Finding new orders at prices reflecting recent strength in wool was, however, not so easy. Currency remained helpful, with the Australian dollar often just softer against the US$ and sterling. But South American topmakers are determined to push up quotations. A strong pound helps dampen imported prices but is a barrier for UK exporters. 031152 MET jun 97
