Several mills reported that buyer resistance to any increase in prices continued to keep a stranglehold on profit margins. Despite signs of an improvement in demand from Japan and interest from China remaining fairly constant, there were few reports of new business. One market source said impending seasonal increases in the size of raw wool offerings was likely to reinforce "highly cautious buying". 011055 MET oct 96
