In New York on March 13 traders say little Egyptian cotton will be used in the United States at current prices. Egyptian cotton landed here is about double the cost of a year ago, with a three week rise. Manufacturers resist using American dyed cotton but admit Egyptian cotton cannot be profitably used now. Some claim high class goods will bear higher prices, while a dealer notes focus on treating home cotton to mimic lustre and color, possibly boosting American cotton.
