WOOL.

BOSTON. June 1G.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool trade:
The largest purchases of Australian wool
by a leading house. coupled with the in
crcasing demand during the past week
from consumers. have impaired a degree
of trmnes to the Boston market which il
has not possessed in a long time. The tone
of the market. especially on Australian
woods. Is strong and in some cases a cent
per pound more has been paid than could
nave been obtained two or three weeks
ago Advices from abroad indicate
strengthening markets. \ considerable
portion of the sales during the week We're
taken for speculative account. but sales
actually made for consumption constitute
a large weeks business. There is also
more doing in domestic medium woods.
and prices are slightly tirmer. but as yet
this has not amounted TO very much.
Sales i'm Boston for the week aggr5 gate
9952 coo pounds. OF which 2.0l6.0O0 pounds
were domestic and 100000 pounds foreign.

CHICAGO. June 16.-Corn was the big
market on Change to-day, heavy buying,
in which outsiders were permanent caus-
ing an advance. Wheat was affected
by the favorable weather and crop reports,
closing at d 1b0lAc decline. Wheat tOl-
lowed corn 1c higher Provisions were
weak throughout and declined about lOc
all around.
Wheat commenced the days business by
drop Of sc in the price of July and fol-
lowed il up by climbing hence hand over
hand. II then gave q half-cent dive. Inc
opening prices of July were 69is sake, COM
pared with yesterdays close of 69Ac from
the advance 10 69l2c. then down TO 6Sc, and
Tor a while ii revolV5d around 63lsc. The
unexpected frmress abroad after the
weakness here yesterday gave the market
some strength, and it also got some help
from the light northwestern receipts of
Is, cars against $40 the same day last
year. The home crop conditions and the
dizziness in the speculative trade proved
strength The market derived from the bet
ter foreign cables. The weekly weather
ana crop bulletins were uniformly bearish
a TO wheat, showing the spring crop TO
be making good progress and the winter
crop nearly finished and in good shape
with harvesting completed in some areas
and a prospect that by next week new
grain will be coming in freely.
After lingering around 69lsc for time
the market took another whirl. July
