Washington, Dec. 20.r—Bankers’ ac ceptance of six month’s maturity, drawn by growers of staple agricul ture products or co-operative market ing associations, are eligible for pur chase or rediscount by the federal re serve banks, under a ruling- promul gated Wednesday by the federal re serve board as a step in the direction of longer term credits for agricult ure. Officials declared the decision which makes the agricultural paper eligible for rediscounts for six months in stead of three, “should be of material assistance to co-operative marketing associations in financing the orderly marketing of crops.” Acceptance of six months have been asked for by many agricultural organizations and the longer period is believed by officials to more nearly accord with the turnover period re quired by the farmers to market cropa for whose production he has borrowed money. The ruling requires that the accept ance he secured by warehouse re ceipts covering the product against which the acceptance are drawn. It is in line with a policy announced some time ago by the board which which made eligible for rediscount, acceptances drawn to finance domes tic storage of commodities pending marketing. Agricultural paper of this charac ter is placed on a parity with ac ceptances drawn against exports and imports which have been extended from three to six months. Officials explained that the six months’ limitation was as far as the board could go under the existing law. Various bills are pending in congress, however, to, make accept ances-with much, longer maturity eligible for re-dlcoun£-hy the reserve banks.
