the rule Of late. Opening prices,

WOOL TRADING LIVELY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, November 1.-THE new
week began in the raw wool markets
with a good volume of trading at
well sustained prices. The strength
of wool, particularly in the last week,
has led to eXtravagant predictions in
some quarters as to when the price
peak will be reached. Exporting of
wool has practically ceased and
American buyers are becoming more
and more a factor in Australian and
New Zealand markets. Dealers con-
tinued to scramble for contracts in
the West, but growers, imbued with
the high price idea, are acting more
coy about signing.
