Callaway Predicts Good Cotton Prices Despite Hogland Clash
LaGrange cotton mill owner Fuller Callaway predicts cotton prices will rise to 15 cents a pound by summer 1917, arguing rock bottom markets and supply dynamics offset war turmoil. He cites 1.5 million bales diverted to South America and others, with U.S. 1916-17 crop projections near 12.5 to 13 million bales and a 1 million bale carryover, implying a looming shortage unless prices rise. He also notes political missteps could have avoided an extra legislative session and delays on appropriations.
