Five years back may not repeat this trend. The 1931-32 American cotton supply, including new crop and carryover, stands about 5 million bales larger than the 20,000,000 bale stock in 1930-31. If world consumption does not rise, a 1932 carryover near 14,000,000 bales could occur, rivaling a normal crop. historically carryovers averaged about 6,000,600 bales.
