Carryover of Short Staple Cotton Down
The August 1 1966 U S carryover of one inch and shorter cotton was revised to 7 022 367 bales from 8 347 739 in the first report, cutting its share to 42 6 percent. Errors in 1 1/32 and 1 1/16 inch staples raised the total to 8 411 574 bales, 50 7 percent, instead of 7 110 097 bales and 42 9 percent. PCG and USDA officials noted the miscalculation stemmed from warehouse sampling changes, affecting short staple totals and the overall market picture.
