Mid Micron Fleece was firm to 2 percent easier except the 29.5 to 30.5 micron bracket which came back 6 to 9 percent. Fine Crossbred Fleece and Shears 32 to 35 micron was firm to 2 percent cheaper.
Coarse Crossbred Fleece and Shears 36 micron and coarser were generally 1.5 percent easier except the poor styles in the North Island which eased by up to 5 percent.
Coarse Long Oddments saw lifts of up to 5 percent in the South and a firm to 2 percent drop in the North. Clothing oddments weakened 3 to 6 percent with the North Island affected the most.
Wide spread competition with China, Australasia and Europe principals supported by United Kingdom, Middle East and India sparingly.
