Not money alone, however, moving to the harvest field and back in the form of additibnal currency, for credit in the form of acceptance makes up a goodly por- tion of the estimated $400,000,000 required to move America’s crops The movement of funds, begin- ning early in September, starts 'nl the large cities and flows gradual.k ly to the farming communities. The return flow, noticeable during Sep- tember, October and November, spreads from the southwest across the fields of Kansas, up from the southeast and down from the northwest until the money is back at its source in the money distries of the middle Atlantic states. » The outward flow usually is sig- nalized by “tight money” in the security markets; the return by an easing of money market condi- tions and increased business in agricultural sections. There is a lull for a while, and then the out- ward flow is Jesumed, spreading thraulmut the' country this dfl. the Christinas demand for funds, estimated at $200,000,000. Early in the following year it re turns again. Spring crop planting usually is financed by small town banks. By harvest time farmers have repaid their loans but seek new financing for the harvest, and the village banks draw upon the small eity in. stitutions to meet the demand. Purchase and transportation of the crop is financed chiefly by banks of the larger cities of the interior. As the raw material reaches the eastern market and the manufacturer, financing is carried on by the large banks of established money centers. Meanwhile the smaller banks have. cleared the early loans and are repaying the larger banks for the harvesting aid. These in turn clear their accounts with the in- terior banks from which they bor- rowed, and the money and credit gradually return to the gigantic financial institutions of the eas!. ~These lend it anew to manufac- turers desiring to finance prepara- to m tions for the Christmas trade.
