MAY REACH FIFTY * CENTS HE THINKS London Newspaper Man Discusses Staple With W. B. Cooper. (Wilmington Dispatch.) "If Europe could provide sufficient ciodits for the cotton needed there is every probability the staple would reach fifty cents per pound." Senator W. B. Cooper told the London correspondent of the New York World upon his arrival in that city from his continental trip. (The World correspondent has the following to say as a result of his talk with Cooper and other Americans who have neon on the continent for several weeks: "American cotton men who have been in Germany and have just returned to London, en route home, told The World correspondent today that in Bremen and Hamburg1 Gorman business men are straining to the utmost to arrange credits for American cotton. "Six Bremen business men were able to provide a $5,000,000 credit for c? tton, 300,000 bides of which will soon be shipped. It is thought they mortgaged' their spinning works to obtain raw cotton for manufacturing purposes. "These Americans returned from Germany with the conviction that the majority of the people are determined once more to place the Fatherland on its feet. As compared with labor troubles in the Allied countries, resulting in a reduced outrnit. it is stntnd fhjit" (innnnn wnrlfPiN I in Bremen and Hamburg are willing to work nine and tori hours daily to give once more their country a chance to regain her position among the world nations. The first cargo of American cotton was unloading at Hamburg when these cotton men were there. It represented $2,500,000. "Knowing that cotton will not be obtainable until reliable credits are found, German financiers are forming groups to obtain it. Potasn, which is needed by cotton growers in the Carolinas and some other states, probably will be exported in exchange for cotton. German manufacturers also are reported as not losing a minute's time in getting representatives started out for a world trade. "The American cotton men met a : number of them en route to neutral and allied countries to sell at low cost whatever goods they eoud find a maiket for, and hoping that Amer ica would be one of their best cu - j toners. i "W. B. Cooper, one cotton exporter) h who has just reached London from i a continental trip, said to The World: " 'If Europe could provide suffi* cient credits for the cotton needed, there is every probability that cotton would reach fifty cents a pound. Europe wants more cotton than we can supply. I have traveled from Italy to Holland and it is the ame tale everywhere. They want cotton. " 'It will be impossible to fill our own demands and meet anything like the European demand.' "Cooper and other cotton men repert that Dutch interests are buying American cotton and reselling it to Germany at higher rates. Being close at hand they are enabled to keep a closer supervision upon goods exported into Germany and arrange for collection." T A if CMCnD cnoncij Y lf1M.ll I UII I UIIUU1 I OF WAREHOUSE CHECK J. T. Cartrette was arrested last Friday and lodged in the jail under charge of forgery. It is stated that he attempted to collect a forged check on the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse for the sum of $1170.84.
