Floor sources expect the U.S. Department of Agriculture to cut its estimate for domestic use and raise exports slightly. Other analysts said the U.S. is poised to meet the current export estimate of 6.8 million bales and is not likely to exceed that target, however. The USDA will issue its monthly report at 0830 EDT. Ryan Powell, cotton analyst with Allendale, noted that new-crop December failed to pierce Wednesday's high of 76.15 cents, which set the contract up for losses. But high prices for soybeans and wet weather in South Texas and the Delta could provide support for new crop futures, he added. May also falied to climb over the high of 72.25 cents made during the previous session. "The old crop is going to have trouble rallying much unless there is some new demand," Powell said. The May contract ended down 0.74 cent at 71.36 cents per lb, having ranged from 73.90 to 73.00. The back months settled 0.84 to 0.03 lower. Volume was estimated at 13,500 lots compared with Wednesday's official 16,325 lots. Traders said a weak sales report from the USDA prompted early selling. The USDA reported today new sales at only 150,600 480-lb bales, for the week ended April 3. Shipments were put at 270,000 bales. Open interest stood at 30,801 lots as of Tuesday's close. The first notice day for May cotton is April 24. May options expire on Friday. 111014 MET apr 97
