LAUNCH MOVE HOLD COTTON FROM MARKET

Context - explained by ACL:

At a conference of leading Texas bankers in Dallas, a plan was announced to raise a fund through the clearing house associations of Dallas, Houston, Waco, Austin and other large cotton centers, to be loaned at $50 a bale to retire part of the state's prospective cotton crop and stabilize the price. The director of the Texas Safe Farming Association prepared an itinerary to confer with bankers in the southwest and the old South, while bankers are to be urged to convert present crop loans into new loans on insured cotton with warehouse receipts or chattel mortgages attached, so that farmers can market the crop in an orderly manner and avoid dumping.
