The cotton market kept prices steady on Tuesday with the fresh buying interest at lower level, where some needy spinners moved in to reload their stocks.

Floor brokers said that big spinners have already imported around 1.7 million bales, but small spinners with cash flow problem are largely dependent on domestic supplies.
The Karachi Cotton Association (KCA) spot rates were unchanged at previous level and trading on ready counter was fairly active.
