New Zealand Wool Services International Limited’s Marketing Executive, Mr Paul Steel reports that the South Island offering of 14,157 bales saw a 70 percent clearance.

Merino and Half-bred Fleece prices followed the Australian trends of the past two weeks with prices declining.

Fine Crossbred Fleece and Second Shears came off the highs of the last South Island sale and settled around levels of last week’s North Island offering.

Coarse Fleece and Second Shears generally firmed by up to 2.5 percent.

Combing Oddments were generally unchanged.

Competition was dominated by China with support from Western Europe, Australasia and India.

Next sale on the 5 October comprises approximately 10,000 bales from the North Island.
