Flood likely to affect 1927 cotton prices in North Carolina
Raleigh April 30 AP flood waters from the Mississippi and tributaries threaten about two million bales of cotton land in the state. A B Blalock of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association says initial market gains near 100 points gave way to a dip after warm belt reports. He predicts delta long staple cotton may be replanted after floods subside, which could delay crops and raise boll weevil risk but not necessarily cut output.
