The quality of superfine wool tested was the same as for the equivalent period last year, a drought year, he said. This implied that superfine woolgrowers had maintained production despite significant declines in superfine wool prices, he said. The quantity of wool tested for length and strength had risen to 79 percent of all combing wool, up from 72.8 percent last year, he said. Vegetable matter content was averaging two percent, up from 1.6 percent, reflecting better seasonal conditions, while mean fibre diameter had strengthened marginally to 22 microns, he said. While staple length was slightly shorter, staple strength was stronger nationally but marginally weaker in Queensland, South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA), he said. There were wide differences in the quantity of wool tested from different states compared with last year, with Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales up but Queensland, WA and SA down. _________________________________________________________________ Bradford - cijene vune - 11. studenoga 1996. cijene u penijima/kg _________________________________________________________________ MERINO CROSSBRED 70s SUPER 495 58s SUPER 366 66s SUPER 443 58s BLENDED 345 64s SUPER 396 56s SUPER 352 64s BLENDED 392 54s CARDED 336 60s SUPER 372 50s CARDED 325 60s BLENDED 358 58s ENGLISH 279 56s ENGLISH 269 50s ENGLISH 265 Bradford wool market sees prices largely unchanged BRADFORD, Nov 11 (Reuter) - Tops prices were unchanged on Monday with the exception of English 58s and 56s which fell one pence per kg, trade sources said. With little dramatic movement in sterling against the mark and resistance pegged at around 2.49, the market remained fairly calm. The marginal easing in values for English types was generally taken as a sign that the price rise for raw-state topmaking wools at the last UK auction would not be maintained at the next sale on 13th November. But some sources are growing nervous about the tame level of trade as the Christmas recess nears. "Although producers are reluctant to accept bid below costs, this kind of business is still being done," one source said. 121134 MET nov 96
