Financing Texas cotton boosts advance terms in Texas
In Fort Worth a meeting between Malcolm Chaka for Galveston barking houses and Farmers' Union President D J Nutt settled terms to finance Texas cotton on liberating terms. They offered advances based on delivery choices: ship to Galveston receive New York exchange immediately, hold for owner at 200 per bale, sell at banker discretion at 30 per bale, or ship to foreign markets with a 35 per bale advance. The move aligns with the fifteen-cent cotton battle within the Union. It is expected to spur widespread movement of the Texas cotton crop.
