WI said Japan, China and Western Europe were principal operators with good support from most sectors of the trade. Of the 24,509 bales offered, 13.4 percent were passed in. In early Fremantle trading, merino fleece of 20m was one percent cheaper, 21m up to one percent dearer, 22m fully firm and 23/24/25m one percent dearer. Merino skirtings were yet to start selling and locks were slightly cheaper. The early pass-in rate was 19 percent, WI said. WI said sales will resume in the week beginning January 5 in Melbourne and Fremantle after the three week mid-season Christmas recess. The current scheduled offering is about 74,900 bales. _________________________________________________________________ Bradford - cijene vune - 29. prosinca 1997. cijene u penijima/kg _________________________________________________________________ MERINO CROSSBRED 70s SUPER 479 58s SUPER 352 66s SUPER 439 58s BLENDED 340 64s SUPER 389 56s SUPER 338 64s BLENDED 385 54s CARDED 316 60s SUPER 372 50s CARDED 290 60s BLENDED 366 58s ENGLISH 250 56s ENGLISH 241 50s ENGLISH 237 Bradford wool market subdued by holiday period LONDON, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Prices at Monday's Bradford wool auction were left unchanged as most mills and firms were closed for the Christmas/New Year holiday period, traders said. Only a token attendance was made, they added. The potential for the New Year to take a turn for the better, was thought to be slight following disappointing pre-Christmas sales and a stock build-up for January sales. Economic uncertainties in Asia continued to hang over the major wool primary markets. 311048 MET dec 97
