" V " COTTON PROBLEMS IN CONFERENCE ? |t New York Banker Gives Views?New J Orleans Example. j j - It New Orleans, Oct. 14.?Financing t and transporting of cotton featured 1 the second day of the world cotton | conference here today, J. Howard Ar- j c drey, vice president of the National t Bank of Commerce, New York, as- < serting that the best type of ware-1 house receipt obtainable is that is- 1 sued by the Great Public Cotton i warehouse at New Orleans. j c "The nearer the approach of other j t warehouses to those of New Orleans j in responsibility, integrity and proper i care of commodi'!?s in that degree 'c will their receipts be accepted in the 1 open money markets of the world," i said the speaker. "The cotton ware-! f house receipts of New Orleans are t obligations of the state of Louisiana, p "The best instrumentality for' o drawing to cotton stored in the, a South is minimum rates of open mar-1 p ket credit in bankers' acceptance's i c secured by warehouse receipts secur- j n ing and conveying title to the cotton h as provided for in the federal reserve act. "A warehouse receipt for a staple commodity in storage is the only j document except government bonds ^ on which a national bank may lend . without limit to any one borrower. All other forms of -credit are limited 1 1 1A ?? Kanlr'o vy 'IttW tu IV pel kCUV> U1 vuc uaua ? ; capital and surplus to any one bor- j ^ rower. An acceptance warehouse P receipt should come from a respon- v< sible warehouse assuring cotton ? against damage and depredation t( while in storage and carrying un- P / questioned title to the commodity." ^ Speaking on the subject of trans- ^ portation of cotton, W. S. Turner of j S Little Rock ureed that the state con-1P trol of interstate common carriers j cease. He advocated a department of j ^ transportation and federal govern-; ^ ment and an increase in the power of; T the interstate commerce commission, j * "Rates - on cotton," said Mr. | b Turner, "are high, but I believe that j ^ our attitude toward rates should be n to favor higher rather than lower; P rates just so the party is maintained, j ^ We believe' that our charges for j ^ transportation should -all be expresed I * ? * ?J j-i-_j. .at.:. 111 m one tnrougn rate ana urni .mis; should be high enough to make our j cotton traffic the most attractive of ie all commodities to the carriers and I * they should then yield us a service'0 consistent with the charge. There j * is no doubt but that freight rates j x should be higher if we are to get the' ^ high character of service necessary to the economic conduct of our business." Extermination for the blame for ^ damage to cotton and the necessity a of better warehousing for the prod- 1 net from the farmer to the consumer j ' * i-A ?x. I ^ were topics Drougnt out ewpimbivuiiy j ( with a spirited debate at times de- j veloping between growers and the buyers. E. A. Calvin of Houston, Texas, ^ said that the "country damage" annually would build sufficent ware? houses for protection of the crop in ?. " the South. ^ Governor Bickett of North Carolina said everybody was to blame for the damage and denounced the leav- j ing of cotton in the rain as "a delib- oroto oprtnrtmic rrimft." V7. G. Turner of little Rock scored the railroads for damage to cotton in transit. Following the charge from growers that the buyers resorted to short weighting, a countercharge was huuled on the floor of growers deliberately leaving baled cotton in the rain to absorb moisture and gain weight. Col. W. B. Thompson of New Chileans defended the growers and declared it would be impossible to inrrpflsp aoreave unless a fair nrice was guaranteed. COTTON DEMAND / SHOWS STRENGTH Wannamaker Sends Words of Cheer From Conference. Columbia, Oct. 14.?A telegram received at the headquarters of the^ South Carolina Cotton Association from J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president, who is in New Orleans in attendance on the World Cotton Con. ference, said there is a concerted ac. tion at the conference to bring the produced for a term of at least five years, in order that there may be an enormous increase in the production of American cotton. "It is conceded by the best posted j men," said Mr. Wannamaker in his j telegram, "that the most important j work of the conference is to take j such steps as will insure the increased j production of cotton. All efforts; along- this line will fail unless ihe; manufacturers change their views as: S to the cost of production and abso- j hrle assurances are given guarantee- j nig* producers a profit in line with the i profits being: made on manufactured j pi Oducts. ^ -r. .. - j "If the various interests come t m agreement on a price not only fo ;he 1920 cotton, but for cotton to b produced for a term of at least fiv ^ears, it must be a price based upoi ;he cost of production plus a profi ;o the producer in line with the profi nade by the manufacturer. "It is generally conceded that th lemand for cotton will far outstri] ;he supply before the 1920 crop be :omes available, and that much high sr prices are an ineviatble certainty ?orty-cent cotton is predicted b; nany experts before January and 5< lents before the 1920 crop reache he market. "Many manufacturers say the] lave decided to buy sufficient rav otton to carry them over into th< 920 crop without delay." Mr. Wannamaker further urged al armers to hold their cotton, saying hey were losing at least five cents t lound by selling now. The meetinj f the Foreign Cotton Export Corpor tion in New Orleans Thursday is ex ected to accomplish results. If thi: orporation is formed Mr. Wanna laker thinks there is no telling hov igh cotton may go. FLYING PAR5UIM" ON RETURN TRIP ieutenant " Maynard Leave* Sac Francisco.?First To Start Back.
