Market anxieties drive cotton prices and rumors of inflation
The piece describes a volatile cotton market with “natural corner” speculation, rising prices, and fears of a man-made squeeze. It notes short crops in India and elsewhere, rising demand from American manufacturers, and unsettled expectations about how high prices will go amid rapid trading. It also covers public notices on Decoration Day, urging reverent tributes for fallen soldiers.
