MONEY FOR COTTON READY
ON SAPIRO MARKET PLAN
The War Finance Corporation has
lined up squarely behind the first
big cotton growers association organ
ized under the Sapiro plan of co
operative marketing with an advance
of $5,000,000 and has innoumced it
self ready to finance other similar or
ganizations. This is taken by cotton
men to be of tremendous importance
to Georgia growers, the organisation
of the planters of this state under the
Sapiro plan now being on. Congress
man Chas. R. Grisp, of Americus, fur
nishes the Times-Recorder from
■Washington a statement on the policy
of the War Finance corporation rela
tive to cotton loans issued by Eugene
Meyer, Jr., its managing director.
Accompanying the statement xvas a
letter of Congressman Crisp from A.
W. McLean, a director of the War
Finance* corporation, which said:
“My dear Congressman: I en
close press statement, showing re
cent plan adopted by the War Fi
nance Corporation in respect to the
exportation of cotton. We are do
ing our very best to help out this sit
uation. The demand is so slack in
Europe that the directors of the cor
poration thought best to offer this
the capital make Senator Jones one
of their favorites.
And this could continue forever, but
space is valuable. Sufficeth to say
that Major Devereaux F. McClachey,
secretary of the senate, has a busy
time keeping up with his senatorial
children.

plan, by which cotton can be held
over for future export, so that the
actual export movement can take
place as fast as foreign markets will
absorb it.’
The statement by Managing Di
rector Meyer follows in full:
The advance of $5,000,000 to the
Staple Cotton Cooperative Associa
tion, bf Memphis, approved recently
by thd War Finance 'Corporation,
marks the adoption of a new policy
by the Directors of the Corporation.
The Corporation, which was directed
by the congress to resume operations
for the purpose of assisting in finan
cing the exportation of domestic pro
ducts by making advances to Ameri
can exporters and American bankers,
has steadily broadened its policy in
order to meet the present emergen
cy which exists in the marketing of
agricultural and other commodities.
At first, advances were made to ex
porters only on cotton actually ex
ported under definite contracts of
sale, but later, following conferences
with cotton exporters and bankers
in Washington, New Orleans and
New York, the corporation announces
its readiness to consider applications
in connection with the exportation
of cotton on any one of the three
following plans:
1. For prompt shipment against
deferred payments.
. For future shipments within a
reasonable time against either
prompt or deferred payments, after
arrival in foreign countries where
goods Were under definite
for sale; or
3. For prompt shipment to ware
houses in foreign distributing points
to be held there on account of the
American exporters and bankers for
marketing out of warehouses.
The advance to lite Staple Cotton
Cooperative Association carries these
plans a step farther. By its terms,
the association agrees that, out of
the 1(10,000 bales of long staple cot
ton pledged as security, it will export
within one year a quantity Sufficient
to repay the full amount of the loan
out of the proceeds of export sales—
the cotton to be held in American
warehouses until the time is favor
able for export. The advance re
presents approximately one-half of
the present market value of the cot
ton and will run for a maximum of
one year, but may be repaid sooner
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
as the cotton is exported and sold.
The Staple Cotton Cooperative as
sociation comprises within its mem
bership many of the leading cotton
planters in the Delta District of the
Mississippi. In fact, the owners and
producers of 220,000 bales of long
staple cotton, out of a total average
yield of approximately 600,000 bales,
have agreed to sell their cotton
through this organization. The action
of the corporation will enable the
association to market its cotton in
an orderly way during the current
cotton year without unduly forcing
sales. ’ _
If a similar plan could be carried
out in connection with other types
of cotton, it would be helpful in re
lieving the situation. Properly financ
ed, it would insure the orderly mar
keting of tffe crop and make it un
necessary for the producers to dump
on the market unduly large quantities
of distressed cotton within a short
period. But it would do more. It
would help the market so that the
consumers of cotton would perhaps
feel justified in replenishing their
stocks, which, in most cases, are much j
lower than usual at this season of,
the year.
.The War Finance Corporation i
stands ready to assist other organi
zations, as well as cotton exporters
and banking institutions, in the same
way that it has assisted the Staple
Cotton Cooperative Association, pro
vided the advances can be made upon
a sound business basis and provided
also that the corporation may be
definitely assured that the advances
will be repaid from the proceeds of
export sales within a year.

WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW
Wall Street Expects Roads To
Start Boom
BY ALBERT APPLE.
Wall street now inclines to the be
lief that business revival, when it
starts, will beg;n with heavy buying
of equipment and supplies by the rail
roads.
Herbert Hoover points out that
"the railroads normally consume 20
per cent of all materials and em
ploy, directly or indirectly, 20 per
cent of all labor in the United
States.”
That is a potential buying power
big enough to pujl the whole coun
try out of depression.
Hence Wall street considers it
very important that the railroads
lately are making a much better fi
nancial showing.
Idle freight cars have been reduced
,to 373,791, says latest reports of
| American Railway Association.
‘ Three months ago there were 507,-
i 274 idle cars.
i In the week ended June 25, latest
reported, number of cars loaded with
revenue-producing freight on all
American* railroads was 775,061,
against 845,694 cars same week
1919.
Many railroad repair shops are
being re-opened.
Weathervanes.
“Last week was one of the most
satisfactory weeks in meat trade for
two years, despite the hot weather,”
says Armour & Co. This shows
better public confidence in business
situation. Butchers for several
months have been doing bad busi
ness, reflecting consumers’ economy.
June building activity was 6 per
cent less than May, in money fig
; ures, say F. W. Dodge Co. reports.
Total tonnage Jof American ex
ports in May was 23 per cent greater
than in May 1913, with prices averag
ing 32 per cent higher.
Auto business is ten per cent more
prosperous than any other industry,
claims Alfred Reeves, president, Na
tional Autumobile Chamber of Com
merce.
Cotton production promises to be
smallest in quarter century.
Textile manufacturers are running
average of 60 to 70 per cent capacity,
says Bradstreet’s.
Postoffice receipts at 50 leading
postofl'ices in June were nearly twice
as big as in June, 1913.
Corn exports last week 200 times
as big as same week in 1919, and
more than 10 times as big as same
week 1920.
Wholesale prices in June averaged
an advance of about 1 per cent, says
Bradstreet’s, which keeps tab on
prices of 96 leading commodities.
But Dun’s, which keeps track of
prices of 327 articles, says wholesale
prices dropped average of nearly 4
per cent.
In last few months, several indus-

Kiwanians Hear Pastor
Member In Club Sermon
A large per centage of the mem
bers of the Americus Kiwahis club
and their ladies attended services at<
the First Baptist church in a body
Sunday night, at the invitation of the
pastor. Dr. Carl W. Minor, who is,. a
member of the club, and heard a ■
sermon prepared especially for them
on the club’s motto, "We Build.?’ .
Dr. Minor developed a Biblical narra
tive of David’s plan to build a house
for the Lord, which he was not, per- r
mitted to do, but for which he .was.
commended by the Lord because of
the purpose in his heart. Dr. Minor
showed that in the plan or purpose of ,
the Kiwanians of the world to build
lies a powerful force for good, even
though it is left for those who come
after to do the actual building.
