Some firms were convinced of a rising price trend a while ago and others have joined in taking a bullish view. Even from the retail end where resistrance has been most determined, there is evidence that higher prices being paid in Australia are having some effect. There is little time to go before this season ends and after a break the weight of next season's wool builds up, but there is decreasing scope for a major setback in the market. The stockpile is being sold steadily and quarterly quotas are being met ahead of schedule, underlining a prospect of eventual shortages. Prices in sterling terms have only risen patchily this week with currency working to offset the wool price rise in Australian terms. Varied increases seem to indicate that some firms started from a well-bought position whereas others were slower to adapt to rising raw material prices. Deliveries go out well. 131131 MET jun 97
