The Cotton Supply Outlook in 1875
Receipts at ports from September 1874 to April 1875 total 3,254,706 bales, down 260,909 from last year, while exports reach 2,225,239 bales, 193,977 less. European demand remains sluggish, with American stock in Europe and afloat reduced by about 40,000 bales, and the anticipated year end supply hinges on the new crop. The year’s crop estimate has been cut from 4,333,000 to around 3,750,000–3,800,000 bales, suggesting heavy reliance on favourable market revival and weather.
