Cotton price views from New Orleans operator Hayne
Frank B Hayne of New Orleans argues the government crop estimate of 12 162 000 bales is too high and 74 cents a pound is unfairly inflated. He says 10 cents is fair and urges southern planters to hold back cotton to force better prices, citing Price and other market dynamics. He warns bankers and spinners but stresses holding 10 percent of the crop and using margins to avoid ruinous prices.
