Cotton Market Slumps In New Orleans and New York
In New Orleans and New York the cotton market fell as country longs rushed to liquidate. prices dropped 45 to 66 points while bulls absorbed the decline. Reports of margins and false Far East rumors spurred weak long liquidation. futures remained bullish overall with heavy intraday swings and a later rally aided by New Orleans buying and firm bull support. Trading in New York opened higher but profits took the lead, with a late-day sell-off and a sensational close as July cotton approached last night’s levels. Estimated daily sales reached about 1.2 million bales.
