Expect Activity in Wool.

BOSTON. July 27.-The local wool
market is duller so far as actual
sales are concerned. but buyers are
doing much sampling which It is be-
lieved will result In considerable busi-
ness. The mills. especially those
manufacturing worsteds. are busy.
and it is believed that the prices on
domestic light weight goods are low
enough effectually TO shut out for
eign competition. In view of the
strength OF foreign markets there Is
little likelihood that domestic woods
will be any cheaper and dealers are
holding firm although the movement
OF wool to this market is extremely
heavy
4 good every day business is being
done in territory woods and has been
the case since the opening Of the sea-
son. Most OF the business IS in orig
inal bags
There is little activity in secured
woods and in pulled woods the offer
ings are unusually light. A sale OF
$4,000 pounds of Ohio three-eights
blood combing wool has been the only
important business Of the week in
fleeces. though here. too. there is a
great deal OF sampling.

CHICAGO. July 27.-AH through
the week there was a noticeable i'm
provement in the trend Of the wheat
trade at worlds centers. The improve
ment abroad, caused by the smaller
crop prospects and the forecasts Of
greater imports by Europe from Am

here and late In the week prices re-
