But he noted moderate volume with an estimated 8,000 lots. "Cotton is trading in a channel, a little bit above and below 75.00 cents, basis December," said Carl Anderson, cotton marketing specialist with Texas A and M University, On the fundamental side, Anderson said a large portion of the cotton crop in northern China was suffering from drought which was viewed as supportive to the market. "But that is partially offset by better-than-average crop prospects in Pakistan and India," he said. In the United States, the 1997/98 crop was delayed at planting time from wet, cool weather in the southwest, the southeast and the Delta. Then recent hot, dry conditions in parts of the cotton belt stressed plants, he said. The plants are very much into setting of bolls. "What we are concerned about is getting the full amount of bolls from the bottom to the top of the plant, particularly in the southern regions of Texas," Anderson said. On the negative side, domestic demand was sluggish, he said. December firmed 0.07 cent at 75.12 cents a lb. 041113 MET aug 97
