BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, Feb. 1.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: The wool
market has, the whole, shown great inn
proyement during the past week. Prices as yet
have shown no advance, it is true, but firmer
feeling prevails and there has been more bust
ness transacted. The cause of improvement
was the report of an advance in the price of
heavy weights by leading worsted mill and
the possibility that further advance would
be established these goods next week. The
bulish feeling is intensified also by the course
of the London sales at which prices have adj
vanced about 20 per cent some lines of
erossbrais and fully per cent on merinos
The month of January was a disappointing
one. the volume of business transacted was
considerably less than last year. The sales
amounted to only II, $50, 900 pounds, as compared
with %, $40 600 pounds in 1898. The sales of the
week in Boston amount to 3,Ss6,0OO pounds do
nestle and 10000 foreign, making a total of
4666 coo pounds, against a total of 1924, 900 for
the previous week and a total of 4,137 900 for
the corresponding week last year. Sales since
January /. 1899, amout to II 1000 pounds,
against g. 900 pounds last year at this time.
