CHICAGO, Feb. 1.—WHEAT—Comparative firmness at Liverpool, considering the sharp slump here yesterday, gave wheat a good start, | The weather throughout the winter wheat country was recognized as being very trying on the plant, and as the flelds were sald to be for the most part bare of snow some ap- prehension under such conditions was favor- able. May opened %@%c higher at T4%@7sc, and as there was a disposition on the part of some shorts to cover the price touched T5%c. The early signs of recuperation in the local market soon disappeared under the discourag- ing weakness of the New York market. While at Chicago the price of May showed a S ad- | vance over yesterday's closing price, New York did not recover more than %c. As the heavy shorts who had sold May wheat from around 78 showed no Inclination to cover on the carly advance the market. was left without suport as soon as a few of the more moderate oper- ators had taken what profit the improvement in prices gave them.

BOSTON BOSTON, Feb. 1.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say ta-morrow: The wool market has, on the whole, shown a great im- | provement during the past week. Prices as yet | have shown no advance, it is true, but a firmer feeling prevails and there has been more busi- ness transacted. = The cause of improvement was the report of an advance in the price of heavy welghts by a leading worsted mill and the possibility that a further advance would be established on these goods next week. The Dullish feeling is intensified also by the course of the London sales, at which prices have ad- | vanced about 2 per cent on some lines of | érossbrods ana fully 5 per cent on merinos. The month of January was a disappointing one. Tae volume of business transacted was considerably less than last vear. The sales amounted to only 17,882,000 pounds, as compared with 28,610,000 pounds in 18%. The sales of the week in Hoston amount to 3,396,000 pounds do- mestic and 000 foreign, making a total of 4,666,000 pounds, against a total of 3,524,000 for the wrevious week and a total of 4,137,000 for the corresponding week last year. Sales since ! January 1, 1899, amout to 17 882,000 pounds, | against 23,610,000 pounds last year at this time. LONDON WOOL MARKET. | | | LONDON, Feb. 1.—The first serfes of the 1899 wool auction sales closed to-day. Throughout the serfes the tone was very strong. It is esti- mated that the home trade secured §3,000 bales, | the Continent 82,000 and America §000. Nine- | teen thousand bales were carried over. The | opening was active at an advance of from § to 7 per cent. Subsequently Merinos were in par- | ticular request, especlally medlum and inferfor combining b- the home trade and theContinent. Prices soon hardened 10 per cent and the ad- vance was maintained until the end. The feat- ure of the sales was the continual spirited Con- tinental demand for fine locks and pleces, which were about the dearest in the market | throughout. — American requirements were lighter, the demand for well grown and medi- um greasy cross-breds causing a rise of 10 to 15 per cent above the December prices. During the last day or two operations slackened, but the eager competition was again evident to-day. | The finer qualities, in sympathy with Merinos, were strongly supported, principally by the home trade. Coarse and shabby, also scoured slips improved slightly early in the session, but later there was a slackening in the de- mand. Withdrawals were more frequent. Cape of Good Hope and Natal was In limited sup- ply. There was a good request for these grades and medium scoured, fleece washed, ad- vanced Tl and snow white greasies 5 per cent.
