Plenty Cotton for Qua Needs
New York reports ample cotton supply this season despite a short crop. Government estimates place total production around 13 million bales, with linters adding about 1.2 million. Consumption projected near 12.8 million, leaving a potential carryover of roughly 2.8 million. Labor shortages and war conditions influenced harvest, but favorable weather may push final output past 12 million bales.
