With the Australian Eastern market indicator falling 15 cents after a large offering and prices for broader microns dropping in New Zealand, there was little to encourage enquiry, they said. One market source described the prevailing mood as "wait-and-see". Others said the low level of stocks in the pipeline could produce a rapid increase in local prices on any sign of an upturn in the primary wool markets. Wednesday's greasy wool auction in the UK saw prices stabilise in steady demand. Fundamental demand for tops remains solid, with most mill sources reporting a constant level of repeat orders. 301050 MET sep 96
