There Is a scarcity Of fine woods the
world over; foreign markets have been
advancing by leaps and bounds. the
Australian clip, which again shows a
material reduction. has been eagerly
bought by anxious users Of wool: the
London markets have steadily ad-

risen beyond all expectation. As yet
prices Of wool have not been unfavor-
ably affected by developments in the
financial situation. The members OF the
wool trade are in excellent financial
shape, having largely disposed OF their
stock, for which they have received
cash.

NEW YORK AND CHICAGO MARKETS.
SUMMARY OF PRICES.
THE WEEK IN WALL sTREETs

New York, Jan. s,-Wall street week.
~ review: Investment buying has
maintained the level Of prices of rail-
road stocks during the week Large Of
ferings have been absorbed TO take
profits on the sharp recovery from the
recent panic level Of prices. A large
bear interest was caught heavily short
In some Of the industrial stocks and
their urgent demand caused some ex-
cited advances. Strength in the trunk
line group, led by New York Central
has been the feature OF the railroad
list. The money market reflected the
effect Of dividend and interest disburse-
ments in a condition Of growing ease,
which further exports Of gold did not
serve TO prevent.
