Cotton Textile Prices Edge Toward Bottom
Prices in the cotton textile market continued to slide this week with the 80 square print cloth dropping from 19 to 18 1/2 cents a yard. Buy offers for large quantities suggested a possible end to the decline, though overall business remained slow. W Ray Bell of the Association of Cotton Textile Merchants notes mills may cut production by about one billion yards in the first half of 1949, with inventory levels not excessive and public demand stronger than primary market transactions. Rayon goods stayed quiet while crepes and sheets held steady and acetate yarns saw lower adjustments.
