However, some firms were still saying that business was quiet and difficult, they added. Talk of better demand prospects from China, and the view that after a long decline, an upturn at this stage of the season was overdue, lent some brokers to feel slightly more bullish than of late. Topmakers' quotations were mostly unchanged, but some gains were posted. 64's super rose six pence per kilo to 376. 111149 MET feb 98
