With Supplies Light Prices Are Gradually Hardening, as the Demand Is Strong for AI most AH Classes. Sales of Western wool In Boston In the past week Included a lot of baled Oregon wool, afrrre gating about 100.000 pounds, at IS and 19 cents In the grease, or 59 and 60 cents clean basis. Some fine and fine me dium Wyoming- brought 18 and 1 cents in the grease cr about 60 cents clean. Original wool sales Included some Montana at about ft? 61 cents clraa and considerable New Mexican. Colorados, Idahoa, etc., at prices ranging from 57 and 60 or 61 cents clean. 'There has also been soma business lit Cali fornia wools. Including about 60.000 pounds of gprlng at prices ranging from 50 and 54 rents clean, while about 36,000 pounds of Middle County Is reported at a scoured cost of 30 cents. Although the Boston market Is less active than it was. the commercial Bulletin con siders conditions very good yet. It says: "The market for wool Is changed but little so tar as prices are concerned. One or two grades bave shown advances In price, but generally speaking the market Is firm at last week's rat?5, with demand strong for almost all class? of wool." Commenting on the generally strong situ. atlon in the world's matUrt?. tlie Bulletin says: "No cessation of hostilities Is apparent In Australia as yet, although many of the Eu ropean buyers think prices are dangerously high and aver that they are proceeding with caution on account oi me general conai- tiocs outside the market, such aa high money. Balkan difficulties, eta Neverthe less the Continent and England are the principal buyers in the primary market auc. Hons and give no Indications of letting up In their operations right away. Market val ues have been advancing, therefore, under the keen competition prevailing. Generally speaking, the supplies suitable for this mar- kr; that have been offered at the Australian markets thus far have been very few. With the Geelong sales.

In most of Its sentials today's stock market was a repeti tion of the nrecedine day's session. Irreg ularlty was no less pronouncea ana mere were frequent periods of dullness, attnout; the total output was larger. Trading was broader, but Dlalnlv orofessional. some of the specation running Into Issues supposed to be manipulated by pools. Further clearing of the European war clouds was an Important factor, the initial rise of one to two ooints being a natural sequence of the strong London market, de spite increasing firmness In mortey and dis counts at that .center. Both I Paris and Berlin displayed renewed strength and those markets, with London, were buyers here to the extent of probably 25,000 shares on balance. Some surprise was expressed In local banking circles at the rise in the German bank rate from 5 to 6 per cent, making the second advance in less than a month and to the highest figure quoted by. that instltu tion since January of 1008. Private cables from London and Pans suggested resumption of copper buying ier European consumers, which probably ac counted in largo measure for the strength of those shares. Pressure against TJnlted States Steel per sisted throughout the -session, but American amcmng recovered an or its early decline. with general firmness at the close.

The baying flurry In the hop market seems to have come to an end temporarily. No purchases of cheap hops were reported 1 25 lbs. yesterday, and most of the dealers were without orders. The reason given for the subsidence of the demand was the fact that buying has recently been too easy. According to a report from North Taklma, Bob Llvniey bought 10 bales there at 20 H cents. This is said to be the laat fine lot of Taklmas left. The price shows a very stesdy market for this quality. Consul H. A. Johnson, at Ghent, writing on October 19. said of the Belgian crop: "Highly encouraging reports are received from the hop growers in the district or Alost. and. owing largely to the stable eon dltions prevailing In the German markets, the situation has decidedly Improved In this region during the past few days. Prices quoted for Belgian hope show an advance of 10 to 15 franca per 60 kilos (l.t3 to $2.90 per 110 pounds). Offers are received at 97.50 franca tls.S0). and while sellers are demanding 100 francs ($19.30. as yet no Important transactions have bean registered. "The quality of the late crop is consld ered decidedly superior to that of earlier growth, especially as regards Its qualities of dryness and complete maturity. The to. tal yield of the present crop will, it Is claimed, fall short of the estimates pre viously made." plantation. $5.70: beet. $3 55; extra C, I5.j; powdered, barrels.

The 'uninterrupted declines In the foreign and Eastern wheat markets have at last affected the situation In the Northwest. Prices have been lowered all around, the buyers- now offering 77 cents for club and SI cents for bluestem. The decline Is be ginning to nae etrect on Tanners who, up to this time, have hoped the market would revive and that the prices current a few weeks ago would be repeated. Some of them are now convinced that the situation la weak and they are accepting the present Trices. The selling at the new quotations, however. Is not free. If It were, the price mljtht go still lower. Plenty cf reasons can he given why prices should go lower, such aa the good con. cition. so reported, or the Argentine crop, now about to be put on the market, the failure of the Balkan dispute to provoke a general conflagration, and the supply and demand position of the market, taken as a hole. Of course, enough other reasons can also be' brought forward to show why prices snonia anvanee. Local receipts.
