Floor sources said there was heavy speculative and options-related selling along with some profit taking. "It was buy the rumor and sell the fact -- all our support was based on damage that's not really going to happen," a floor source said. "I expect that we are still going to be in somewhat of an uptrend. The technicals are looking strong." December cotton closed down 1.63 cents at 75.62 cents a lb. National Hurricane Center said Hurricane Fran was heading toward the Carolinas, due to arrive Thursday. A dealer said only three percent of the U.S. cotton crop was grown in South and North Carolina, noting that USDA said earlier this week only 20 percent of the Carolinas' cotton crop had opened and was thus vulnerable to moisture. But some trader sources said more than four inches of rain would cause damage to crops, and Fran was expected to dump at least four to six inches of water on land. 051108 MET sep 96
