Cotton Up Trifle During Last Week j ; 90% of Estimated 1946 Crop Ginned Through November , Cotton prices advanced a tittle L more than a cent a pound during last week. The official estimate of: the 1946 cotton crop as of December 1 was slightly smaller than the pre- | vious forecast and about in line with trade expectations. Almost 90 per cent of the indicated crop had been ginned through November. Prices for middling 15 10 inch in | the 10 spot markets averaged 32.28 cents per pound on Friday, December , 13. This compares with 31.20 a week ] ago, and 24.53 a year ago. The end i of the strike, coupled with the , comparatively small supply of cotton in relation to the current high rate , of mill consumption, appeared to be the principal price strengthening ] factor of the week. . Cotton production in North Caro lina for the current season is esti- ' mated by the crop reporting board ] at 420,000 bales of 500 pounds, and in the United States at 8,482,000 9, as compared with slightly over llion bales in 1945 and approxi- Jf ly 12*4 million during the 10 „r (1935-1944) average.
