Warehouses and Compresses at Sev*
oral South Carolina Points Said
to Be in Deal.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 1.?Armogements
are practically complete
Bar .the formation of a gigantic corporation
to combine and standardize
a. huge 'portion of the cotton compressing
and warehousing facilities
of the South and to establish new
ones on an unlimited scale throughout
the cotton belt, effecting Char*-oimi
rninmhki and Greenville. An
nouncement of thQ undertaking was
made today by Rufus R. Wilson, secretary
of the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers. Mr. Wilson is
also president of the World Cotton
conference which at its recent meeting
in New Orleans, declared ade;
?juate warehousing to be a "paraJ
mount necessity'' in handling and,
distributing the American cotton crop'
Identified with the undertaking arej
' many prominent Southern and East-1
era cotton spinners, producers, brokers
and bankers. Arrangement al-i
ready has been made declares Mr.;
Wilson, for acquiring established
properties worth millions, including
So fewer t^an 65 compress plants.
The corporation in process of formation
will be known as the Union
Warehouse Compress. The organization
is "being perfected by the Union
Cotton Warehouse Organization corporation
which has had experts surrey
the whole of warehousing
and compressing of cotton and work

"It has long been well knorofi in
Che cotton industry" says Miywilson
. ""that sufficient facilitiesalready exist
to house most of th/? cotton ofw
fered for storage. However, the allocation
of these warehouses is such

N Wt ought to be stored is now kept in

with, the result that each year's crop'
suffers millions of dollaiu worth of
loss from country damage, many of
the existing warehouses are so poorly-constructed
and carelessly operated
that insurance rates for cotton stored
in them are abnormally high and
receipts for stored stocks are In many
cabes unsatisfactory collateral for

bank loans.
"Many Southern bankers declare
they would rather loan msney on cotton
than on real estate but the trouble
has beea and still is with the character
of the warehouse receipts as evidence
of the cottons safety,, ownership,
weight and delivery ability.
"Fully conversant with these conditions
and the need for improving
them both in the interest of the grower
4nd spinner, a group of men concerned
from various angles with th
cotton industry are organizing a cor
poration for the purpose of standard
izing warehouses in both the South
and the North."
In as much as cotton warehousi.v
and compressing are allied operation
ho TTm'nn Warehouse and Compre-;
companies of cotton with the view
of compressing as many bales as p:?
sible to an even density. High density
presses will be installed in those
plants where such presses are no!
used.
Many Plants in Deal.
And the most of the warehousing
facilities will be increased. The compress
plants to be taken over by the
new organization Mr. Wilson announced
are those of the- Atlantic
Compress company with 12 plants in
Florida, Georgia and Alabama, those
of the Newburger Cotton company
with 26 plants in Arkansas, Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Louisianna add
those of the St. Louis Compress company
controlled by the Lesser Goldman
interests chiefly in Arkansas and
Missiouri. The scattered presses -wm
be paid by the companv t^the compresses
and storage facilities at big
concentration points like Norfolk,
Charleston, Savarinah, Atlanta, Mobile.
Houston^gt. Louis and Memphis
and to supplying them with increased
and standardized service.
U is also planned to organize a
subsidiary corporation whose business
will be to buy and sell cotton
receipts and acceptance thus facilitating
the financing of cotton in stor
age. The movement is in line witn
recommendation made by representatives
of all cotton interests at the
world conference held in New/ Orleans.
They pledged their support to
undertakings looking to the development
of a better warehousing system
for cotton. An efficient and adequate
system of warehousing will be of
great advantage to both producers
and consumers and Wilson declares
It will prevent the losses now occurring
because of the hasty way each
'big cotton crop is marketed, will tend
to stablize prices and insure proper
distribution of the crop "which now is
worth more than $2,000,000,000 a
year.
The Gordon McCabe company compressors
at Charleston and Columbia
will be taken into the Union company.
They will be much enlarged.
