The crowd, however, was inclined to keep a keen eye on Wall street and @ curb on their speculative desires, rather than on the legitimate situation. To buying from this quarter is attributed the bulge of a week credited the recent declining tendency of the market. Wall strect, however, is still belteved to be long and this combined with the stiff- and file on tenterhooks. At the opening some inconsequential seliing by a house supposed to of small stuff and May dropped to 76%@76%c. Here the pressure eased and on reports of ex- port engagements, the market gradually ral- lied to 76%c. Attempted realizing showed how slack the demand has grown. The decline caught stop-loss orders and the market near the end of the session dropped sharply to Tskc, The close was weak, 1}%@1% lower at Ts%@ 5%e. Exporters reported sixty-two loads tak- en. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 477,000 bushels, Corn was dull and easier, partly on the im- proved weather, but mainly with wheat.

BOSTON, Jan. 16.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: The past week In the wool trade has been about as Quiet as possible. There has been no material change in business here. Mills have not shown any great tendency to come around to the dealers' terms and on his part the dealer feels that he 18 not so pushed that he must come to the buyer and beg him to relieve him of his load. An Impression Las gone around that the American Woolen Company has been making ,eod slzed and frequent purchases of wool since anuary 1, some dealers estimating the com- pan¥is purchases in the millions. One report as been current around the market that a million pounds changed hands last week, with the combine as the purchasers. This can be denled in the strongest terms and on the best authority. The American Woolen Company did buy a considerable amount of wool a month or s0 ago and bought it for delivery after Jan- uary 1. Hence it {s very easy to see why they should have been moving a_considerable quantity of late. They have h taking up. not buying up, a considerable quantity of wool. The fact is that the buyers of the company did not make a single purchase during the lat- ter half of last week and that their total pur- chases for the week would not amount to half a milllon pounds. The sales for the week in Boston amounted to 1,520,000 pounds domestic and 195,000 pounds foreign, making a total of L715,000 pounds, against a total of 1,710,000 pounds for the previous week and a total of 2,965,000 pounds for the corresponding week last year. The sales since’ January 1 amount to! 4,874,000 pounds, against 8,035,600 pounds for the corresponding time last year. London Wool Market. LONDON, Jan. 16.—The offerings at the wool sales to-day numbered 13,939 bales. THere was a large attendance from all parts. The catalogues offered were much superior to yesterday's tenders and the bulk sold rflDldIY‘ Merinos caused active | competition. The Continent bought scoured at extreme rates, sometlmes paying as much as 10 per cent above the October average. Cross- breds were in good demand and sold freely. Scoured brought full prices. Cape of Good Hope and Natal was In large supply and prac- tically all was sold. A good selectfon of Queensland and Victoria new clip caused spirit- | ed bidding. American buyers were quiet, but | they from time to time purchased suitable lots | of good greasy. Chicago Livestock Market.
