THE SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
Connected With Coming Coronation
Are Making London Very Lively.


London, June 2.-Social functions
such as House parties, dinners and
balls in connection with the Coronation

crossing that, combined with the un-
usually brilliant and hot weather they
are driving the people to seek out
door recreation. AS a result the theater
managers who anticipated heavy
business from the influx of visitors to
London find themselves confronted
with half empty houses.
The details of the coronation procession
are now sufficiently complete TO show
that il will be a splendid calvacade over
mile long. The representatives of the
foreign courts will not ride III the pro-
cession, but win be accommodated with
seats ON the stands along the route

Boston Wool Market.

Business in wool in the local market
mas again fallen to a low ebb The ac-
tWlty noted last week was due largely
TO the fact that remaining supplies OF
last year s clips We're made to appear
very reasonable by advancing prices in
the west The purchases. therefore
were something in the nature of a spec
ulation.
As the movement of manufactured
goods is positively sluggish. it is essen
tal that the manufacturers secure raw
material cheap enough to enable them to
make prices that will appeal to buyers.
Ii is not deemed wise TO do much in
wool when purchases of any account are
likely to turn the market against them.
But in the face of extreme quiet here
business and prices also are booming in
the West. In Montana buyers from the
East have corailed in week by the low
est estimate about 20 per cent of the
reason with existing conditions In the
East have been paid.
favorable thing about the opera
tons in the West this year is that those
who have bought have secured the pick
OF the clips and the clean costs may not
be as high as generally believed
! Buying is active and prices are soaring
in the fleece wool states.
Z Practically nothing is being done by
Eastern buyers in California and opera
tons in Texas have been largely confined
TO the spring woods.
Business during the week amounts to
barely 100000 pounds, compared with
rising 100000 pounds the week before.
The leading grades of wool are quoted
in Boston as follows:
