Cotton Opens Steady Amid Light Southern Selling
New York cotton markets open steady after an initial decline of 5 to 12 points as soft Liverpool cables and light southern selling limit losses. December trades around 10.38, March near 10.67, with hedging and local liquidation dampening advances. Multiple private crop reports show varied conditions and yields, but fail to shift the market significantly. Midday quotes place December about 10.38 and March about 10.69 amid quiet trading and modest declines.
