"Heavy low-priced sales from two of the main Continental sources (of supply) have helped to prevent buying in the UK," one broker said. The recent strength of sterling has removed the opportunity to increase quotations in line with the cost of imported wool for blending while pushing up the price of UK exports, another added. The absence of major buyers from the market due to late holidays has also had a dampening effect on demand, brokers said. 301121 MET oct 96
