July and August are affected and for the industry there is inevitable distortion not just in the chance to obtain new orders, but in planning activity and deliveries to fit in with holidays whether by the individual firm or its customers and suppliers. Prices change mainly when currency changes. Strength in sterling involved some reductions recently, but Thursday's quarter-point rise in interest rates is being followed by greater calmness. Wool International's pricing of its stockpile influences the trade and with no change in Australian currency terms the raw material end remains static. Wool prices ended the season firm but with no obvious short-term tendency. The industry in the UK is very concerned about the effect of sterling strength on exports, but for the time being deliveries have been going out well and most firms remain busy and well-booked. 111047 MET jul 97
