Boston. Dec. 24.-The panicky incidents
of the last week in this section have not
had any effect on the wool market. De-

The American Wool and Cotton Re
porter will say December &c of the wool
trade:
THE sales in three principal markets of
the country for the week ending December
"A have amounted to 1924 400, of which g..
S09,5C0 were domestic and 3,114 900 pounds
foreign wool. The year is going out as
usual with a quiet market. There is of
course no continuous free business, al
though some days there are sales of mod
crate size. All woods are moving in a
small way and prices are fairly strong,
no disposition to concede anything being
apparent. The cOncensus of opinion is
that things after all indicate that a fair
amount Of business will be under way
early in the new year"
The cheering advices can be given to
the farmers and merchants of the great
Wheat-producing sections that the all
important cereal is again on the move to-
ward higher prices. The market at Ia
