Market for cotton will be improved
The War Finance Corporation reports total advances approved or in negotiation totaling about 903.5 million dollars, with 32.7 million approved and 30.8 million in negotiation, largely backing agricultural commodities. Cotton loans reach 16.56 million, with 15.23 million in pending applications covering roughly 500,000 bales for Oklahoma and Texas cooperatives. The 1,000,000 bale total signals substantial financing as South’s reduced acreage indicates a radical yield drop, while European recovery and potential overseas demand may bolster next year’s market.
