BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, Dec. 7.-The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool market:
 The sales of the past week indicate the vol of business in progress is fully up to the average of this market in normal periods. An encouraging feature Is that 1t is not made up of a few large purchases by the prominent mills. The buying has become more general and the smaller markets have been more of a factor, and the business of the week has been more evenly distributed.
 This being the closing month of the year. when manufacturers and others will be busily occupied In taking account of stock the vol ume of business In progress is fully up to ex- pectations. If the heavyweight season starts In well, a greater demand for wool is looked for, which 1t Is expected will at least keep the market steady at current
 The sales of the week in Boston amount to 2S06 900 pounds domestic and 731, 300 pounds for eign, making total of S.357. .000 against a total of SS49.500 for the previous week, and total of 2 1000 for the week last year.
 Sales since January l. 1898, amount to 125, 4o0, = 510 pounds. against S5S, 354 600 pounds last year at this time.
