Weld's Defense of New York Cotton Exchange
Edward M Weld vice president of the New York cotton exchange replies to an Atlanta Constitution editorial on May 1 1907 defending the exchange. He names the leading brokers and asserts delivery grades will be narrowed after March 1 1908 and defends classification rules and past practices while acknowledging a past error in grade delivery differences.
