accept ance of personal bonds from warehousemen and to permit the issuance of negotiable receipts, when requested by the depositors of cotton in the warehouse, without stating the grade of the cotton. The grade must be Stated, however, unless the request to omit it is made. The purpose of the warehouse act! is to create a warehouse receipt of unquestioned value and one which i will be acceptable to all bankers as security for obtaining l?ans, regardless of the location of the warehouse. In this way warehousemen will furnish a receipt to their customers which will be of the utmost value to them as negotiable paper, and enable them to borrow close to the actual value of their stored goods at cheap er interest rates. Thus they may market their cotton slowly ahd in conformity with the needs of the man ufacturers. The full description of the cotton stored requested to be stated on the face of the receipt will enable the owner to know the value of his cotton and enable him to market it intelligently. The proper development of the warehouse will make possible the practice of mar-, keting the cotton crop through the warehouse, and thus avoid the enoi- j mous losses resulting from weathei damage.

'A ? - 'i - ji vantage of the opportunity extended should apply to the Bureau of Markets, at Washington, D. C., for tha application forms. Upon receipt of t the blanks they should be filled Out and sent to the Bureau of Matkftts at Washington along with the nominal inspection fee required. This fee is based on the capacity of the warehouse at the rate yf $1 for each 1,000 bales of its capacity; thus, a 5,000 bale warehouse will pay I Inspection fee of $5; a 6,000-bale ttitre house has a capacity of leas than . 5.000 bales, the fee will be $5. The maximum inspection fee is $50. Tfeus a warehouse having a capacity of j more than 50,000 bales will b? toquired to remit a fee of only $50.
