Cotton crop may fail to make money in Phoenix
Arizona growers face unstable prices for long and short staple cotton as a weak market and high costs threaten profits. Last year’s price around 1.20 per pound would yield about 60 million dollars from 186000 acres if repeated, but October cotton sells for about 83 cents and demand remains uncertain. Growers store for hoped price rises while markets in England and elsewhere consider competition with Egyptian cotton and local buyers note dwindling Sea Island demand. Production costs per bale place breakeven near the current market, prompting fears of loss and calls to reassess planting plans before year’s end.

Firemen End Standoff With Railroad Ultimatum
Eight Tucson division firemen on the Southern Pacific accepted the Wednesday ultimatum from division superintendent William Wisop.
