Marginal Drop in Cotton SurplusWASHINGTON - Nov 9/07 - SNS -- This month's world cotton supply and demand forecasts show lower production and consumption, higher trade, and marginally lower ending stocks compared with last month, according to the latest forecast from the USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board.

Consumption is reduced in India as the strengthening currency is slowing textile exports.
