In ready business, around 1000 bales of cotton changed hands between Rs 6050 and Rs 6100, dealers said.
As per cotton analyst, Naseem Usman, prices were firm in line with international track in the local market. Trading activity may pick up in coming days, but it is most likely that rates may not move up sharply as a result of expected rise in phutti supply with the passage of time.
