Cotton driven by strong buying interest from spinners mainly because of lower-than-expected cotton crop size, cotton prices gained to mark a seasonal high record on Monday
On the trading side as many ginners were still reluctant to clear their stocks even at rising cotton prices, the trading activity was slow.
Floor brokers said that with very little cotton in the fields, only stocks held by growers are finding their way into ginneries.
Besides, unsold cotton stocks held by ginners were also being offered for sale to spinners, they added.
Millers rushed to replenish their stocks from the outset, but generally failed to meet their wish list because many ginners were not ready to even sell their stocks at rising cotton prices.
