WOOL MARKET,

Boston, Dec 13.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
The wool market has continued quiet
at unchanged prices. The London sales
closed on Monday Of this week firm at
an advance over opening quotations Of
3 per cent, making closing prices % to
Is per cent in advance Of the final quota
tons Of the previous sales. This, of
course, has resulted in still further
strengthening the views of holders of do
mestic wool, some of whom are asking
prices considerably above the ideas #
manufa cturers, who as a class are not
disposed to purchase further until some
thing more definite is known regarding
the heavyweight season and until the
money market eases up. The tightness
in the money market tends to curtail op-
erations and a quiet period is anticipated
from now until after the turn of the new
year. The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 6,5O9 eco pounds domestic and
2J5, 600 pounds foreign, making a total Of
6,664,0o0, against a total of 6,S21 900 for the
previous week and a total of 5.2l7OCO for
the corresponding week last year. Sales,
since January /, 1899 amount to S241,-
467,776 pounds. against 130,713,510 pounds
last year at this time"

MARKET FIVE HIGHER
Fifteen Cars Go Over the
Scales and Demand Firm.
TOPS UP TO 1892 ~
Cattle Market Steady With
Little Doing.

The local hog market yesterday was
strong five cents higher, and there was
one quotation given out as to ~ cents
higher. Considering the very unsatis-
factory weather. the trading yesterday
was very good, there being a very good
supply Of car hogs received and the 10
cal trading also strong. Prices went up
again for all the hogs which appeared,
and there was q keen demand for them
At the advanced price. Chicago reported
Market steady to a shade higher
Kansas City gave out Steady to
strong" while st. Louis was given as
barely steady" This market was a
strong &c higher, and was all through
the day strong and active, buoyant and
firm. There was a keen, eager demand
FOR the hogs and though the weather was
against any heavy shipments, the supply
was fairly good and everything in sight
was disposed Of at once and a the best
prices. On the close everything offered
Gas been sold and at better prices than
could have prevailed anywhere else, and
better than the same class would have
brought on any other market. There
were buyers for all that was offered, and
many times the amount Of hogs, had they
come in, would have been bought. II
was a very firm, strong market, all
through the day, and the shippers who
had in stock were over the scales, and
they all sold at the best market prices,
generally considerably above those of the
other western markets.

good investment demand and liberal out

British reverses in South Africa, by
stimulating the Liverpool price, were in
directly a supporting influence TO the
wheat market here Receipts continued
light and the combination of these two
factors resulted in a firm tone to the
market at the opening initial figures for
May, 6914 q693sc, being A443sc over yes
terday's close. The holiday duIlness was
upon the market and scalpers took profits
at every opportunity, the high plane
which was the solid basis of the price
throughout being occasionally fractional
ly indented by their operations. The close
was strong, May up 12Q5sc over yester-
day, at 6y1aq695sc.
Corn held steady, helped by the strength

quite active, with plenty of traders in
the pit. Commission houses were in the
market with a plentitude Of outside or
ders and local bulls added literally 10
their lines as an investment. The de-
mand for product was excellent. The
run Of hogs was under the estimate a
fact to which the market-owed some Of
its strength. Western receipts were con-
siderably under last years. May pork
