Wheat and Other Grams.

WHEAT-More peaceful news from South
Africa depressed foreign quotations and Chi
cago dropped in sympathy. There were more
buyers than sellers, however, at the decline.
There were shippers in the market and the
bears availed themselves of their advantage TO
hammer prices down. Later cables brought
good bids for wheat and corn on English and
Continental account.
The local market was nominal on the spot,
and futures declined sharply.

Boston Wool Market.

BOSTON. Oct 4-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter viii say tomorrow:
While the demand for wool has not ruled
quite as active during the past week as pre-
viously good-sized business has been trans
acted Some of the dress good mills and yarn
spinners works have been buying. The Ameri-
can Wooden Company has been less of a factor
in the market although some of the mills in
the combine have purchased moderately. It
could hardly be expected that the pace which
characterized the course of the market for the
past six weeks could be maintained indefinitely,
and it is indeed remarkable that the volume Of
business has kept up as we'll as 1t has. The
sales of wool in this market since January /
now aggregate over 225. 600, coo pounds. Last
year at this time they amounted to less than
81 600. .00G pounds. Prices are strong and con-
tiuue to terd up
The sales of the week in Boston amounted
to 6. .612 900 pounds domestic and 2S5, 900 pounds
foreign, making a total of 600 against a
total of 9.765, 900 for the previous week and a
total Of l,643 00e for the corresponding week
last year. Sales since January /, 1s99 amount
to 226 SOS 100 pounds against Sc. 01e pounds
last year at this time

ering on contradictory rumors- some hoping for
peace from Mr.. Hofmeyers visit to Pretoria
others expecting war from the story that the
British have entered the Free State. Both re-
ports are read bulishly, however, as imply
ing the end of the uncertainty. It is remem-
bered that Americans rose when the Spanish
war began. Consols We're 103d for money and
103asd for the account.
