Albert community growers sold 111 bales at 10 cents per pound net, while about 220 bales were loaned at a rate near the regular market. higher cotton prices and lend lease exports bolster equity value as Congress debates raising the 1941 loan rate to about 12.5 to 13.5 cents per pound, fueling active buying before any change takes effect.
