"They don't have a long time to build up a significant long," said Louis Rose, independent cotton trader and consultant with Risk Analytics in Memphis, Tennessee.

Cotton futures surged on Monday to their highest single-session gains in two weeks, lifted by a weaker dollar and end-user buying at low price levels and bucking a rout across most commodities. Still, prices remained within the same tight range they have been trading in for months. "They're not chasing it higher," said Chris Kramedjian, a risk management consultant with INTL FCStone in Nashville, Tennessee, noting that physical buying evaporated at the upper end of the day's range.

Cotton futures fell on Friday on pressure from sharp gains in the US dollar, a lack of clarity over China's potential plans to reduce its massive cotton stockpile, and data showing a drop in US export sales. "What's pressuring it is the dollar and the uncertainty," said Peter Egli, director of risk management at British merchant Plexus cotton. March cotton on ICE Futures US settled down 0.23 cent, or 0.37 percent, at 61.13 cents per lb. It traded within a range of 60.76 and 61.89. US export
