The Holland Letter explains two initial steps toward ending financial embarrassment. Banks in New York pledge eighty two million in gold to meet maturing obligations, followed by a national gold pool enabling exchange with abroad. Further steps include cotton warehousing and warehousing receipts to secure emergency currency. Texas leads with a cotton warehousing system backed by state receipts and possible 73 percent loaning, while Treasury notes backed by cotton receipts are considered. The aim is to stabilize the cotton harvest, ease southern distress, and open New York securities markets as foreign debt is settled.
