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.
