Oct. 12.—An average price of \ twko and one-half cents a pound over the average price received on the open mar- j kit is the amount which the menihijrs of 1 th eXorth Carolina t'ottoA Growers Vo- j operative Association will receive for the l!)22 crop—after deducting all expenses of operation—a showing that commands tile appreciation of the membership and demonstrates- the value of co-operative marketing. Checks are being mailed the members for the dual settlement now and will continue until every check is out. According to the results of a survey of the cotton markets throughout North Carolina cotton belt the average price paid for cotton during the season of 1922 was twenty-two cents. The final state ment of the Cotton Growers Cooperative Association shows- that the net average price which is being paid to the mem bers of thhe Association on sjmrt staple cotton is twenty-four and one-half cents, i This is the net price after paying all ex peuses of operation. Director of Information. T. W. Cham bliss, says that naturally the expense of operation was heavier for the past sea son than it would be the coming season, this being the experience of other co-op erative organizations. Starting with in experience. the untrained employes and the fact that every department had to be built up from the ground was necessarily more expensive than it will be from this time forward. There is another feature that is im portant. The co-operating associations I acted as a stabilizer of the mat-key and it J was evident that the average price receiv ed by the non-member of 22 cents was higher than it would have been without the influence of the ('-(Hierative Market ing Association. While tlp> final statement does not I show as mitWi gain for the members as j the managemettP hoped for. Mr. Cham-1 bliss is gratifying and j should assure those members who have | listened to enemies of co-operative mar-1 keting that they can depend upon re- j ceiving better returns for their labor j -when their product is handled co-opera-: tively. The fact that much of til# 1922 j crop had to be held for several mouths j lias naturally increased the expense. Finns for the coming year indicate an increased delivery of cotton and every de partment is ready for the work. The sales department has already made some sales both at home nud abroad and many sis the larger manufacturers with whom the association did business last year are making inquiries and are anxious to <Jo business the coming yeiir.

GERMANY NOW THE BEST COTTON BUYER IN NEW YORK And Pays Cash. $78,566,186 in ' Eight Months Despite the State of the Mark. New York Times. Despite the fact that its currency is well-nigh worthless in all markets, hav ing sold in New York yesterday at 2.000.000 marks to the dollar, Germany continues to be one of this country’s best customers for cotton, copper and meat products. In the last eight months Germany has bought approximately $lO,- 000,060 more eotton than ans other coun try, and in the same period her copper purchases have greatly exceeded those of any other one country. The question has heeh raised iu bank ing circles by thesje figures, issued by the Department of Commerce, as to how Germany has been able to finance these tremendous shipments of raw materials. In August, for instance, shipments of raw eotton to Germany were 70.209 bales, valued at $0,534,187. The next best customer was England, whose pur chases totalled 46.479 bales, valued at $5,998,725. For the eight months ended with Au gust. Germany took 500.644 bales of cot ton, valued at $J2.500,183. The next highest purchaser was England, which took 443.343 bales, valued at $62,352,401. In this connection it is interesting to note that Germuu imports 'during that period were approx imutelej double those of either France «r Euglund. ■ August shipments of copper to Ger many aggregated 9,580.645 pounds, valued •it sl.-100.319. These monthly shipments were exceeded only by those which" wept to France and England. For the fiist eight mouths of the yeur Germany's im ports of copper from the United States were 107.976.528 pounds, valued at $17.- 301.717. which is considerably larger thau •he value of copper shipped to any other country. Many bankers of the fiuam-ial district, 1 ‘liorouglily familiar with international 1 trade conditions, admit their inability to ascertain just how these Urge shipment’, if American raw materials have been financed. They know, of .course, that I Germany has had an opporeunity of | building her balances to a tremendous j size in this country by the sale of marks j over a long period, through shipments' if gold, through American cash now in Germany, through the sale of German securities abroad anti through balances -li other countries, drawn on by her im porters. But these hankers believe that some light might be thrown on this prob 'ein if the exact figures on imports and J exports, representing Germany's foreign trade, could be ascertained. Figures on Germany's exports are' nractically impossible to ascertain be- j cause of the cloak of secrecy thrown j ibout them, but it is admitted not only j bv the Department of Commerce, but by Uternationai bankers in touch with the I situation, that her exports probably arc. greatly in excess of her imports. • Investigations which have been ’ made j ill the financial district, while, they do | •lot conshtsivelj prove that all payments' ,were made in the same way, indicate j "hat Germany has been able to finance I the purchase of these' materials iu three | ways. First, b.g recourse to credit re- ! sel ves established ip the United States ,ver a long period- of time, aud which irobably starteed very soon after the I irmistice ami continued down to tliiu lay. iu diminishing ratio, however, as the mark became more-nearly worthless.
