Augusta Market Report Notes Steady Cotton Demand

The Augusta market shows steady demand for cotton with prices quoted around six to eight cents for square bales. Buyers are active but many holders refuse to sell at current levels as both local and Hamburg stockpiles remain large for the season. Bagging remains in limited demand and groceries show a dull week, though merchants expect higher cotton purchases as prices rise.
