BOSTON April 4.-The Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow:
Manufacturers continue to operate in
the wool market in the most listless man
ner, although tho wool merchants arc
hopeful that the near future will bring
better business. Meantime, a number of
6ealers are accepting prices from the for
eign markets. which are 10 to Is cents a
charges. than can be obtained for wool
here. and shipments cleared this past
week have been something over two mil
lion pounds, a record.
THE foreign markets are strong. Lon
don closing at the top for the series,
while the primary markets keep very
strong, even with inferior offerings.
Tho goods market is still in the dol
drums apparently. and manufacturers are
inclined TO buy little that they do not ac
tually need. In the west, contracting has
been sluggish. Shearing will commence
generally very soon.
"Mohair is very strong, showing a ris-
ing tendency abroad and being very firm
here"

NEW YORK, April 4.-Dun's tomorrow
Will say: BY retarding spring activities
inclement weather has accentuated the
contraction of business. April opened
with snow storms along the Atlantic
seaboard which checked demand for sea
sonable goods and impeded trapsporta-
ton, and low temperatures and floods in
some other sections have been added
drawbacks. Apart from the restraint inn
posed by the elements the commercial
movement shows more plainly the effects
of the cautious forward buying inA most
lines. Production In certain quarters as
best previous records. but apparently ex-
ceeds consumption, and output in some
instances, notably at textile mills, Ms be-
ing curtailed because Of the small volume,
of new orders.

dominating. Southern Pacific and New
York Central led the advance. while Wa
bash "a" Reading and Chesapeake and

Industrials showed a reactionary tendency
and the same class of switching from
industrials into rails as we had yester-
day was in evidence. General Electric
moved up to 221. a recovery Of more
than. 4 points from yesterdays low. The
declaration of the regular dividend Of
United States Rubber was responsible for
the advance in 1t. Copper stocks were
strong in anticipation of favorable re-
port The oils became very active at
rising prices as the rails slowed up and
cific OIL and Marland changed hands
Gosden and Sinclair were also we'll
bought. Toward the close some of the
industrials and rails eased off little
from the high points, while the oils in
general closed at about the top prices.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Constructive
forces were at work in today's more
active stock market, continued strength
of the railroad shares being aceompa-
MED by bullish demonstrations in the
oils, steels and public utilities. So
brisk was the demand for railroad
shares that the average of 20 leading
stocks established new 1924 high.
Operations on the long side, while
more aggressive than hitherto this
week, were restricted somewhat by the
apparent disposition of several large
operators to await publication Of. the
Dawes report and Senate action on
the tax reduction bill before extending
their commitments, Short covering ap-
parently based on the belief that the
recent reaction had been overdone was
particularly noticeable in the indus

would show a reduction in untitled Or
