Cotton Coming In But None Goes Out In Mobile
Mobile reports heavy cotton receipts in early September outpacing last year with more than 43 000 bales, yet no shipments from Mobile docks. Through the 10th, 1 131 bales arrived and 1 353 bales were sent to New Orleans, while ships remain ready and loading delays persist. The Cotton Exchange notes the market heightening receipts but no export until ships are secured, and forecasts the crop may drop short of early estimates due to green seed and short staple.
