LONDON WOOL SALES-London, Jan.
1.-THE first series of the wool auction
sales for this year opened today, with a.
large attendance. Competition at the
opening was rather quiet, but improved
continental buyers, who secured the bulk
of the better greasy merinos. The bid
ding on scoureds was not so good, ow-
ing to the inactivity of the home buyers:
There was a larger representation OF
American buyers than usual, and they
operated in cross breeds quite freely, pay
BILE for their requirements. The home
trade absorbed the bulk of greasy, and
slipes ruled in buyers favor with lower

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-Professional op-
erations in stocks fell away considerably
today and as there is no other interest in
the market the dealings made further
progress towards a condition of stagna-
ton There was some slight speculation
In Sugar, Tobacco and the local trac-
lions, but this represented little more
than swapping jack knives among the
board room traders, as may be judged
from the days small net changes. These
speculative favorites are higher on the
day after various fluctuations. There is
no better explanation of their having
gone up than that they went down yes
terday There was evidence on the part
Of shorts to cover in Tobacco, which
pulled it up shortly in the late dealing
and the rest of the market with 1t. 1t
was emphaticaEy a waiting market
and was by no means clear what it was
waiting for.
The fact that the dullness was shared
by the other great speculative centers
of the world gives point to the supposi-
ton that the development Of conditions
in South Africa Is what is awaited.
Money conditions continue to make
progress towards greater ease all over
the world without the slightest effect
on speculation. period of stagnation
after so drastic liquidation as that OF last
normal, without counting the South At
rican situation. 1t is very generally be-
lieved that British success there would
cause sharp rally in prices, If for no
other reason than from the covering
made by the bears, who have sold the
market in a spirit of skepticism over
any early change In the situation.
1t would be necessary to go back two
years to the time Of uncertainty proceed
ing our war with Spain to find a parallel
for the absolute listless or apparent
waiting which are the characteristics of
the current stock market. Rates for
time money were shaded below per cent
on choice collateral, under the influence
of the large accumulation Of reserves,
which Is coming into the New York
banks.
Dealings in bonds were on larger
scale than those in stocks and prices
were more firmly held Occasional large
individual transactions reflect the con-
tinued flow of capital into fixed invest
ments. Total sales, par value $l,56o,Vo0.
