There was some softening in local quotations on Friday, all currency-related, and the gap between selling prices in other European countries which have hitherto suffered from the pressure to remain within the Exchange Rate Mechanism, is beginning to narrow, they said. "The market is waiting for guidance from the raw wool auctions before adjusting its prices," one source said. 121118 MET dec 96
