Cotton Market Eases Off in Week of May 21 27
The U S Department of Agriculture reports a quiet week for cotton from May 21 to 27 with prices about 44 cents lower than May 20. Domestic and foreign demand was limited with spot sales small and mostly to middling and 4-4/8 inch staples. New crop progress was favorable though cooler than ideal, and rains in the eastern belt aided outlook. Exports through May 27 were about 1.6 million bales above last year, while domestic mills showed scarce raw cotton demand and little forward contracting. Mill centers in the East and New England remained quiet, with some sales to plan for next season and limited inquiries for raw cotton.
