After lightly better business in the preceding week, demand by the spinning mills clearly weakened again in the week under report.
Sales figures were limited to small quantities and preferential for the near date. The stabilization of quotations at the end of the week under report indicated no tendency and also no buying incentive.
Trade in the Upland range was registered as follows: Central Asian sorts for dates in the 2nd and in the 4th quarter 2009, West African types for the same period of time, and Greek descriptions for the 2nd quarter 2009.
