Sales continue next week in Sydney, Adelaide and Fremantle with about 97,775 bales to be offered. _________________________________________________________________ Bradford - cijene vune - 29. rujna 1997. cijene u penijima/kg _________________________________________________________________ Bradford wool market sees little buying interest LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuter) - Business was generally quiet on the Bradford wool market with little buying interest shown by home trade or overseas customers. Brokers said it was still difficult to be sure about the overall wool market trend, with finer merinos clearly in an upward direction but other merinos following a good deal more slowly, and broader crossbreds no more than steady. Combing was busy and other market sectors were holding up well but in machine knitting there was some anxiety about maintaining full activity. Strength of sterling remained a problem despite appearing to be over its peak against European currencies. London Newsroom, +44 171 542 7771 031122 MET oct 97
