Alabama Bankers Visit Magic City To Discuss Plans
Alabama bankers meet in Birmingham to map a plan with the Federal Farm Board and the Cotton Stabilization Corporation. The scheme would extend commitments on about 2,000,000 bales for 1930 31 or earlier years to July 31, 1932 unless prices exceed 12 1 2 cents per pound on the near month New York Cotton Exchange. If acreage reductions pass, the Farm Board would extend the arrangement another year. The Stabilization Corporation would maintain its present release of cotton around 1,300,000 bales. Conventions of state bank associations will be called to implement the plan with state and federal banking officials.
