Deputy Controller of the Currency Coffin, in discussing the recent ad vance in money rates in New York said: Some of the recent sharp advances in rates of interest on demand loans in New York is no doubt due to specula- tive manipulation of the stock market, but I think the impulse to this npward turn has been given by the heavy withdrawal from New York of funds for the legiti mate purpose of moving the cotton crop now coming to market. As a resident of South Carolina, familiar with the movement of this crop, I have for years observed its effect upon national bank statements, as well as on the money market in New York during the month of September. Asa rule the rates of interest advance about this time, and in some years have approached the danger line, and while the movement of wheat and other grain crops has contributed to this effect, etill I think the move ment of the cotton crop has been the main factor for this reason. The average value of the cotton yield is about $300,000,000 and it is practical ly marketed between October 1 and March 1, or within a period of live months, but it is pecular m this res- The South." j A Missouri man wants to establish a j cob factory at Salisbury, N.

The exceptionally warm weather nf thfl first half of the niontli ma tured corn rapidly, and has placed nearly the whole crop beyond injury from frost. Owing to conditions of drougnt in some of the more important States, grain, particularly the late crop, aid not fill well, and the reports indi cate that much will be chaffy. Cutting has progressed rapidly under favorable conditions, and in some of the more important corn States will be practi cally completed by the end of Septem ber. Cotton has continued to open -very rapidly, and picking has been vigorous ly carried on. The reports indicate that much the greater part of the crop over the central and eastern portions of the cotton bslt is now open, and that the bulk of it will be secured by October 15. In Texas picking was interrupted over the greater part of the State dur ing the early part of the week by rains which damaged open cotton, but prov ed beneficial to the late cotton and the top crop.

These figures, I think, too, show how vital an interest bankers, mer chants and farmers in the cotton grow in States have in a currency which would be elastic. If any plan could be devised under which the Southern banks could issue additional currency, equal to one-fourth of their capital stock during the cotton season it i, ti cmdsend to that sec- n uuiu ,J e , . , , i i it, would enable the DanK.s r there to furnish the money needed without outside aid, and free from the cost of interest now paid on borrowed mense crowd.
