CREDITS AT BANKS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FORMAL STATEMENT BY RESERVE BOARD. Recent Disturbance in Price and De <nand Are Inevitable, Says N Statement. Washington, Oct. 16.?Bank credit "has been steadily available for the successive seasonal requirements of agriculture," according to a formal statement issued tonight by the federal reserve board designed as a reply to agricultural organizations which appealed to the government this week for a further extension of agricultural credit. "Repent, riistnrhanpps in nriee and demand which have been manifest in agricultural markets are "inevitable and unavoidable consequences of the economic derangements occasioned by the world war" the board's statement said. It added, however, that the gradual and regular movement of the crops from producers to consumers was <to be expected. "In view of the representations which have recently been made to 1 J __ xne ooara as iu uudvauauun^ ui credit in agricultural sections/' the statement said, "the board requested information concerning credi^^conditions throughout the countr^from the chairmen and governors of the federal reserve banks at their usual autumn conference here this week. * Stipe of Last Spring. * "The board is advised that credit has been steadily available for the successive seasonal requirements of agriculture as well as'for the needs of commerce and industry, and that there is no ground for expecting that its availability for these purposes *rill nAt continue. The present im proved credit situation is due in part to the timely steps taken last spring, following conference between the board and governors and directors of federal reserve banks' to provide credit for crop moving requirements apd in part to the subsequent improvement in transportation reported from all districts except in a few localities. . "Between January 2 and October %>. of the present year about 800 ieadmg member banks from all sections of the country which report , their condition to the board weekly \ and. which represent approximately - TO per cent. *6f t!ie member bank re sources have increased their loans for agricultural, industrial and commercial purposes by an amount exceeding $1,800,000,000. This great increase in the credit extended to their customers has in the m&tn been made possible by . the accommodation extended member banks by the federal reserve banks. Holdings of Banks. "During the same period, the 12 federal reserve banks have increased their holding of agricultural and commercial paper by more than $500,000,000 and from January 23 to October 1, 1920, increased their Issues of federal reserve notes oy over $460,000,000. At the same , time, federal reserve banks having surplus funds have extended accommodations to federal reserve banks In agricultural and live stock districts by means of discounts aggregating on October 1 over $225,000,000. ' "The disturbances in price and demand whirh have? recently manifest ed themselves in markets for various agricultural and other commodities, not only in the United States, but in other countries as well, are inevitable and unavoidable consequences of the economic derangements occasioned by the world war. The United States continues to have a heavy volume of exports, although foreign demand for certain agricultural staples has somewhat decreased. But the chief market for our raw and manufactured products is at home, and our present huge crops of immense value may be expected gradually and in regular course to move from producers to consumers. The y recent census, recognizing our population at 105,000,1000, emphasizes anew our own capacity as consumers, irrespective of the* demands of other countries."< ' Report of Farmer*.

Barrett of the conference. ' "The statement issued tonight by the federal reserve board not only does not attempt to meet the situation and will not alter conditions but is even couched in terms to support the price declines. The board's declaration that present disturbances are inevitable and unavoidable is indefensible in this crisis. ; "We advise that the next meeting v 'of the full conference' be held here October 28 to complete plans already - discussed in executive session." i Mr. Barrett, who is president oi the National Farmers' union, also issued a statement attacking the reserve board's statement as quibbling in essence and offering no relief whatever for agriculture from the present oppressive financial condition, he said. "The board is either totally and inexcusably ignorant of + Vio roo) / nnrUtinns nc thpv affect the farmer or is unwilling to publicly admit the facts. "Every farmer who is an applicant for credit knows that agriculture is not now and has not for months been supplied with funds needed to effect the marketing of their crop. "It is an astounding proposition that the federal reserve board should be ignorant of this fact. "The statement promises that credit would flow in future as it has in the past. If this means that the present apparent policy of the board is "to continue then it's no use to tell the expectant farmers that they will be given necessary and indispensible credit. "I can not help but believe that the board is showing a more ten^r 1 ?J TtriiA oro moninn. jf rcgciru IUI tnuse **iiw ui? ing agriculture than it will extend to the men who actually till the soil." With reference to the plans of the agriculturists, committee members said a much larger and more widely representative convention of growers would be called to carry on the fight for credit continuation., TAFT WAS RIGHT, SAYS HOUSTON *' Foreign Relatione Committee Pack* ed Against Treaty.

STATEMENT EXPECTED FROM RESERVE BOAftD Attitude on Questions of Credit in Relation to Stringency Probably Be Made Clear. Washington, Oct. 15.?Representatives of Southern cotton commission merchants appealed to the federal reserve board today for suspension of regulations defining redis. countable financial paper in anothei effort to gain relief from the credit "stringency" which cotton interests declare has struck the whole indus' try. , Propositions laid before the board, however, were declared by Governor Harding to be so intricate and to involve such serious questions that the delegation, numbering 30 or more i was given no definite reply. Five Southern senators headed the committee which was made up entirely ; of cotton factors or commission men i and bankers. Board members indicated they feared the "disastrous" results tc '' business generally should the restric/ * tions about which the cotton mei complained be lifted. Suspension o the regulations even temporarily, i was said, would mean a flooding o reserve banks with rediscount sought on paper classified as simila ' to tne ODiigauons wnicn ine covcoj men desired to have accepted. Specifically the delegation aske< that the reserve banks be permitte< to rediscount papers on which thi commission men had made advance to the cotton planters. Governor Harding declared, however, that thi form of paper, even though secure( by mortgage on the planter's crop did not come within meaning of th< federal reserve act which defined th< classes of obligations which might b< rediscounted. He said the loans rep ' resented an advance on an option ! the commission man himself not be ing engaged in either agricultural o industrial production, as required ii order that his note might be redis counted. Senator Smith of Georgia told thi board that probably half of the en ' tire year's crop of cotton was tie< up under such paper. He urge* 1 "some sort of help, even if it is onl; a temporary suspension of the regu lations until congress can amend thi 1 *law." He believed the change wouli be "readily and easily made at thi novf cocainn " 1 The board was criticised by sever al of the senators, who declared i had not construed the law as it , framers had intended. G-overno Harding replied that the board ha< interpreted the provisions of the ac along what it believed to be soun< banking lines." > The conference of federal reservi ' agents and reserve bank governor 1 with the board was not concluded to night as had been expected am | there were indications that the ques tions involved in the proposal of th cotton representatives would be giv | en attention tomorrow. Governo Harding announced Wednesday tha . the board was preparing to make i new statement of credit policy as ; result of frequent appeals for finan cial aid from agricultural interests He expected tonight to make publi ' ' -L' - 1 3 j- - .

Thi (committee was charged with deter I mining a course of action for th< more than 30 farmers' organization; whose representatives had laid thei grievances before various govern mental agencies. Two courses were under consider ation today in the event the board'i statement of policy does not providi the relief sought. One was the call ,; ing of a general conference of aJ | agricultural interests to meet ii Washington with the convening o: the next session of congress and th< other was to ask the support of th< 'American Bankers' association whic] meets in annual convention here nex week. i ??? i COLUMBIA RECTOR IS BISHOP COADJUTOI Columbia, Oct. 13.?The Rev jKirkman G.
