Merino fleece of 19/20 microns was slightly dearer, 21/26m 1.5 percent cheaper, 22m one percent cheaper, 23/25m 2.5 percent cheaper and 24m three percent cheaper while merino skirtings were generally slightly cheaper. In crossbreds, 27m was slightly cheaper, 28/29m 0.5 percent dearer and 30/31m slightly dearer. In cardings, lambs were one percent cheaper, locks were up to two percent cheaper, with 20m and coarser light carbonising locks up to seven percent cheaper, and crutchings were up to five percent cheaper. WI said Japanese interests were principal operators with support from Western Europe and most sectors of the trade. Of the 29,684 bales offered, 24.9 percent were passed in. Sales continue next week in Goulburn, Melbourne and Fremantle with about 84,300 bales to be offered. _________________________________________________________________ Bradford - cijene vune - 29. siječnja 1998. cijene u penijima/kg _________________________________________________________________ MERINO CROSSBRED 70s SUPER 445 58s SUPER 337 66s SUPER 419 58s BLENDED 323 64s SUPER 370 56s SUPER 323 64s BLENDED 366 54s CARDED 310 60s SUPER 350 50s CARDED 272 60s BLENDED 345 58s ENGLISH 245 56s ENGLISH 239 50s ENGLISH 235 Bradford wool market finds trade a touch better LONDON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - A slight improvement in business was noted at Thursday sale, with even the export side of the market showing some sign of encouragement, traders said. However, there was no doubt that anyone able to sell, has had to take low and competitive prices, they added. With order books getting shorter and machinery to keep running, this was seen as one of the unavoidable aspects of a falling wool market. Topmakers quotations were unchanged to nine pence per kilo lower than Tuesday's sale. 301126 MET jan 98
