WOOL MARKET,

Boston, Jan. 1.-THE american Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
The wool market is quiet. although the
volume of business transacted during
the last week has slightly exceeded that
of the previous week and during the
mast two or three days especially some
of the manufacturers have manifested
little more interest in the market. But
they are not free purchasers Of wool u
any means. and the entire weeks bust
ness foots UP a total of less than 5000,
600 pounds As a result Of the dizziness
experienced since the beginning of last
December. there has been more pressure
10 sell and as a matter of fact it has
been possible TO purchase wool in sew
eral instances at terms slightly below
what It had been previously selling for.
In other cases, however. wool has sold
at as high prices as were obtained during
the recent boom. The London sales
which opened on Thursday were a dis
appointment. as merinos experienced a
decline Of > per cent and crOss-breds were
slightly weaker. The sales Of the week
in Boston amounted TO $4,000 pounds
domestic and $500 foreign, making
total Of ?. $500 against a total OF 2.565.-
OpO for the previous week. and total
of 26S5.5GO for the corresponding week
last year. The sales since January l
amount TO S365.oo0 pounds. against g.
So 600 pounds for the corresponding time
last yeAr.

FIRM WHEAT MARKET
May Closes at an improve
ment of ~ a So Cent.
WEATHER HELPS CORN
Oats Higher and Provisions a
Shade Lower.

Chicago, Jan. T7--Light domestic re-
ceipts and the small decline at Liver
pool in the face of the heavy slump here
yesterday resulted in firm wheat mar
ket today, May closing 15g5sc improved.
Unreasonable weather gave backbone 10
corn, May closing 4 to sc over yester-
day. Oats at the close were i to Ac
higher and provisions a shade lower.
After the deluge of liquidation on which
marked the two preceding sessions OF
the board Of trade, the opening today
found a crowd of shorts ready TO cover
on slight provocation. There was a gen.
eral feeling, too, that decline OF 21zc
would In the natural course Of things
be partly regained. The relatively small
loss at Liverpool compared with 1$sQ112c
loss here yesterday, combined with light
northwest receipts, therefore constituted
a sufficient excuse for buying by shorts.
May opened nc over yesterday, with
trade active. The outside demand was
small, but the local buying pressure was
sufficient to influence an advance, May
ascending to Soc. At this point the mar
ket met free selling against calls. This,
together with q rumor Of British vic
tory in South Africa, caused a reaction,
May SellllS OIL 10 p09s AD012C- ne MAJ
ket steadied on buying against puts and
again advanced fresh demand having
arisen, carrying May to 66Q661sc. The
close was firm, May 1s95sc over yesrer-
day, at 655sc. Though quiet at times,
trade generally was active
Corn was firm AL day, supported by
firm cables, unseasonaby wet weather,
and light country offerings. The shipping
demand was not as good as it was earlier
in the week. At its best the price for
May was up 3sG1zc from yesterday, but
prfit-taking dulled the edge Of the gain.
Liverpool reported a strong demand, but
Dash business here failed to derive any
strength from the frmness of futures.
Receipts here were 81 cars. May ranged
from 1872 to 1890, closing AQ3sc over yes
terday, at 355sc.
Oats were steadily because the other
grain markets were firm. The volume
of business was fair. Shippers worked
30 900 bushels TO the seaboard, but the de-
mand from this quarter was poor. Re
ceipts here were 1872 cars. May sold from
"a to 241sc, closing 1sG14c up at 24d241sc.
Provisions opened with a show Of
strength on hog receipts bit under ex-
pectations and firm prices a the yards,
and as offerings were light and corn
strong, an advance followed. Liberal
profft-taking later Influenced g decline
which reduced the price to about yester-
days figures. The volume of trade was
not large, but was generally active. May
pork sold from 80. So to 81 OH and closed
a shade lower, at SO. 9215G1e. %; May lard
