NEW DELHI, Sept 28 (Commoditiescontrol): Cotton prices declined in the mandis of lower Rajasthan for the third consecutive day on Wednesday amid lower demand from mills, while daily arrivals were reported higher.
The weather has cleared up in the cotton growing areas of the state. According to traders, the arrival of new cotton is declining in Mewar line, but increasing in other lines. The prices of cotton weakened further today in the domestic market as the spinning mills of the state are procuring only in limited quantities, failing to get parity at current cotton prices. The production of cotton in the state is estimated to be high, so the ginners are also buying cotton only as per the requirement. As the weather has cleared up in the cotton producing areas of the state, the daily arrival of new cotton will increase in the coming days, and there will be pressure of arrivals in the next month. The local and export demand in yarn is weak due to which spinning mills are facing disparity at current prices. Therefore, cotton prices are expected to fall further.
