Boston Wool Market

BONTON, Dec. 1.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade:
The wool market has shown very little
activity during the past week, except in
fine woods. In Australian the movement
was heavy last Friday ard Saturday. The
purchasers have been principally mills.
the wool bei<tg bought to go out of the
market. Any changes in prices which may
have occurred have been of a spasmodic
character. There is q widespread feeling
that the depletion of the stocks of the Aus
tralian makes it certain that higher prices
for what is left can soon be obtained, for
the reason that wool of this class Is now
practically withheld from the market and
the greasy price has, in some instances
been advanced 2 cents over a week ago.
The sales of the week amount to 1.519,0OO
pounds domestic and 3,o33000 pounds for
eign, making total of 4,552 coo pounds

THE INVESTOR

ant tone Net gains exceeded a point in
nearly all stocks. The advances at the
opening were trivial, and trading was not
very active. but as the day advanced the
scope of speculation broadened and as
sumed more aggressive and confident
tone. The strength of the market devel-
oped first In Sugar, and spreading gradu-
ally through the market, separate stocks
were advanced sharply, one after the other,
before the whole market took up the move
ment. Some of the stocks which developed
most activity and strength yesterday were
somewhat neglected today, while the rest
OF the market rose to aproportionate level.
The bear element did not yield without a
struggle, and was not driven to cover until
late In the day. when the scramble of the
shorts materially aided the rise. There
was no news Of Importance during the day.

Ing rather crystallization Of several days
Impressions.
The almost total subsistence of appre-
hensfon over the Cuban question also had
its effect. There was some awakening of
outside interest manifested in the buying
through commission houses. This was
the most part was due to the operations
or powerful combined interest.
NO impression was made on the money
market today by the periodical interest and
dividend disbursements.

he points out the various sections of the

list of items, twenty-seven in number,
showing where the law Is evaded or
infringed. In reading over this formid.
able list the wonder grows as to the uses
of superintendent Of buildings who
draws a comfortable salary from the

evaded whose fault is 1t. And why
