WOOL.

BOSTON, January 1.-THE Amer
lean Wool and Cotton Reporter will
say tomorrow:
The wool market is still quiet. al
though the volume of business tran
sacted during the past week has slight
ly exceeded that of the previous week,
and during the past two or three days
especially some of the manufacturers
have manifested a little more interest
in the market. But they are not free
purchasers of wool by any means, and
the entire weeks business foots up a
total of less than 5000, 900 pounds. As
a result of the dullness experienced
since the beginning Of last December
there has been more pressure to sell,
and as a matter of fact it has been
possible to purchase wool in a few in
stances on 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 Tuesday. were a dis
appointment. as merinos experienced
a decline of 5 per cent. and crossbreds
were slightly weaker.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 2,570.000 pounds domestic
and 395, 900 foreign. making a total of
1906, 900, against a total of 1855, 900
against a total of 2.565, 900 for the pre-
vious week and a total of 1885, 500 for
the corresponding week last year. The
sales since January 1 amountd to g.
035, 500 pounds, against s,692, 900
pounds for the corresponding time last
year.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, January 1.-THE light
domestic receipts and the small decline
at Liverpool in the face of the heavy
stump here yesterday resulted in a firm.
wheat market to-day, May closing Is
@B improved. Unreasonable weather
gave backbone to corn, May closing u
W%c over yesterday. Oats at the close
We're B@Ac higher and provisions a
shade lower.
After the deluge of Liquidation which
marked the two preceding sessions OF
the Board OF Trade, the opening to-
DAY oun a crowd of shorts ready &c
cover on slight proyocaticn. There
was a general feeling, too, that a de-
cine OF 2hc would in the natural
course OF things bepartly regained. The
relatively small loss at Liverpool COM
pared with the 13s@1kc loss to the
price here yesterday combined with
lisnt Northwest receipts, therefore,
constituted a sufficient excuse for buy
ing by shorts. May opened Nc over
yesterday with trade fairly active. The
outside demand was small but the local
buying pressure was sufficient TO In
huence an advance, May ascending to
66c. At this point the market met
free selling against calls. This, to,
gether with a runlor of a British VIC
tory in South Africa, caused a reac-
ton, May selling off to 65% @65hc.
The market steadied on buying against
puts and again advanced a fresh de-
mand having arisen carrying May to
66@66hc. The close was firm, MAY
RQBc over yesterday at 65Mc. Though
quiet at times, trade generally was &C
tive.
Corn was firm all day, supported by
firm cables, unseasonably wet weather
and light country offerings. The ship
ping demand was not as good as it was
earlier in the week. At it's best the
price for May was up %@kc from yes
terday, but profit taking dulled the edge
of the gain. Liverpool reported a
strclg demand, but the cash business
here failed to derive any strength from
the firmness of futures. Receipts here
were 237 cars. May ranged from 33hc
to 33%c, closing Nose over yester-
day at 33sc.
Oats were steady because the other
grain markets were firm. The volume
OF business was only fair. Shippers
worked SO, 900 bushels to the seaboard,
but the demand from this quarter was
poor. Receipts here 1923 cars. May
sold from 24c to 24hc, closing B@Hc
UP at 24@24Bc.
Provisions opened with a show OF
strength on hog receipts a bit under
expectations and firm prices at the
yards. Liberal profit taking later in
fluenced a decline which reduced the
price to practically yesterdays final
figures. The volume of trade was moi
large, but trade was generally active.
May pork sold from $10.S5 to $11.07h,
and closed a shade lower at $10.921S
@10.95; May lard from $5.971a to
$6.07A, closing unchanged at $6.02s,
and May ribs from $5.75 to $685., with
the close a shade down at S5.77k@
$50.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 25 cars; corn, 325 cars; oats,
$50 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
