The re-entry of China into the market offset the dampening effect on prices of the large Australian offering of greasy wool overnight and helped to draw buyers into the UK market, trade sources said. Buying interest was also boosted by the latest retail sales figures, they said. Sales of household goods were up seven percent in the June-August quarter compared to the same period in 1995. Tops prices were generally firm at what one source described as "cut-throat" levels. The increase in consumer spending and a steady improvement in the housing market in recent months has so far benefitted importers more than domestic wool processors. But some market sources said this is set to change as stocks of tops, yarns and fabrics are running at relatively low levels. Although the market is expected to be tested by another large Australian sale next week, most local sources believe the depressive effect may have bottomed out. 201058 MET sep 96
