Raw Cotton Price Ceilings Set by Federal Office
The Office of Price Stabilization fixed a basic ceiling of 45.76 cents per pound for raw cotton both sold by merchants and by farmers. The rule applies to white middling 15/16 inch Area One from several Carolina counties. variations depend on grade length and location. The ceilings reflect highest market prices from Dec 19 to Jan 25. OPS Director Michael V. DiSalle said the order will reopen exchanges Monday, though New York traders expect a delay. DiSalle warned lack of farm-level controls could spur inflation in cotton textiles.
