Prices failed to maintain rising trend on the local cotton market on Saturday due to falling interest among buyers, according to dealers. According to some brokers, trade activity came down ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr holiday.

In ready business, around 400 bales of cotton changed hands at Rs 6150.
According to cotton analyst, Naseem Usman, both leading buyers and sellers were on the sidelines due to transportation problem.
