According to NYMEX - CME Group, the current price of cotton per pound is currently 82.89 cents. This pricing is from the 25th of January 2013 and onwards.
By dividing the annual per share dividend by the closing price per share, the figure found is the P/E ratio. P/E ratio stands for price to earnings ratio, and the figure shows how much per share investors earn.
the price earnings ratio is simply earnings-per-share divided by the share price. OOPS! I got that upside down! It is the share price divided by the earnings per share. The earnings figure might be for the trailing twelve months (ttm) or earnings estimated for the next four quarters.
This figure will vary from year to year, of course, but in 2011, the average price was $8.10 per hundredweight (cwt) on average yield of 404 cwt per acre, bringing about $3,270 dollars per acre before expenses to the farmer.

what is the cost,appearance,durability,suitability of cotton
According to NYMEX - CME Group, the current price of cotton per pound (25 January 2013) is 82.89 cents. That being the case, a 500 pound bale would be worth $414.45 usd.
The outbreak of war in Europe in 1914 prevented southern cotton growers from exporting their crop to European cotton mills. The "buy a bale of cotton" movement aimed to help growers by providing demand for their cotton. The campaign targeted people of comfortable means and urged them to buy a bale. With cotton selling at ten cents per pound, a 500-lb bale cost $50. The argument was that the cotton could then be warehoused until the next season, when the price of cotton would certainly have risen, and the buyer could sell his purchase for a ten to twenty percent profit. President Woodrow Wilson set an example by buying several bales in September 1914.
The number of bales that are produced per acre varies a lot by area, soil conditions, type of cotton, and weather conditions. For instance, in Lubbock, Texas in 2012, cotton production varied from 1/2 bale per acre to 4 bales per acre. The higher yields came from fields that were irrigated.
After ginning, the raw fiber, now called lint, makes its way through another series of pipes to a press where it is compressed into bales (lint packaged for market), banded with eight steel straps, sampled for classing, wrapped for protection then loaded onto trucks for shipment to storage yards, textile mills and foreign countries. The cotton industry has adopted a standard for a bale of cotton, 55 inches tall, 28 inches wide, and 21 inches thick, weighing approximately 500 pounds. A bale meeting these requirements is called a universal density bale. This is enough cotton to make 325 pairs of denim jeans.Every bale of cotton is classed from a sample taken after its formation. The classing of cotton lint is the process of measuring fiber characteristics against a set of standards (grades). Classing is done by experts, called classers, who use scientific instruments to judge the samples of lint. All standards are established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Once the quality of the cotton bale is determined, pricing parameters are set and the lint may be taken to market. Cotton marketing is the selling and buying of cotton lint. Cotton is priced in cents per pound when sold and the price is negotiated according to the cotton's quality. After baling, the cotton lint is hauled to either storage yards, textile mills, or shipped to foreign countries. The cotton seed is delivered to a seed storage area. Where it will remain until it is loaded into trucks and transported to a cottonseed oil mill or directly for livestock feed.
About $13.00 per bale or $230 per ton as of February 1, 2014.

Please be more specific. What do you mean by this question, are you referring to how long a bale of hay will last when fed to livestock? How many livestock are you asking about? What type or class? What size is the bale, what type, what weight? What does it comprise of (i.e., grass only, legume only, or legume-grass)? All of these questions need to be answered before this question can actually be answered.
Zlatan Ibrahimović is better than Gareth Bale as per my say since he has scored more goals for both the club and country than Bale.

Commonly $4 per yard to $12 per yard. Some higher quality cotton fabrics will cost more than that.
