WOOL IS STEADlER
ON BOSTON MARKET
Domestic Conditions Are Improved
by Stronger Position at :.
Foreign Centers,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, jan 21.-The Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow
Rather more progress appears to
have been made this week toward
establishing a new trading basis for
wool. The market appears to be
staedier here and this condition un-
doubtedly has been helped materially
by the stronger position Of the foreign
markets. London, especially, opened
much stronger than had been expected
and has been well maintained, even
discounting the apparent flash-in the
pan buying reported by Russia.
while there is little more activity
In Summer street. it has not been
pronounced, nor has the buying at
country points been heavy. Prices still
are irregular and on the easy side, but
traders appear to be nearer together.
Meanwhile, the goods market grows
steadily more liquid and some business
Is being done ina laggard way.
"Mohair moves very moderately.
Prices are hardly changed"

BROKERS WEIGH
SLASH IN STAFFS
Frazier JeIke to Give Up
Wires-Many Firms
Delay Action.
81 the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-Pruning Of
brokerage machinery to the so-called
"investment-market" pattern contin-
ues, as indicated in the decision Of an
important stock exchange house to
abandon its wire system to correspond
ent firms In the Middle West and East
ana TO concentrate on its large &C.
counts in New York, London and AM
sterdam.
If one may credit gossip In brokerage
circles, q good many more changes in
that line can be expected this year.
Daily transactions on the ''big board
OF million shares or less have been
standard for several weeks. specula-
ton in commodities, lucrative source
OF commissions for the larger houses
from 1888 on, also has shrunk. New
corporate financing has been slow to
revive.
Hope for Improvement.
Many brokers are disposed to hold
out through the spring in expectation
business improvement may lift COM
mission revenues. Otherwise, it is
widely conceded in Wall Street, the
transition from a Speculative" to an
investment" market under S. E. c.
policing may necessitate further re-
vamplng in the far-flung trading ia
cilities built up in the post war decade
OF large-scale public participation in
the market.
Frazier Jelke & Co., In retaining its
London and Amsterdam brokerage
business. while discontinuing wires TO
out-of-town firms In this country, H.
lustrates a tendency In the brokerage
field to nurse along foreign connec-
tions.
1t has been no secret BROKERAGE
business over the cables has been rela.
lively good in recent years. This has
been traced both to increased Euro
pean buying Of American shares and
foreign dollar bonds and to some gain
In speculative participation by Ameri-
can traders in securities listed abroad.
Reasons Uncertain.
How much the trading from this end
IN London, Amsterdam and other In
ternational centers represents efforts
TO get better margin terms and avoid
other regulations in domestic markets
has been matter Of debate.
After the Federal Reserve Board in
1886 boosted margin requirements on
stocks to SIS per cent Of the market
price, there was frequent complaint
IN brokerage circles some business
was going abroad in search of less
stringent credit terms. Meanwhile,
the margin requirement has been
lowered to 40 per cent cash.

AS SLUMP CAUSE
British Financier Hopes
Lost Confidence Will
Be Regained.
RS the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Edwin FISH
er, chairman of Barclays Bank, Ltd.
one of England,s largest financial in
stitutions, said today the underlying
causes OF the business recession in the
United States ARE domestic rather
than international"
In statement on international
conditions, made at the banks an
nual meeting and cabled from Lon
don to its New York representative,
Fisher said:.
1T is to be hoped that lost conf
dence will soon be regained and that
private enterprise will be encouraged
to exert its influence toward the
betterment Of trade In that country
which is so important q factor In
world prosperity"
Nations may talk OF security Of
isolation" Fisher said, but the fac,
remains that We are all highly sensi-
tive to what is going on elsewhere
such as the interlocking of our sew
eral interests. A prosperous America
with her great population, her wide
territory and her natural resources
could DO much to promote a greater
degree Of well-being among the other
countries of the world
Discussing the satisfactory state
Of things" in the United Kingdom
as far as trade Is concerned, Fisher
said this causes some people Ito look
with unwholesome persistence for the
slump which they feel of necessity
must be around the corner"
I'VE should have proper sense OF
values" he continued. THAT bad
times follow good IS common knowl-
edge, and trade charts with their peaks
and depressions supply evidence OF
this, but as the stage is set today
and it is different setting from that
Of l929-there is little justification for
undue concern"
