London Wool Market Strength in Spot Lines Report
The first London wool sales of 1940 closed last month with an extra week added for higher offerings by the Joint Organisation. Total offerings reached 132,100 bales, and most of the lot cleared under one measure as demand for spot wool remained keen despite light UK factory activity. Bradford buyers led by Continental competition pushed greasy Merinos higher, with several clips from New South Wales and Western Australia fetching strong prices. Prices overall held steady with some declines but remained above opening rates. crossbreds showed firmer tones in the face of sustained continental demand. The market stayed buoyant as buyers and sellers navigated high export targets and domestic demand amid derationing of woven cloth.
