DROP IN COTTON
EXPORTS CERTAIN
New Marketing Season Is
Opening; Last Years
Sales Increase

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-tR-Aft-
or gaining a sales peak, a new cot
ton marketing season began today
with prospects, of a dip that wor-
ried producers and federal + r m
officials.
By custom, the cotton marketing
season opens August 1-about the
time that the new crop starts 10
market in volume.
In a decade of sharp ups and
downs. the season which closed
yesterday was n Of the pest
Sales totaled about 13, 300, 900 bales
or $500, 900 bales more than in the
previous season. Exports amount
ed to $500, 900 bales, the largest
volume since 1888, after having
fallen to 1927, 900 in the previous
season.
But cotton experts in the agricul-
ture department predict a tobog-
gan-like slide for foreign S S
during the new season. They ex-
pect Exports to drop below the g.
600, OOO-bale mark because coun-
tries to which the United States
normally sells half its exports can
not be reached on account of the
European war and the British
blockade.
Only Great Britain and Japan re-
main as stable customers, a nd
neither is likely to buy heavily this
season. Both have accumulated
large reserves and are %curtalling
civilian consumption Of cotton pro-
ducts.
Officials said the dark export
prospects would necessitate a fed
eral program under which I'm
exportable surpluses of this years
crop would be withdrawn fr ON
market channels and stored under
government loans.
Uncle Sam now has about $780,
900, 600 invested in 5000, 900 bales
of surplus cotton stored under SIM
liar programs in previous years. A
year ago loan stocks totaled H.
$50, 900 bales. This reduction
which may be wiped out this sea-
son-came about as a result of the
sharp increase in exports during
the past season.
