Atlanta Cotton Reaches 14 Cents On Strong Trade
The Atlanta cotton market surged as New York and New Orleans futures spiked while the local spot rose 90 points to 14 cents, a high mark since January 21. Experts predict a Georgia crop under 1.5 million bales due to the boll weevil and heavy rains, with prices possibly climbing to 18 or 20 cents in the fall helped by War Finance loans. The first Georgia bale of the season sold for 26 66 cents, 175 dollars net, from Henry County.
