Last year I purchased in on Ebay from a US seller. It was silver wire costing around US$ 40. You can try eBay.

if you have the patience and are also into DIY, strip out the wires from a mouse cable (especially HP) and use them, they would serve you well

Old headphone wires too are quite good. I still use it on my DIY tonearm. Use the most flexible wire.

What are the connectors to be used here for connecting the wire from tonearm to cartridge?

Open up the female serial port socket of old dial-up modems and use the connector barrels inside the socket. Let me see if I can post a pic. the same is also found in old serial mouse..

I have used both headphone wire and mouse internal wires as per suggestion from Lifewater.
They work superb!
Using headphone wire is the easiest DIY out of the two, you do not even have to strip it, it is ready for use.
