But further easing in fine wool prices at auction helped pull finer tops values down by two to five pence per kg while all others remained steady. There were few reports of new business although sources said players operating exclusively in the domestic market are having an easier time than exporters. "Few buyers feel this is an opportune time to order unless they absolutely must to keep machinery active," one said. Already hurt by sterling, local topmakers exporting to Europe are seeing industrial action by French lorry drivers hamper efforts to keep up the flow of deliveries to Southern Europe, trade sources said. 290959 MET nov 96
