Blame Placed in Losses by Cotton Trade Decline
A government report led by Henry Planche attributes shifts in the cotton market to international finance and policy actions. It notes 2,723,000 bales fewer exports and 2,212,000 fewer bales in world consumption, with unsatisfactory conditions in U S cotton manufacturing and uncertainty over AAA reforms export subsidies and loans. The 1934-35 crop value is $600,307,489 versus $682,207,102 the previous year despite a rising cotton price trend for the staple.
