Merino fleece weakened, with 19/20 microns two percent cheaper, 21m 1.5 percent cheaper, 22/24/25/26m one percent cheaper and 23m 2.5 percent cheaper. In merino skirtings, 19m were slightly cheaper and 20/21/22m generally unchanged. In crossbreds, 27/31m were slightly cheaper and 28/29/30m 0.5 percent cheaper.

Prices were generally lower due to the origin trend and to sterling's continued strength, traders said. However, machinery activity was well maintained with combers in particular busy and having some problems meeting demand, and early deliveries were difficult to arrange. Carpet and woollen sectors were much slower, traders said. 091130 MET may 97
