Mills Cut Back on Cotton Cloth Production Amid Slump
The Wall Street Journal reports U.S. cotton cloth mills are cutting output after three months of sagging sales. Cuts are scattered with a 20 percent drop at Bates Manufacturing Co. in Maine and similar reductions at Berkshire Hathaway plants in Fall River and North Adams. A Cotton Manufacturers Institute official cites slow sales and low prices since mid February as driving reduced production and employment, with heavy Japanese textile imports a major factor. The administration aims to encourage foreign buyers of Japanese textiles to ease pressure.
