German cotton purchases push world price to new high
Senators and representative described Germany's heavy buying of U S cotton, with 500 000 bales purchased since Aug 1 and exports of 250 000 to 300 000 bales. Sen Hoke Smith predicted 2 000 000 more bales needed by Oct 1 next year, warning prices could rise to 45 to 50 cents per pound if labor holds. Germany seeks low grade cotton from Texas and buys potash and other materials in the United States, leveraging credits in New York and neutral Europe as it expands in the American market. England remains the other major buyer with exports to that country totaling 470 000 bales.
