FINANCE COTTON CROP
Letter Sent Out Showing System
Contemplated By Federal
Reserve Banks.
LOT ^ BANK A MEMBER
Bank? ' ~>?ared to Take Care of Cotton in a Way That
o^ill Not Force Cotton Crop Upon Market.
Th? following is tho copy of an open letter to the banking, mer
cantile and agricultural interests of North and Sonth Carolina,
which has been received by A. M. Dumay, cashier of the First
National Bank of this city:
On August 9th the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond published
its circular No. 23 addressed to member banks which gives detailod
suggestions with reference to leans on cotton as collateral, and which
we think everyone interested in cotton should read. Wo are asking
that it be published in oonnoction with this letter.
The Federal Reserve Board at Washington, and the Southern
Federal Reserve Banks are all thoroughly awake to the necessities
of the situation, and are prepared to take care of cotton in such h
way that it will not be necessary to force the coming crop upon the
market regard leas of price. To accomplish this, however, it will 1m
necessary for banker*, farmers and merchants to cooperate, and by
.his wo meau they should counstl with each other and pull together.
If the merchants and farmers are indifferent to the fact that there
's a plentiful supply of moilfv available for carrying properly ware
housed cotton, and if the member banks do not furnish the noceesarv
facilities for loans and do not encourage their customers to market
'he crop intelligently, the efforts of the Federal Board and tho
Southern Reserve Banks will amount to little. and we may see the
?rice of cotton unnecessarily depressed.
The situation is one which demands the very best thought and
nost patriotic efforts of all concerned, not in behalf of any one class
done. Ityit fo $ the couunou gpod, It would he selfish for the banks
jy*- < ndr'a ti o? ft? ?"*
igure which will pre the producer a fair proajteet of a living profit
n holding his cotton. Such an attitude cannot be justified *r prev
ent as mone>- is both plentiful and available. On the other hand it
vouJd be equally unfair for tho producer to decline to put his cotton
n safe storage whereby it can be used to raise money with which
-o pay merchauts and bankers for advancements already made. The
msincps men of every southern town should S4*e to it that safe and
adequate storage room to take care of th?- local coitou is promptly
ivailable. Where properly warehoused and insured, cotton affords,
it say 75 per cent of its market value, as good a form of collateral
?s can be obtained. To make it availablo however the farmer, tin*
nerchant and the banker, must work together, "each tor nil. ail lor
ach," and any attempt '*to go it alone" will occasion demoralization
n prices. We should recognize the fact that the world has for the
>ast. year faced unprecedented conditions and that these conditions
nay remain unchanged for some tim : come. A demoralized cot
?ro market this fall v-'ll affejt ai ?cst vtry business interest in our
?rtion ? in fact, should cott u duiine lo a price below tho cost of 1
Mvduction and l. mai:* there tor any length of time there will be
[anger of m.:nero*'s fa j res and much of the good paper now held
>y Southern lank? .nay become questionable.
Some r-ny assume from the foregoing that we are pessimistic -*9
> the cott n situation for the immediate future, but this is not so.
ho present crop will probably not be greater than the world's con
sumption under war conditions. With {judicious (marketing and
level headed' handling of the situation the cotton problem should
live itself, and the crop should bring a price that will allow the
roducer s fair living after paying the cost of production.
We do not assume to suggest a rate of interest for carrying cotton
vliieh will meet conditions in every section. We do. however, call
sttention to the fact that certain Wanks have made it a practice for
everal years to loan money on stored cotton at the rate of G per cent,
hough some of them, we are informed, were unable to name that
ate last fall. In considering the rates at which they can afford to
oan money on cotton, member bank# should I tear in mind that tho
I federal Reserve Hank of Richmond will, as indicated in its oircular,
'umish such loans without prejudice to the normal lino of credit
'Xtended to oach bank. In most cases, therefore, the member banks
vill be acting only as a guarantor and intermediary Iwtween tho
federal Reserve Hank and the farmer.
It is "up to" the bankers, buainons men and farmers of the South
o rise tp tbe situation, work together for the common good, and
>revent any repetition of the distressing conditions prevalent lakt
'all. The problem is simply to place a relatively small crop -on the
narket no faster than the world is willing to take it at living price*.-*
Tho Federal Reserve aet was passed, largely to meet such extraor
dinary conditions as now confront us, and it would 1 * a crying
iharne if this act should fail to aeord its full beneficent aid solely
through a lack of oo-operation on the part of those most vitally in
terested. What with an abiding faitH-in the common sense of wr
people and a strong hope that each will do his part, we cherish tho
belief that we sfiail find ourselves at the end of this cotton season in
a far "more stablo financial condition than at present.
Many of our State banks are eligible for membership in the Re
servo Syfeten*. If all such would promptly become members it
would greatly facilitate the handling of the situation and It would,
we believe, be of great benefit to the banks themselves.
