Insurance Against Bryan Affects Wool Firm Plans
Silberman Brothers of Chicago, a wool trader handling 24.8 million pounds annually, seeks a $100,000 insurance policy and a $10,000 premium to guard against a Bryan victory in November. They argue a Democratic win would depress wool markets and clothing sales, harming business for months, though they stress the move is a business decision, not political.
