Waahington, KdV. J8. Denying per
sistent tumors to the effect that tho
Federal reserv banks have centem
plated tho recall of loans mad on
cotton or the future issuance of loans,
W, P. G. Harding, Governor of th Fed
eral Reserve Board, in a letter today to
Senator Smith, of Sooth Carolina, States;
tho only change made in tho position
of the bank regarding cotton loans was
a tendency to stricter examination into
tho grade of cotton shown by the re
ceipts pledged as collateral. ' '
- "-Tho bank will aot assume the valuo
of ven25 cents a pound, Mr. Harding
said, funics the receipts do indicate
tho grade or other satisfactory evidence
is furnished as to what tho grade is.
There are so many different grades of
cotton and the spread between th vaiu
of the lowest and tho highest gri ia
ao great that it seems to me that some
knowledge is necessary of tho grade in
lending intelligently on cotton as collat
eral." -'..'" rT.j
Mr, Harding declared thero was noth
ing to warrant the inference that 23
eents a pound was to be regarded t a
maximum salable value' for loan ur-
poses, adding: "Wo know that some
long-staple eottoa recently sold in Kew
vricans at 10 cent a pouna, ana we
know also that it is not unusual for the
fluctuations in cotton to a,mount to. as
much as 800 points in a singls day. In
these circumstances it seem to m that
it ia, necessary - to ' require a . larger
margin ia making loans oa totton than
was the case when Cotton was selling at
a much lowv-r price and wa free from
tho extraordinary fluctuation to which
it i now object." ." , -
While believing that the Federal ro
aerv system should do everything pos
sible, with due regard to .safety and
to th "want aad requirements of other
MUMnWI (ntMmta ia th . mtmmirw
to aid th eottoa producers to market1
their products in a gradual aara orderly
manner, so -that ao oao might bo forced
to sell at a sacrifice, Mr. Harding said
th banks should not be used as a
medium to enable tho owners of cotton
to withhold it entirely from the msrket
with tho view of forcing prices to an
nn reasonable level. . - .
