2 Preface This report supersedes earlier reports on cotton shipments--- Traffic Pattern of American Raw Cotton Shipments, Season , MRR 705, ERS, USDA, April 1965, and Domestic Shipments of U.S. Cotton, Season, Statistical Bulletin 493, MED, ERS, USDA, March and is one in a continuing series that reports resuits of studies designed to obtain and maintain current cotton mar- keting statistics. These studies form an integral part of a much broader study of the entire cotton system, from production through milling. The authors wish to express their appreciation to members of the cotton warehousing industry for their continued support of this research. Special appreciation is due the many individuals who sacrificed valuable work time at the peak of their season to provide data for this study. About 82 percent of all warehouse operators receiving the mail questionnaires completed and promptly returned them. Additionally, the authors express sincere appreciation to Elaine Bounds, Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, for preparing the tables in the report.

3 Domestic Shipments of U.S. Cotton, Season Cotton merchants used motor trucks for hauling over 47 percent of the 9.71 million bales of cotton shipped during the season, rail transportation for the remaining 53 percent. Comparable figures from previous reports show that 27 percent of shipments were by motor vehicle in , about 36 percent by this mode in Rail shipments accounted for 73 percent of the total in and 64 percent in The amount of cotton transported in the South Central and Western regions has increased by 33 and 38 percent, respectively, since the season. The most significant change in transportation mode between and occurred in the South Central and Southwestern regions, where the share carried by motor trucks increased 15.2 and 16.6 percent, respectively. Intrastate shipments accounted for about 54 percent of total shipments in the Southeastern region, interstate shipments about 42 percent. The remaining 4 percent moved to port facilities, to Canada, or to interior concentration points. Intrastate shipments ranged from 33 percent of total shipments in Alabama to 87.4 percent in North Carolina. Truck shipments within the Southeastern region decreased slightly from 64.8 percent in to 63.2 percent in but were slightly over eight percent greater than in Truck shipments from the South Central region increased from 20.9 to 38.4 percent in and , respectively, to 53.6 percent in Total shipments from the South Central region to the Southeastern mill area increased to 77.2 percent, compared with 74.5 percent in and 70.2 percent in Rail shipments from the Southwestern region decreased from 86.3 percent in to 69.7 percent in Shipments by this mode in accounted for 77.5 percent of the total. Nearly one third of the 3.4 million bales originating in the Southwestern region was shipped to the Southeastern mill area; 47.0 percent went to Texas ports, 6.4 percent to Pacific Coast ports. None of the shipments originating in the Southwestern region in went to Pacific Coast ports, and only 0.7 percent of total shipments in went to these facilities. The remainder went to interior concentration points (6.7 percent), other U.S. ports and Canada. Shipments from the Western region to the Southeastern mill area increased from 38.4 percent in to 41.6 percent in but were below the level of 45.1 percent. Shipments to Pacific Coast ports also declined during the season. Slightly more than 45 percent of all shipments from the Western region moved to California ports in compared with 51 percent in Only 35.4 percent was shipped to these facilities in Shipments to Texas ports increased from 1.9 percent in to 2.8 percent in but were below the 6.3 percent shipped in Almost 26 percent of shipments (beltwide) went to ports, compared with about 29 percent in and Shipments to ports in ranged from 1.3 percent in the Southeastern region to 57.8 percent in the Southwestern region. These findings are based on a survey of Government-approved warehouses throughout the Cotton Belt. Data on origins, destinations, number of bales, and mode of transportation for the season were obtained by a survey of Government-approved warehouses throughout the Cotton Belt. The resulting tables and figures show: (1) the major destinations to which cotton was shipped from various producing states; (2) the relative importance of rail and truck shipments; and (3) the shifts that have occurred in type of carrier used to transport cotton from warehouses since and Total shipments may not coincide exactly with production data for a State or region, because a few approved warehouses did not respond and warehouses not approved under Government programs were not included. Also, some cotton moved directly from gins to mills and some cotton from previous crops entered distribution channels. Moreover, destinations reported were first destination and may not have been final destinations. Data are not available for determining the extent to which reshipment contributed to total shipments.
