Orders still on the books are said to be going out well, although there was little sign of any follow on business, traders said. Home market conditions are relatively better with new trade coming through, but it is doing so only slowly and many in the trade are worried about the level of clothing sales recently. Sterling's impact is also felt through imports at much more competitive prices than applied a year ago. 051023 MET nov 97
