Only a token attendance was made, they added. The potential for the New Year to take a turn for the better, was thought to be slight following disappointing pre-Christmas sales and a stock build-up for January sales. Economic uncertainties in Asia continued to hang over the major wool primary markets. 081153 MET jan 98
