Texas cotton inquiries show smaller holdings this season
A Cleveland firm reports from numerous Texas towns that cotton held by farmers and ginners is far lower than last year. In many towns receipts are well under 6,000 bales for the season, with merchants holding modest totals and farmers reducing stocks as weathered cotton and market conditions influence sales. Overall, officials estimate a sharp decline in available cotton across the district, with several communities noting only a fraction of prior-year levels.
