FOOD PRICES SHOW INCREASE. Washington t D. C., Aug. 11?Although prices of practically all important foods have shown a substantial increase during the last year, stocks of food held in storage on June 1st, this year, were approximately 20 per cent greater than those held on . June 1st iyl8, according to a niemjtafe orandum showing the relation between storage figures and prices, issu3d by the Federal Trade Connuission. Government stocks are excluded from the comparison. "The fact that stocks of many im portant foods were iuucu laigu vu. juue 1st this year tuun on the same day last year," the report said, "while prices were as high or higher apparently means that they are being withheld speculatively lor a world demand which is not now here, but is expec.ed when hunger-impelled strikes secure higher wages with which higher food prices can be procured." o REP. STEVEXSOX HELPS FARMERS. Pushes Measures to Borrow More 011 Their Cotton. 'Washington, Aug. 3?The House of Representatives has just passed a bill which would amend in two particulars the existing law so as to facilitate the carrying of cotton and other perishable marketable staples to a more liberal extent than has heretofore prevailed. The measure stands an excellent chance of becoming law. Representative W. F. Stevenson, of Jaheraw, who, is a member of the ^Danking and currency committee introduced bills looking to this end in consequence of requests from the South Carolina Cotton Association. The result was that the banking and currency committee reported a bill which provides that "drafts and bills of exchange secured by shipping documents conveying or securing title to goods shipped, and including demand obligations when secured by documents cove-tog commodities in actual process of shipment, and also including banker's acceptances of the kinds described in Section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act'* shall not be considered as money borrowed and subject to the provision that no one person could borrow over 10 per cent of the bank's capital and surplus. Under ruling by the comptroller in 1917 it was decided that if such drafts were held by the bank for more than a reasonable time awaiting the arrival of the cotton or other merchandise they became promissory notes, and subject to this 10 per cent provision. Under the present method of handling cotton, this ruling tied up the shipper of cotton and hampered the dealing: in it very seriously. The bill which has passed the House would make it absolutely sure that as long as the goods are In shipment and the drafts and bill of lading are held together the 10 per cent limit does not apply. In addition to that the bill amends the law so that a farmer or a merchant may borrow on notes secured by shipping documents, warehouse receipts, compress receipts, etc., as much as 25 per cent of the capital of the bank, provided the warehouse receipts securing the note are worth 10 per cent above th^ amount of the note. In other words, with a warehouse receipt for cotton for $10,000 a man can borrow $9,000 and he can do enough of this to take up 25 per cent of the banks' capital and surplus, instead of 10 per cent as now allowed. Although the banking and currency committee has thirteen Republicans an d only eight Democrats, all but one member of the committee voted for the favorable report when it was proposed by Mr. Stevenson, the bill passing by a majority of 240 or more votes against 40.?News and Courier. v All persons holding claims against the said estate are requested to file them with Daniel H.
