Cotton Market Review of the Past Week
New York December 18 The cotton market was firmer last week recovering much of prior decline after government crop estimates. Demand broadened modestly with rising exports, especially from Galveston, while domestic mill consumption slowed. Census data showed November intake down from prior month and last year. End-of-mall stocks remained light, exports likely to stay strong into January. Traders covered positions, but hedge selling was limited as pre-holiday offerings stayed sparse.

Professional views on cotton market
New York December 18 Special. Cubies are due but the market shows an unsteady opening. Government acreage figures on winter wheat in the south imply potential cotton acreage reductions in spring. Texas and Oklahoma see large wheat expansion, with 200 percent increases east of the river. War news and vessel-clearance rumors weighed on prices, offset by a favorable Interstate Commerce Commission rate decision. Prices closed near day’s best on western buying, with a probable later reaction as spot markets lag. Hubbard Bros. & Co.
