After over a week of conflicting price influences, the Bradford market finally decided to settle lower, they said. Both 70s and 66s Super experienced the full fourteen pence fall while 64s Super and Blended dropped eight and six pence respectively. "But the blends involving wool from non-Australian sources haven't fallen as much," one source said. "The way crossbreds have held and even improved their values reflect the dearer UK wool market and New Zealand prices for coarser crossbreds," he added. English wool tops were quoted up three to four pence to trade at between 261 to 275 pence per kg. But several sources grew increasingly pessmistic about the chance of even a modest recovery in local prices. The big discounts offered on finest Supers failed to attract fresh trade although some buying interest was noted. "A decline to new lows looks increasingly probable and at the very least, a significantly firmer trend is unlikely for some weeks," one market specialist said. 051014 MET feb 97
