May Export Easing Cotton Market Outlook
Secretary Brannan announced that next year’s cotton crop will lack pre war production controls boosting both domestic and foreign demand. He forecast total shipments of 153 million running bales for the season ending August 1 with 4 million bales to be exported abroad, up from 1.968 million last season. Brannan noted the normal supply is 18.3 million bales, but the 19.164 million supply leaves 310,000 bales above the control threshold, making quotas unnecessary if no action is taken. He cited administrative costs and needed acreage adjustments as reasons to avoid a new control program.
