Last week the Australian market influenced a sharply lower move in some prices. In the UK and Europe, particularly Italy, combing activity continued at full capacity with exisiting orders, but there was some uncertainty as to when new business orders will come to the market. Brokers said that there is concern that clothing's share of UK consumer spending may start to shrink as the economy cools under the impact of high interest and exchantge rates. But pipeline refilling in Europe should help underpin business this season and this could underpin prices amid some sharp fluctuations from time to time. 071044 MET oct 97
