COOD IIONS GROWING BETTER SAYS COMPTRIRfR )A* kelton Williams Scores New York Bankers for Excessive Interest. Washington, July ' 30.-Asserting that while -the applicaton by Federal Reserve Banks of bankes on credit hag had a "jarring effect on some nervous systems," John Skelton Wil liams, comptroller of the currency, in statenient tonight said general busi ness-conditions throughout the coun try afforded abundant reasons for "confidence and encouragenietn in the future." Action of the federal recerve banks in largely depriving non-essentials and luxuries from the use of credit was said by Mr. Williams to have had t very beneficial effect. Reports to the comptroller show a markedtend ency towards liquidation, he said, adding he believed the credit restric tions were responsible for such de clines in prices as have come. Mr. Williams said there was a prev alent pessimism which w&.s unwar ragted in that the banks at present were in a "particularly well forti filed position." lie cited figures from fled position." He cited figures from reports on the last national bank'call, June 30 to show that there were in crhses in loans by banks in only two & %-ons, the Eastern and Cleveland rstricts. Attacks New York Banks. The currency comptroller attacked New York banks for exacting interest -charges ranging as high as 15 per cent: New York bankers, he said, were the only ones in the country charging such interest rates, ,.hich he believed to be burdensome on bisi nes- sas well as "without justification for their excessiveness. These banks. Mr. Williams said, have a borrowing credit from the federal reserve banks at "les sthan 6 per cent." "Those inclined to pessimistic views as to our financial situation," Mr. William scontinued, "probably do not know, or do not appreciate the im mensely significant fact that our fed oral reserve banks have an unused lending power of $750,000,000 at this time. If the occasion required, the board could, by waiving reserve re quirements on deposits and notes only 10 per cent increase the unused lend ing power to $2,500,000,000 which is twenty-five times as much as all of IT IS A.

BIG DEMAN FOR COTTON GRADERS Clemson College, July 30.-There is a big call for official cotton graders to serve in the various counties under the new arrangement of the Extension Service with the Cotton Association and the Warehouse Commission, and it is apparent now that the demand is going to be much greater than the sup ply of available graders. This is the opinion of E. C. Seifert, Extension Extension Specialist in Cotton Grad ing, who says that there is a scarcity of good graders due to the fact that men experienced in such work have entered the field as buyers Already fourteen counties have ap plied to the Extension Service for graderagraders. Seven of these appli cations have Ileen filled and the others LL OVER will you be tonight?

Five other coun ties have practically completed finan cial and other arrangements to ask for graders, and r'eports fro mthe cot ton marketing campaign now going on 'Indicate that over half of the other counties will do so. This means that there will be a scramble for the ap pointment of graders, and counties are cautioned that applications will be fill ed in order of receipt and that many connties may have to do without grad ers unless arrangements are completed and applications made at once. . In some counties the official grader idea has taken such strong hold that several towns in the same county want a grader each. In Oconee Coutny, for example, Westminster, Seneca and Walhalla each raised the necessary funds and sent in applications for graders on the same day shortly after the county meetings were held. As many official graders as possible are being engaged to meet the calls, and the success o fthis phase of the cooperative marketing agreement is already assured. -0 RESOLUTIOn OF" iESPECTl' Resolution of respecL to the memory of our Brother Mason, J.
