Cotton Demand Readjustment Seen as Mills Brace for 15 Million Bale Target
New York October 28 Many cotton mill men foresee a period of readjustment as the world spins toward a 15 million bale requirement while U S cotton output has fallen short. A mill president says 14 cent cotton will curb consumption if raw material hits 70 a bale. Domestic takings in September totaled 469 870 bales with stocks at 668 252 bales the lowest in 18 months. Southern mills show firmer buying and stocks down, while overall consumption averages 488 000 bales monthly. The shift to higher prices and tighter supply is expected to slow expansion and push up yarn and fabric prices as mills run to meet orders rather than anticipate demand.
