New York Cotton Market Sees Liquidation on Lower Cables
Liverpool selling marked the day as New York trading opened with scattered liquidation due to lower cables and favorable weather in the South. May cotton slipped to 1.44 and July to 28.88 on the call as gains faded and rains in the Southwest failed to end the drought. Private Washington reports cited agricultural policy debates, but no price fixing powers, leaving the market volatile with brief recoveries fading.
