From a strictly wool market point of view, little fresh incentives are to be found, they added. Some firms take the view that with wool sales tomorrow it is worth waiting another day, with slowness in reacting to the currency factor also related to limited buying interest in the trade. There is business occurring from week to week, but generally it is in small weights for relatively early covering. More than one firm expressed unhappiness about the way orderbooks are running down without corresponding replacement business. One hopeful feature was the good call for deliveries, which makes a revival in new business possible. While seasonally heavy offerings and limited Chinese interest in the Australian market are seen as likely to put prices there under pressure at forthcoming sales, there is satisfaction at the steadiness of the market so far this season. 231137 MET oct 97
