Patchy new business was indicated in the home trade, but everyone in the market was increasingly aware of the approach of the Christmas holiday period, traders said. Competition at the final British wool sale before Christmas is expected to be better than at the last sale, largely because payment is not necessary before January, they added. 101013 MET dec 97
