Kobe Japan September 27 1920 despite high prices and credit limits observers expect Japanese cotton consumption for the year starting August 1 1920 to reach about 1 820 000 bales of 5090 pounds with American cotton around 525 000 bales. Mills have gained 10 to 15 percent capacity and imports likely total under 690 000 bales while 200 000 bales remain stored. Trade disruptions include erratic yarn prices and strained contracts as banks restrict credit and mills renegotiate terms with major players, often on a 50 percent reduction from contract prices.
