M22P -- CONSUMPTION ON THE COTTON SYSTEM AND STOCKS SUMMARY 1995 M22P(95)-13 Issued February 29, 1996 For information or questions, please contact: Karen Harshbarger, (301)-457-4674 The statistics shown in this publication are based on information collected by mail on Bureau of the Census monthly forms M22N, Cotton and Linters in Public Storage; and M22P, Cotton, Manmade Fiber Staple, and Raw Linters. The data have been compiled from a cut-off sample of approximately 350 warehouses and 420 consumers, accounting for 95 percent of total commercial stocks and consumption. Approximately 20 small consumers report annual data only. Monthly data for these small establishments are estimated based on data reported annually and the trend of those reporting monthly. Statistics for previous months may be revised as the result of corrected data from respondents, including the receipt of late reports for which imputations were made. Figures which have been revised by more than 5 percent from previously published figures are indicated by footnotes.
