Record cotton bale sale aids Texas flood relief in New York
The first 1899 cotton bale sold at the New York Cotton Exchange set a record at $2000 destined for Texas flood sufferers. The buyer was the Exchange itself, via superintendent William V. King, with plans to resell in Boston for similar aid. The 500 pound bale originated in San Patricio County Texas and was shipped through New Orleans.
