Prices for 50s-58s held firm, with 56s English up one pence. With demand from high street retailers remaining steady at low levels and new business scarce, sellers have been accepting early offers rather than risk losing the business by holding out for more, they said. The majority of buyers are still seeking small volumes and there was little interest in forward contracts, they added. "The mood locally is not gloomy," one market source said. Most firms were optimistic that replacement business would continue to filter through, enabling tops production to remain steady. 181116 MET sep 96
