Merino skirtings of 19/20 microns were 1.5 percent cheaper, with others generally slightly cheaper. In cardings, merino lambs were generally unchanged and crossbred lambs four percent cheaper, while crutchings and washing and carbonising locks were six percent cheaper. WI said Japanese interests and Western Europe were principal operators. Of the 12,062 bales offered, 18.9 percent were passed in.

Apart from calculations related to wool costs and currency moves, business remains quiet, with buyers still seemingly prepared to wait for signs of strength before placing any orders, they added. The impression given from the way deliveries are going out, and from talk locally, was that orders waiting to be placed are far from plentiful, and prices discussed are extremely competitive. Helping to keep prices down was uncertainty about how Asian economic problems will work out. As things are, some of the orders not taken up by firms in the area affected by the crisis are said to be undermining the already low price levels in wool-related markets around the world. This was because they are being offered at cut rates by those left holding stocks, brokers said. 231144 MET jan 98
