On a average selection of mainly poorer types with low yields and a very limited selection of better, high yielding types , the market closed dearer for all types in 22.0microns and finer.
Chinese types were 20-30ac dearer.

Fine Merino skirtings with less than 4% vm keenly sought today in a very small selection and selected lots 10/15ac dearer. All other microns and types generally unchanged except higher vm and poorer types slightly cheaper.

Prems and lambs types in the 44-50HM range experienced stronger competition today and closed fully firm for all microns.
