Cotton price outlook blamed on holding movement
Washington August 5 The Reserve Bank policies of 1919 and 1920 aimed to safeguard the banking system and credit lines, not to fix cotton prices. Governor Harding told a congressional committee that prices were stabilized by a short crop and credit measures, while denying deflation caused by policy. He urged producers to sell part of the crop and expand export credit machinery, condemning misguided advice from 1920 campaigns that cotton growers deserved 40 cents a pound regardless of economics.
