Lowest Yield For Cotton In Six Years Seen Washington, August 8.—The Agri culture Department today estimated the 1950 cotton crop at 10,000,000 bales—smallest since the drought year of 1946—but officials said it does not foreshadow any overall shortages. Despite their assurances, cotton futures prices jumped IVfe cents a pound on the nation’s future’s mar ket after the crop estimate was made public this morning, indicating that the forecast was smaller than the trade expected. Agriculture experts said, however, that the 7,000,000 bale carryover from previous years will go a long way toward compensating for the small 1950 yield. But they did not rule out the possibility there may be shortags later this year in top and .during the 1949-50 marketing season lower grades of cotton. , j s expected to be the highest in ten “We’re not rolling in cotton as we!y ears> are in corn,” one spokesman said. ] , , A , , . *, This year s anticipated crop is “But there’s no need to worry about' it.” |820,000 bales, or 36 per cent, less Domestic consumption of cotton than last year. 1921-1949 Hugh L.
