BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, Aug. 2.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
Although the train of the Wool market is
quieter the volume OF business holds up very
we'll the transactions of the past week ag
gregating over six million pounds. This vol
ume OF trade has been accomplished without
any special effort being made on the part of
the holders of Wool to push trade or 10 make
anv concessions in values A larger business
could have been done il the trade had been
willing to concede slightly but holders of
Wool were very firm and built hopes the
goods market. The excitement in the country
is over. The "ool has passed from farmers
hands and the trade is busy in handling and
shipping Woods which have been sold during
the past few weeks.
The sales Of the week in Boston amounted TO
> 500 900 domestic and 5000 pounds foreign,
making a total OF 6,439, coo, against total of
I 271 600 for the previous week and a total of
4q4 700 for the corresponding week last year.
Sales since January l. 1899 amount to 163, 4S6,
600 pounds. against 6S,4SS5lO pounds last year
at this time.

. OUR COMMERCIAL STATUS.

The New York circular OF Henry Clews
says: ,,.
The general business situation is highly
rroraising Nearly all the principal indus
tries are actively employed, and the iron trade
IS experiencing boom beyond all precedent
An extraordinary fact is the comparative alb
sence OF speculation. Our mills are crowded
with orders for goods that wanted for
actual consumption: and for once in history
et least the speculator has failed 10 anticipate
future wants Another striking feature is the
uniform belief that we TO have one or
two years of prosperity like the present with
l.trle interruption. The world, and especially
the United States is recovering several years
Ut retarded growth with q rush. In ABOUT z
wear however production Will have partlallF
caught UP with consumption, ana We may
then expect some abatement of activity. The
numerous advances in wages and the starting
u new enterprises viii suffice 10 carry Us
along for a considerable period crop pros
poets are not untayOrabe. There is every
likelihood Of our having an average amount
Of Fhea: for home and foreign consumption,
with prospects Of a good demand on the lat
ter account: Corn promises well. RalIroad
"a -,,ing. show very handsome gains. The
yralrers are carrying enormous quantities
- grain and the great revival in lnduStIlaI
and commercial activity materially swells
their revenue The political future contains
many verpleNing questions, but they are not
OF the so-: that viii seriously anect business;
s.Easthourd shipments this week were l-P,pgv
t5ris As against 4 coo tons for the correspond
lrr weak of last year This is what is back
ing the stock market, as Il is a most poten-
tfal legitimate factor on the bull side II is
ms Kind % prosperity which makes the Vo-
cation Of the bears on railroad shares an uh-
:roitahIe occupation at the present time.
