On a reasonable selection of best/good superfine, fine and medium types, the fleece market opened after the three week break generally unchanged for most descriptions. Best strength fine types were very firm and dominated by NEW and AME. Poorer types (tender, low style) in 18.5u and finer were slightly cheaper, but all types 19.0u and broader were fully firm. Skirtings were generally unchanged.
