ton. Texas, cotton trading firm or
Anderson, Clayton e. Co.
Operations in cotton sales on
call" made by Anderson. Clayton a
Co., OF Houston, Texas, in 1925 had
resulted IN boosting the price spin
ners paid when they took up their
contracts from So to 4 a bale. Marsh
told the committee.
To support this charge, Marsh said
the Houston firm had accumulated
1925 December futures contracts IN
New York during the summer and
early fall OF that year and at the
same time made "on call' sales 10
spinners, the price TO be paid to be
based on the December range
He said the Utica cotton firm II
Maynard a. Woodward found that An
derson, Clayton agents had approach
ed its customers, offering "son call''
contracts at $3.50 q bale less thar
any other dealer could possibly
sell II.
Anderson, Clayton hoped 70 re-
imburse themselves by the profit
they would make on their control OF
December futures in New York? ?"
Senator Smith, democrat. South Car
DINA committee chairman, asked.
Yes, sir. that is my charge"
Marsh said.
