vedtaally trade ia all products of the
South but cotton will.be the staple
which will receive first attention.
It was pointed , eut by Chairman Mod.
dox that the formatioa ef tba company
is not for tbe purpose of controlling
the cotton situation -or in aiding the
holding of cotton for higher prices, but
rather for tbe purpose of financing the
sales or cotton and other products to
foreign countries aad providing- the
banking facilities for this elass of busi
ness. .
There is, as we all know." said Mr.
Haddox, "a wide discrepancy ia the
customs as to credit periods, between
most foreign countries and our own.
Whereas, the American business man is
accustomed to doing business oa
sixty or ninety liy basis, ths foreigner
generally expects nine months' credit
whea ha makes a purchase. It is in
order ta carry over the acceptances aad
other papers which are received ia this
