Cotton trade prospects from Messrs Messia Cropper Benson and Co
The circular outlines how US cotton exports rose from 166 000 to 205 000 bales yearly between 1817 and 1819, with 1820 exporting 302 000 bales and a projection of 580 000 for the current year. Prices have fallen, reducing grower returns, while demand in Europe rises. 1823 cotton is expected near 500 000 bales. 1822 was 560 000. Consumption in Europe and America is rising 12 percent yearly, with many mills building. Next year’s supply is forecast at 850 000 bales, leaving a 290 000 bale gap to meet demand, implying higher prices to spur production. The piece notes uncertainties and possible data inquiries.
