Cotton prices moved up in the spot market on slack arrivals. Moreover, demand for cottonseed from oil mills also supported the cotton price to move up. According to a miller, festival buying for cotton oil has pushed up the demand for cottonseed. Gujarat Sankar-6 cotton was up ₹200 to ₹33,200-700 per candy of 356 kg. About 10,000 bales of 170 kg each arrived in Gujarat and 30,000 bales in India. Cottonseed gained ₹10 to ₹490-500 per 20 kg. Kapas or raw cotton too moved up on the back of fresh enquiries from ginners. Kapas was traded up ₹10 to ₹850-900 per 20 kg and gin delivery kapas stood at ₹900-920.
