Abstract
Excerpts: The price at which rayon is now selling and will sell in the future is of tremendous significance in the intense competition between this fiber and cotton. In order to provide basic information for the cotton industry on this subject, a study of rayon prices was made at the Southern Regional Research Laboratory in 1946 and early 1947 as part of the cooperative "Study of Agricultural and Economic Problems of the Cotton Belt," sponsored by the Special Subcommittee on Cotton of the House of Representatives. The present study has been prepared to provide those interested in cotton with up-to-date data on rayon prices. It also provides limited data on prices of other synthetic fibers.
