Cotton Carryover Larger Aug 1 Than Year Ago Indicates
AUSTIN Aug 27 A summary from Dr A B Cox of the University of Texas bureau notes U S cotton carryover rose from 6 569 000 bales on Aug 1 1931 to 9 682 000 bales this year, with European port stocks down 58 000 bales and world supply still strained. He cites lower outside production, reduced US crop estimates by 4 275 000 bales, and a price trend suggesting a modest rise but paralleled by weak textile demand and large July consumption at 278 656 bales in the US.
