Merino fleece was mostly cheaper, with 19/20/21/25/16 microns 0.5 percent cheaper, 22m unchanged and 23/24m slightly cheaper, while merino skirtings were generally unchanged. In crossbreds, 27/29m were slightly dearer, 28m 0.5 percent cheaper, 30m one percent dearer and 31m one percent cheaper. In cardings, lambs were up to 1.5 percent cheaper, locks up to two percent cheaper, and crutchings up to four percent cheaper. WI said Japanese interests were principal operators with good support from Western Europe and most sectors of the trade. Of the 20,510 bales offered, 17.4 percent were passed in. Sales continue on Thursday in Sydney and Geelong with about 19,600 bales to be offered. _________________________________________________________________ Bradford - cijene vune - 08. siječnja 1998. cijene u penijima/kg _________________________________________________________________ MERINO CROSSBRED 70s SUPER 463 58s SUPER 346 66s SUPER 427 58s BLENDED 331 64s SUPER 380 56s SUPER 333 64s BLENDED 376 54s CARDED 316 60s SUPER 365 50s CARDED 290 60s BLENDED 357 58s ENGLISH 250 56s ENGLISH 241 50s ENGLISH 237 Bradford wool lower following overseas markets LONDON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Values at Thursday's Bradford wool sale fell as much as 16 pence per kilo in line with recent falls at Australian wool sales, traders said. Scottish wool sold at erratic levels at auction this week in Bradford, but the general assessment for topmakers was that there was little change in their costs. Actual business was very quiet, with any new orders available only on a hand-to-mouth basis and at increasingly competitive prices. The call for deliveries was reasonable, though not as good as it had been a couple of months ago. The Asian currency situation was unhelpful, and was undermining confidence on the demand side of the world wool equation. 151046 MET jan 98
