Meeting in Columbia the South Car
olina Cotton Association voted to es
tablish a cotton bank and export cor
poration with' a proposed capita]
stock of $2,000,000. The object oi
the organisation as announced is not
only to finance the farmers and en
able them to withhold distress cotton
from the market, but also to establisk
foreign correspondents and to tak«
care of the foreign shipments of the
staple so as to enable buyers from
abroad to deal directly with the pro
ducers.
In attempting to raise the stock foi
the proposed bank, the state will be
divided into four sections and the
stock will be allocated according tg
the cotton production of each section
probably on a basis of $1.75 a bale
of cotton. The stock will be divided
in two series, one of 60 per cent and
the other of 40 per cent. The 60 pel
cent allotment is for the producer
and the 40 per cent for the banker,
irchant and others.
