Merino skirtings of 19m were unchanged, with 20/21/22m up to one percent dearer. In crossbreds, 27m were up to 1.5 percent dearer, 28/29m one percent dearer, 30m slightly dearer and 31m 0.5 percent cheaper. In cardings, lambs were unchanged, with locks slightly cheaper and crutchings firm. WI said Japanese interests including China were principal buyers with support from Western Europe and local mills.

But the view that the season would end in June with prices no more than steady has been abandoned and rising prices next season are seen as more likely. Currency changes for sterling against the Australian dollar tend to offset a little of the rise in the wool price, but even where quoted increases are small, a firmer attitude applies. 021113 MET jun 97
