CORPORATION ENDORSED
Memphis, Tcon., April 10. Tht tug'
geatioa of W. P. ti, Harding, Governor
of the Federal Reserv Board, for the
orgaaUation of a. cotton corporation to
bo etpitalixed at $100,000)00, wat en
dorsed tnd a committee with full pow
era to act wat selected to draft plant for
lit formation at tht eonfertnet berg to
day ef planter, factors aad bankers
from virtually all of tho ootton grow'
ing States. This committee which be
gan it work immediately after adjourn
ment of th conference, wat instructed
to aotify Governor Pleasant, of Louis
iana, chairman of the convention, who
also heads the committee, whea its work
it completed, to ht can. call another con
ference to act oa itt program for or
ganization of the corporatioa.
Coald Control the Offerings.
''Such a corporation," Senator Owen
continued, "could, 4f necessary, with
hold its cotton front thr market so aa to
supply oaly the actual needs f th mar
ket.. 8uch a corporation would not bo
forced to sell its cotton because of any
temporary t'ack in demand. Abbvt all,
such a eerporatioa controlling a very
large volume of cotton, would b is a
position to command the attention of
th world."
"It is quite clear," the speaker said,
"as far as the producer! art concerned,
that when they are competing with each
other everywhere in selling their cot
ton, when th cotton is being piled up
in excess of tho capacity of th ytrdt
and whea it is ia excess of tha facilitiea
arranged for transportation, the cotton
cannot be experted to bring what would
be a fair price if these obstructions were
removed.
"Much a corporatioa could meet these
obstructions and bring to the producer
a better price, give stability to the mar
ket tnd preve-t wide fluctuations ia
prices due to avoidable factors. The
result of this would lie bene tit to the
merchants who buy the cotton of a pro
ducer in the market. It would benefit
the cotton buyer because his business
will have a new measure, of stability
without the element of violent fluctua
tions always an element of danger, at
well at sometimes furnishirg an oppor
tunity of profit."
-It wnt origianlly understood the com
mittee would report at the acreage re
duction conference to be held it New
Orleans next month, but it was decided
to receive the report St mother meet

order not. to confueo tht two move
