QUALITY OF COTTON IN THE 1960 CARRY-OVER

Upland cotton in the United States carry-over on August 1, 1960 contained large proportions of Middling and higher grades of cotton, according to the Department of Agriculture. Strict Middling and higher grades accounted for the highest proportion of total stocks since 1948, and Middling was proportionately the largest since 1955. In terms of "grade index", cotton in the 1960 carry-over was well above the total upland supply for the 1959-60 season. This is the second sucoessive year in which the grade index for end-season stocks exceeded that of the season's supply. Stocks of the lower grades of cotton on August 1, 1960 were down 48 percent from a year earlier, compared with a decrease of 15 percent in the total carry-over. Two-thirds of the August 1, 1960 carry-over was in the lengths, 1-1/32" through 1-3/3211, the largest proportion of these lengths in end-season stocks since 1949. Cotton stapling 1-1/16" accounted for 38 percent of the upland cotton in end-season stocks. The average staple length of the 1960 carry-over was the longest since 1951. Stocks of American-Egyptian cotton averaged somewhat lower in grade and shorter in staple than a year earlier. The total carry-over of all kinds of cotton in the United States on August 1, 1960 was 7,559,000 bales against 8,881,000 bales on August 1, 1959.

Estimates of the grade and staple distribution of the cotton in the 1960 carry-over as presented in this report are preliminary and are based on resampling and classification of a representative proportion of the cotton stored in mills and In public storage, Including CCC stocks. For infor-mational purposes, Tables 6 and 7 of this report contain quality data for CCC stocks as of July 31, 1960 based on stock records or the classification of this cotton as it originally entered the government price support programs.

Grade distribution. The carry-over of upland cotton on August 1, 1960 contained (i) the largest proportion of Strict Middling and higher grades of any carry-over in twelve years, (2) the largest proportion of Middling (Middling Plus and Middling combined) in five years, (3) a somewhat smaller proportion of Strict Low Middling and lower White grades than a year earlier, (4) about 43 percent less Light Spotted cotton than a year ago, and (5) less than a third as much Spotted and other Colored cotton as a year earlier.

Staple distribution. The carry-over of upland cotton on August 1, 1960 contained (1) the smallest proportion of the lengths, 29/32" and shorter, for any carry-over on record, (2) the smallest pro-portion of the lengths, 15/16' through 1", in end-season stocks since 1956, (3) the largest proportion of the lengths, 1-1/32" through 1-3/3211 , in eleven years, with these lengths accounting for two-thirds of the total carry-over, and (4) the largest proportion of the longer lengths, 1_1/8I and longer, since the 1956 carry-over.

Grade Index, Average Staple

The grade index of carry-over cotton rose for the second successive year and was 97.9 (Middling White equals 100) for the upland cotton in the 1960 carry-over. A year earlier, the grade index was 95.0 and two years ago it was 91.1. The average staple of upland cotton in the 1960 carry-over was 33,0 thirty-seconds inches. This was the longest average staple of any carry-over since 1951 and compares with the average of 31.9 for the 1959 carry-over and 31.7 two years ago.

Untenderable Cotton

Cotton uritenderable In settlement of futures In the 1960 carry-over totaled about 1,081,000 bales, equivalent to 15 percent of the total. This figure is based on cotton uritenderable with respect to grade and staple only, and does not reflect the uantlty of cotton reduced for cause nor cotton below minimum micronaire requirements.

Total over

The United States carry-over of all kinds of cotton totaled 7,559,000 bales on August 1, 1960, according to the Bureau of the Census. This compares with 8,881,000 bales a year earlier and 8,737,000 two years ago. Stocks of upland cotton in the 1950 carry-over totaled 7,392,000 bales, American-Egyptian stocks were about 133,000 bales, and foreign growths totaled about 34,000 bales.
