Textile trading floor
A cotton exchange is a marketplace where cotton is bought and sold, typically as a commodities exchange dealing in futures contracts rather than physical bales.
The New York Cotton Exchange, founded in 1870, was the most prominent in the United States.
These institutions set standard grades and trading rules that shaped the global cotton trade.
