Cotton Export Picture Brightens for US Mills
The United States, under a new export subsidy plan, shipped four times as much cotton abroad in August to October as in the prior year. October exports reached 621000 bales, with major buyers including West Germany and Japan. The 1956 crop is projected at about 13903000 bales, a drop from last year but above the Mevcar average. Farmers will harvest roughly 15.5 million acres, down from nearly 17 million last year, while yields stay high. Ginning continues in several states as forecasts add 150000 bales for November amid rapid California harvests. About 7.4 percent of planted cotton was not harvested nationwide due to pests and weather.
