The Merino wools of all kinds offered largely inside +/-10ac of their established foundation from the earlier week. Some odd good spinners/greatest prime making descriptions on the best finish did add a number of cents, however these tons have been restricted in provide. Crossbred wool and cardings have been traded at an analogous +/- 10ac actions, making it a moderately mundane week so far as AUD pricing goes.
