Cotton loan plan faced legal review amid wartime losses
Washington reports a $455 million loss to American cotton farmers from plummeting prices this year as World War I disrupts markets. The Agriculture Department notes November 1 prices fell to 6.2 cents per pound from 12 cents last year, shrinking farmer income and seed prices. Attorney General Gregory later concludes the proposed cotton loan fund of about $139.9 million does not violate federal anti trust laws, as plans focus on liquidity rather than price fixing.
