Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This report shows, for the 1961-62 season, the major destinations to which cotton was shipped from the various producing States, the relative importance of rail and truck shipments, and the shifts during the last 30 years in the type of carrier being used to transport raw cotton from warehouses. Of the more than 14 million bales of raw cotton shipped from U.S. warehouses in 1961-62, 73 percent were hauled by railroad and 27 percent by motortruck. Trucks were used mainly for the short hauls within the Southeastern Region, for shipments from the South Central Region to the southeastern mill area, for shipments to the port of New Orleans from other points in the South Central Region, and for shipments in California and Texas from producing areas to ports. U.S. cotton is exported to practically all countries of the world with cotton-textile industries. In 1961-62, the principal importers were Japan, Canada, Italy, France, and the Republic of Korea, in the order named.
