Cotton prices surged on the market while no respite was seen in buying support extended by spinnners, relevant sources said, adding quality cotton is fast eroding.
The official spot rate of cotton was pushed higher by Rs 25 the first this week as the sellers not only kept in view the bullish trend in NYCE trading, but also the spinners buying every quality lot offered to them without bothering much about price, sources said.
