Traders say the industry is busy meeting the call for deliveries of old orders and the only problem is to persuade buyers to accept price rises pushed through from the raw wool end. Further rises in Australia at limited sales this week have led to new increases in top quotations throughout the merino range, with crossbreds sometimes though not always accompanying the rise. A strong pound sterling is a problem for exporters and import competition is also mentioned. Home market retailers may be realising that it is important to keep home suppliers going, even when there is a chance of a price advantage on the import side. 061109 MET jun 97
