World cotton supply outlook and proposed acreage bill
Global cotton use runs about 2.4 million bales with a 1.75 million bale surplus. A new bill signed by the president aims to limit planting by using 149 planting sites for acreage allotments in future years to curb overplanting. The 1949 loan rate could drop to about 26.5 cents per pound if parity declines slowly, with loans on the 1949 crop at 90 percent of August 1949 parity. Parity and loan dynamics, along with exports, influence prices as the outlook looks bleaker than postwar conditions.
