There has been some home trade business at highly competitive prices but although the industry in general is keeping busy there are some anxieties about the future. Traders said that it would only take a modest retail downturn to prompt local resistance to price increases which may occur if overseas wool markets rise or import costs increase as a result of currency developments. The market has been helped by recent strength in Australian merino prices but increasing supplies may check any market strength in the near future. 101114 MET sep 97
