Boston market was very slow to day. Occasionally small lota of fine original territory wool were moved at $1 to 51.02, scoured basis, for good French combing length and at 95 to 98 cent, scoured basis, for average to short French combing length. Users were reported placing some orders for Australian wools to be imported direct from that coun try. . -, WHEAT MARKET UP AFTER PROFIT SALE CHICAGO, Dec. 21 (P) Pre Christmas acceptance of profits as a result of the swift December rise of wheat price waa only on a small scale today, in contrast to selling the previous two ses sions, and' the market staged a strong rally of 2 to 3 cents a bushel. Buyers reinstating wheat line old out the past few day or cov ering up short account dominated most of the session despite fre quent price reactions. Many deal er expected the government esti mate of winter wheat acreage and condition, dne after the close, to reveal extensive crop damage par ticularly in the southwest as a re sult of the unprecedented drought which has not yet been relieved. Although receding slightly from the day' high, wheat closed 1 2 cents higher than yesterday, December 51.09 -1.081, May 51.051-lc. Corn waa c lower to 1c higher, December 55-c, May 58-c; oat -c higher. CRACKING WALNUTS IS LAW VIOLATION SALEM, Dec. 21 (P) State Labor Commissioner Charles H. Gram warned persons In the busi ness of cracking and hulling wal nut and filberts that It is Illegal for them to aell nut to their workers to take home to crack and then bring the meats back to the employer. . . . Gram said this was a "subter fuge" and violates the federal wage and hour law. There is no power great enough to kill the Finnish spirit. HJal mar Procope, Finnish minister to United States.

Slow buying from Oriental eustomer had left unwieldy sup plies in the Pacltlo northwest. Prices had failed lo rise pro portionately In the Portland mar ket until the eastern buyer, cared by drought report, got paymenta up to where It would pay to buy on the coast. Trade reports said today there had been a considerable volume of flour sold on this coast lately, and some wheat, for delivery In the gult and aouth Atlantic area. From Tennessee cam the re port Paclfio coast wheat waa on a competitive price basis In that region. From Kansaa City came additional reporta of some sale there of Pacific wheat and flour,. Wheat men here were awaiting the government crop report today with perhaps as much Interest as they have shown In any crop estimate in years. Tho official data on the extent of the mid west failure la much more sig nificant, . however, In the north west than in California. Oregop wheat surpluses may well be cleaned out with any further advances In Chicago prices, should they, be sufficient to increase the recent buying In the northwest. Those surpluses nave oeen cut down, too, by sub stantial sale to Russia. Charter ing of several ships for delivery of wheat to Russia showed the iia of that movement, eatlmated by one dealer here to bo around 100,000 tons. Those farmers who still hold wheat are getting remunerative price in current markets. While drought ha been restricting the coast seeding!, many California farmers are still hoping for enough rainfall to enable them to put In additional acreage at me eieventn hour.
