A dispatch rroin New York says: A proposal to standardize ware houses and warehouse receipts for cotton and oilier staple commodities is being considered by members of the Federal ?Reserve Board, officers of the New York Federal Reserve Rank, and the heads of several loading New York hanks. The subject was discussed recently ?it an informal meeting here attended by four members of the Federal Re serve Hoard. Although no action was taken it was learned that the con ferees expressed the view that a string of warehouses should be estab lished under private ownership and uniform State laws so that receipts would become a standard of accept ance by hanks and he immediately rediscountable at the Federal reserve institutions, in some Southern Slates, notably Louisiana and Texas, il was said, warehouses are under State su pervision with good results. The proposed standardization plan is calculated to render banking re sources more flexible and extensive in the interest of the farmer. Bankers point out that ?here was need of a warehouse receipt that would be in stantly accepted in any bank through out the country. Thai is declared to be essential to bettor financing of the crops, particularly cotton. The New York bankers informed the Federal Reserve Hoard members thal any plan npproved by their Southern correspondents would be acceptable. Members of the conference express ed the belief thal the cotton crop, could he financed this year without taxing thc country resources despite the absence Of the usual large supply of foreign banking capital.
