Wannamaker Plan For Many Warehouses In Cotton Trade
In St Matthews on January 3 President J Skottowe Wannamaker of the American Cotton Association argues that cotton is the world’s most liquid asset with a vast market. He says warehouse receipts must prove location and grade, and that cotton should be stored under Federal supervision. He notes New York is not a natural storage hub and traces historical shifts in cotton storage, futures, and market dynamics. He cites large sums, production in the American South, and the growing scale of the cotton industry, with claims about stock levels, prices, and the economic impact of futures trading. He references the New York Cotton Exchange and global market considerations, ending with a teaser about continued discussion on page four.
