PLAN RAPIDLY' DEVELOPING'" For Formation of Big Cotton Export Organization. Columbia, April 22.-Plans for the formation of a big cotton export cor poration with. a capital stoc k of one or two hundred million dollars are rapidly being worked out says a statement issued today by the South Carolina Cotton Association. It is un derstood, says the statement, that the city of Birmingham, Ala., alone, is preparing to take $10,000,000 of the stock of the new corporation. "The committee appointed at the recent meeting in Memphis," says the statement "to work out the details of the formation. of a great cotton ex port corporation with a capital stock of- $10;000,000 is proceeding very carefully with Its task but it is learned that the plans are .being ra pidly worked out. The proposition is said to be finding great favor. over the entire South and there is every reas on to believe that it will be put over. "The.committee has not yet acted on the suggestion of conference held in Columbia last week that the capital stock of the proposed corporation be made $200,000,000 instead of $100,000 000 as adopted by the Memnhis meet ing.. The suggestion of ' the ' South Carolina conference respecting the in crease of stock will be formally sub mitted to the committee shortly. "This corporation will have power to handle cotton in all of its various phases, including exporting, market ing, warehousing and financing; in fact every phase practically that touches cotton. It will largely fill the place in the South, both to the banks and the general business inter ests of the South, that the Federal Reserve Bank fills to the nation." Regarding the resolution passed at the conference in Columbia asking the banks of the State ,to increase their canital stock, the statement say?: "The assoi tion has transmitted to the bankers o: the State the resolu tion passed at the conference urging that they increase their capital stock 50 per cent. It is known that the matter is being given careful conside ration by the bankers of the State and we have reason to hope that many will comply with the request."
