countless billions of dollars in gold, ?
silver and paper money issued by our j

THE FIRST COTTON TO EC ROPE. 1
Export Corporation Expect? to Make
Shipment this Monti).
Columbia, Dec. 4-With the grant
ing, by the Secretary of State, of a
charter to the Aemrlcan Products
Export and Import Corporation, the
so-called export cotton corporation
becomes a going concern, having be
gun actual operation. Within the
present month, probably boforo
Christmas, tho first shipment of cot
ton will be made to Europe, thus es
tablishing direct connection between
tho Southern cotton grower and tho
European manufacturers, whoso mills
aro now closed. Tho stimulating ef
fect upon the domestic market will
bo reflected in a short time, as fol
lowing the first consignment other
shipments will be regularly made.
it. has boen less than two months
since, on Oct. 7, tho cotton exports
corporation movement was launched
nt a mooting held In Columbia. With
in that time nearly $2,000,000 of the
stock has been placod in South Caro
lina alono, all preliminary arrange
ments have been 'made for actual
business operations, connections have
boen established with European buy
ers, credit provisions have been per
fected, and what eight weeks ago
was only an idea lias become an nct
IIal fact. This is regardod as a rec
ord of accomplishment which will
challangu tho Interest of f.irmors and
other business mon of this and other
States and carry tho conviction that,
in ?bo determination to establish
the propor marketing facilities for
the South's staple, those boh Ind the
movomont-officers, directors and
stockholders alike-mean business.
