Vast Cotton Withdrawal Plan Started
New Orleans October 10 four million bales of cotton will be withdrawn from the market and the average price cut by one third if southern and western bankers and leaders in the cotton industry adopt the plan advanced by Senator Joseph E Ramsdell at a meeting here. Under the plan storage of cotton to be withdrawn would be financed by banks with assistance from federal credit agencies at low rates. The cotton would be kept off the market for up to a year if needed and any withdrawal plan requires bankers to bind themselves not to finance the 1927 crop of growers planting more than two thirds of their acreage. Adoption will raise prices and lift producers who hold the bulk of the cotton.
