Excerpt from The Cotton Situation, Vol. 173: November 1957 U. S. Exports of cotton during the 1957-58 season are expected to be about 2 million bales smaller than those of 1956-57. A large part of this decline is due to the absence of the sharp cotton stock increase which cc curred last season, especially in cotton importing countries. There may even be a slight decline in cotton stocks abroad in 1957-58. However, consumption of cotton abroad has continued to increase while foreign cotton production since 1955 has leveled off. Exports of cotton in 1957-58, though smaller than in 1956-57, may be higher than any other season since 1919-50.
