' TWO MILLION BALES COTTON TO BE RETIRED FROM MARKET i i American Cotton Association Decides Upon the Measures as Part of Gen- ! eral Campaign for Reasonable Prices. ^ Columbia, Nov. 5?Two million ""^-^bales of .good grade cotton from the present crop will be retired from the market by the American Cotton Association, according to a statement issued" by J. Skojtowe Wannamaker, president of the association, j issued here today. ! The plan adopted by the associa-' tion is to transfer to the designated banks, warehouse receipts for speci ' m lied amounts of good grade cotton. This cotton is to be held in trust until such time as the association decides ; that- prices justify the cotton being wT placed upon the market. F ' . Mr. Wannamaker declares that in ' the unanimous opinion of experts of ^the association based upon supply N and demand and the price of the manufactured product, the price of cotton should be far above present prices and that the plan of retiring the two million bales had been hit upon as offering the best opportunity for stabilizing the price. ' * The statement issued by Mr. Wan ' namaker announcing the intention of the association following in part: "The experts of the American Cotton Asso<?iatiort after a careful investigation of supply and demand, the fcrice of the manufactured product< and the price of other commodities 1 "have ^unanimously recommended that ^ that the association retire two million bales of good grade cotton from ^ the present crop. The plans which ^ were recommended and which have _ ^ been adopted call on the member-1 ship of each State -to voluntarily ; c transfer 'to designated banks ware- : | house receipts for specified amounts y of good grade cotton. This cotton i to be held in trust until such time! as the association decides that prices! justify the cotton being placed upon : the market. It is the unanimous de- J cision of our expeAs that on account ,., of the enormous demand for raw ^ cotton and the great shortage it will not be necessary to carry this cotton longer than the summer of 1920. jc Responses being received from various sections of the belt show ready compliance on the part of the h membership of the association. Each 6 State is urged to report the amount r of cotton set aside under -this' ^ . -arrangement to the president of the. American Cottort Association. The ? amount of cotton already pledged in- " ^ 1 ill "U, T OlCSieS mat Ulis piau v?m Iiut Uiujr uc fully approved but that an amount far in excess oft the amount requested will be taken entirely off the ^ . market. * - I] HOPES TO REGAIN EIGHTY DOLLARS. m - ! ^yTun, an Braves Red .Tape for Cash. | ' | A young South Carolinian, serving ft tis a. private in the United States ' ' ? -;.1- J 4.1.. - - 1 ? army, iook sick aim, upon uie auvnc of a physician, went to a civilian hos- c pital.
