But speculative selling knocked prices off the highs by the close. While the USDA reported healthy exports of 153,100 480-lb bales for the week ended Sept 12, news of soaring imports squelched player enthusiasm later in the session. U.S. Census Bureau reported weekly imports of 61,358 bales and cumulative imports of 286,957 bales. The USDA estimated imports at 500,000 bales in 1996/97. Several dealers were not immediately aware of the numbers as they are not widely publicized. December closed up 0.83 at 75.28 cents a lb, having ranged from 76.20 to 74.80. Spot-October ended 0.80 firmer at 74.25, while the back months finished 0.90 to 0.55 firmer. Volume was estimated at only 7,750 lots. Weekend rain forecast for West Texas and the Delta, and talk that the bulk of cotton harvested may not be tenderable, lent early support to the market. "But that is not extremely atypical for this time of year," said Sharon Johnson, an analyst with Frank Schneider and Co Inc. "The question is whether that is indicative of the crop as a whole. That remains to be seen." 201057 MET sep 96
