GRANT LOW RATES ON COTTON LOANS RESERVE AUTHORITIES C.IVF SPECIAL REDISCOUNT Smith Describes It?Senator Think* New Facilities, With Short Crop, Will Mean Good Prices. Florence, Sept. 21.?Senator E. 1) Smith was in the city a short while this morning, returning to his farn from Raleigh, N. C., where he, wit! W. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve board, took different viewpoint.in the matter of loans from banks be fore the Chamber of Commerce ol that city. They had both been inviteii to accompany Secretary Daniels te his home to meet with this body. Th< representative of the reserve boani viewed the transaction from the standpoint of the bank, the senatoi from the standpoint of the borrower The meeting was described as a most interesting one, in which all seemci to be in thorough accord. Senator Smith says that the people in Mm-lVi 1 v.. iu HeillllK their money cheaper than those it South Carolina. In the North Stati the rate of interest is said to be 6 pet cent, while in this State report seem? to show at least one case where it was 10 per cent. He thinks that there ate many evidences of increasing prosperity. The outlook in the cotton belt he thinks is the best in its history, lie felt that the promise of the federal reserve bank in Richmond to let the hanks that would lend the farmer at <i per cent on his cotton have the money to lend at .'I per cent would be most gratifying and encouraging. He gave out while here an authorized interview in which he repeated the conversation between himself and the board cfn this matter, in which was the statement concerning the interest that would be charged in this matter. The governor of the board gave him the assurance of the 3 per cent charge. His statement is as follows: "Some weeks ago I met with the federal reserve board for the purpose of discussing the practical operation I of the new banking and currency law as it relates to the farmer. I propounded certain questions to them, in the form of a letter, to which letter the governor of the hoard replied. Among other questions propounded was: 'What would be the rate of rediscount?' In other words, what interest would our regional reserve bank at Richmond charge our State banks ?that is, the national and member banks of this State?on cotton certificates. I suggested to the board at that time that in view of the fact that cotton always was an extremely liquid asset the world over and especially now when the consumption by virtue of this war and its uses as the basis of high explosives, and in vieiwr of the other fact that it was practmlly imperishable. When properly plstectec! from?e and weather, that ^^^ugl^ ovnqr o/"theboa rd and by l.im that the board had determine! on a special commodity rate for cot Ion. I was informed that it had issuee a statement to member banks through til! tho vuvvuii m;il umi/ hi cast* ani bank would agree not to charge th< party or parties obtaining a loan or cotton exceeding 0 pet* cent that the reserve bank ,in our case Richmond would charge but 3 per cent discount I was greatly gratified to see that at last the commercial and banking valut of cotton was being recognized by the federal power. "Paper issued upon cotton properly stored, insured and grade ascertained and the ownership established, is under the law the basis of the issuance of federal reserve notes. Therefore the local member bank that takes such paper assumes practically no liability. The cotton itself guarantees the loan; now it does seem that every national and member bank in the South would gladly accept this proposition. They receive the money from the reserve bank at per cent, and give it to the maker of the paper at 0 per cent, which means a gross profit to them of 100 per cent with practically no liability on their part. "Under such terms as these, with the present prices of cotton, every farmer who so desires can hold a part or all of his crop from the market without a serious per cent of its value being taken up in interest. "The present crop is undoubtedly one of the smallest that has been made in years. The demand for cotton, both in this country and abroad, has not abated a particle. Therefore, withholding the cotton from 'he mar ket and only selling it :it will will rapidly enhance the prices und tend to recuperate losses "Sustained last year. Under our present banking and currency law, as administered by the present officials, the financial status of the seller is made approximately as strong as that of the buyer. This is the condition which we have fought for for all these yt ars. As long as it was hard and co-dj for the farmer to finance his cotton, and practically easy for the buyer to obtain credit, the fight was unequal and the prices disastrous. "Mr. Harding of the federal reserve board, who was made chairman of a committee charged with the investigation of conditions, made some startling revelations at a banquet in Raleigh last night in reference to the rate of interest charged by certain banks in certain Southern States. The comptroller of the currency has promised in his official reports hereafter to give the amount of paper discounted by member banks on farm products, the kind of paper, the rate of interest charged the maker of the paper, and the rediscount rate of in1 terest charged the bank by the reserve bank. I am of opinion that this ; also will help. "I gather from the opinion of certain correspondents that their es( timate that the present crop is that it will not exceed twelve million bales maximum, with the possibility of eleven million bales being nearer the mark. With the confusion occasioned by the unexpected European war last ? year, with the demoralization of both ' the financial and marketing world 1 and with a sixteen million bale crop ' after a temporary depression the ; market rebounded to nine and ten cents. With order having been restored, with confidence restored, our ' new banking and currency law put ' into operation, with abundance of cheap money, and a small crop, it is ' almost impossible to say what would be the price of cotton with proper ' j marketi. g."
