Merino fleece was dearer, with 19/20 microns up two percent, 21m up 1.5 percent, 22/23m up one percent and 24/25/26 up 0.5 percent. Merino skirtings of 19m were generally unchanged with 20/21/22m slightly dearer. Crossbreds were cheaper on a limited offering, with 27m slightly cheaper, 28m 0.5 percent cheaper, 29/31 up to one percent cheaper and 30m three percent cheaper. In cardings, locks and crutchings were one percent cheaper. WI said Japanese interests were principal buyers with good support from most sectors of the trade. Of the 10,680 bales offered, 3.6 percent were passed in. Sales continue on Thursday in Sydney and Fremantle with about 28,000 bales to be offered. _________________________________________________________________ Bradford - cijene vune - 02. lipnja 1997. cijene u penijima/kg _________________________________________________________________ MERINO CROSSBRED 70s SUPER 550 58s SUPER 384 66s SUPER 502 58s BLENDED 366 64s SUPER 426 56s SUPER 351 64s BLENDED 421 54s CARDED 332 60s SUPER 394 50s CARDED 323 60s BLENDED 382 58s ENGLISH 266 56s ENGLISH 254 50s ENGLISH 251 Bradford wool sees efforts to push up quotations BRADFORD, June 2 (Reuter) - Work was back to normal in local mills after shutdowns last week and capacity machinery activity on the worsted side was among encouraging features of the market. Finding new orders at prices reflecting recent strength in wool was, however, not so easy. Currency remained helpful, with the Australian dollar often just softer against the US$ and sterling. But South American topmakers are determined to push up quotations. A strong pound helps dampen imported prices but is a barrier for UK exporters. 051101 MET jun 97
