No major purchases from merchants were reported lately
Our traditional markets (Turkey – Egypt) are very slow
Although ginners see that they have to sell a percentage of their currents stocks they are very reluctant to large volumes sales and to the prices they are receiving demand

70% of the unfixed basis contracts rolled from Mar 07 to May 07 or July 07
Still no new basis contracts were reported.

Small lots of 200-300 tons are being currently shipped to Egypt.

We are expecting to see another 20-30,000 tons to be forwarded to Egyptian ports.

Some merchants are long of Greek cotton.
