Market cotton slowly says Stackhouse in Columbia
Former Governor Manning, president of American Products Export and Import Corp, released a statement through T B Stackhouse on the 1921 cotton situation. He cites a large dealer noting four million bales sold by September to November and warns premature marketing could plunge prices to seven to ten cents, whereas slow orderly selling could lift to fifteen to twenty cents. The Federal Reserve Banks and War Finance Corp plan support, with domestic and foreign mills buying cautiously to avoid price declines.
