Machinery activity in Europe, meanwhile, is good with combing booked well ahead and quite often into the New Year. Deliveries are also going out well, but the trade would be a lot happier if new orders were coming through and there will be more interest than usual in how things go at the main fairs in the next few weeks, particularly in how well wool does, with firmer prices, relative to other fibres. Friday's sharp currency and stock market movements in the UK confused cost calculations, but not enough to cause adjustments until wool values are tested again this week. Last week's surge in the main Australian market indicator was mainly due to superfine merinos with Italy the main buyer. The subsequent softening in Sydney futures prices after the first superfine-led surge pushed them up is now seen as more representative of the wool market trend. 301118 MET sep 97
