CHICAGO, Dec. %. - Notwithstanding
that wheat to-day overtopped any pre-

wool Prices Firm.

American wool markets have exper1-
enced slow business during the last
month. although no real price weakness
has developed. according to the Now
England letter Of the First National
Bank of Boston. THE scarcity of fine
woods Is forcing manufacturers to turn
to the lower grades in spite OF the per-
sistent demand for fine feeling clothA
Consequently medium wool prices have
been advancing relatively faster than
the price Of fine woods fos the past few
months. Opinion generally inclines to
the view that prices are legitimately
high and likely to remain so for the
time. The imminence of the new sea-
son. In conjunction with the present
high price levels. calls for watchful
course by the manufacturers. With lit
tie wool left at country points and light
stocks In the hands of dealers in tho
seaboard markets 1t Is evident that the
sheep grower under present general
business conditions. has reason to look
for good prices for his 1928 clip"

Tho New York Stock Exchange firm

Since the notice was sent out on De-

In response to inquiries as to what

accounts A. A. Housmann & Co. sent
out a second letter on Thursday. giving
the customers the alternative of closing
the accounts and obtaining their cash
