BOSTON, May 28.—Wool business lo cally is irregular The leading feature of the past week has been the opening Hnd sale of srfrne new’ clip territory wools. These wools are selling very slowly, the present condition being al most a complete reversal of that pre vailing a year ago No further sacri fice sales of old wools are reported. Few leading houses nave any volume of wool to offer. Conditions in the West are Improving from the dealers' standpoint, as growers have moderated to some ex- tent their demands. Buyers also have changed their attitude a little The en- j riaavor to market the new clip wools. however, is so difficult as to prevent j free buying In the West at the level of ' prices recently quoted. Receipts of wool in pounds for the week ended and Including Wednesday were as follows: Domestic Foreign ....

The trade buys contracts as hedges against future need, hut refuses to sell. The public is not in the market at all. The talent, as a rule, has been bearish all spring and has sold whenever a profes sional speculator or a merchant would buy All along speculative shorts in numbers have counted on favorable weather and favorable crop reports to depress the market and give them op portunity to cover at a profit. All this was. of course, based on their belief in a balanced market. Belligerent bears never for a mpment imagined that the public would drop out or that the trade would turn into a sponge. "Recently the weather became ex tremely favorable and the character of the crop reports reflected much im provement. But because the long in terest in the main is held by the trade and is not for sale, nobody stood ready to feed contracts to the market and ex pectant shorts began to discover that to get under cover they would have to bid the market up to a point where scalp ers would supply them. "On Monday shorts were made ner vous by the drift of the market. On | Tuesday they were worried. On Wed nesday they were apprehensive and on Thursday they were excited.

Disappointing Cables and Bear News From the Weather Man Encourage Selling. NEW YORK. May 23.—On overnight buying orders the cotton market opened firm to-day. May 6 points higher, with other positions showing irregularity, being 1 off to 2 points up from last night's close. The appearance of clearing weather in the Western belt with a probability that it would extend to the rest of the belt by to-morrow caused considerable un loading after the call. Much of this was absorbed by overnight buying orders. Commission houses, the ring crowd and Wall Street, also a few’ brokers with spot house connections sold heavily. The selling was said to be profit-taking. May dropped back to last night's close, while other positions declined some 4 to •X points under the previous close. The buying was light and scattered. During the forenoon a renewal of buying predominated, which checked the selling pressure to a considerable ex tent, resulting in prices recovering the initial decline. May option, however, was not in demand and held steady around the early low point. The ad- \ ance was attributed chiefly to the con tinued rains throughout the cotton states. Rains were heavy throughout the State last night and reports of heavy rainfall were received during the •ntire dav There was fear among the locals of too much rain, which stimu lated a general covering wave.

Conner, State Commissioner of Agriculture, said Friday the rains of this week would prove a wonderful benefit to the cotton that has not yet come up. Reports showed, he said, that only 52 per cent of the crop was up. The crop is late on an average of thirteen days throughout the State. "The showers of last night and ear lier in the week will work miracles in gardens." said he. ' But so* far as cot ton is concerned, it would be better if the rains would stop altogether now — that is. If the fall we have had in Atlanta has been general. "After the cotton crop gets up, it doesn’t need much rain; rain brings grass.” Reports to the Georgia State Col lege of Agriculture from 65 counties are favorable. Only a few counties are still suffering from the drouth. Spring oats are turning out poorly, but fall oats are fine. All crops are well cultivated. The dry weather has given farmers plenty of time. Demonstrators declare a greater number of farmers will follow their oat crops with sowings of peas and other short crops, showing a greater tendency toward diversifica tion.

NEW ORLEANS, May 23. Excepting that it is too cool, a condition, however, which will not last more than a day or two. weather developments overnight were very favorable. A rain formation is directly over the Atlantics and general rains and cooler weather are indicated for the Eastern States, while fair weather will prevail over the Western half with rising tem peratures. The press gives grave political news. London reports a serious battle between Greeks and Bulgarians and the peace conference delayed. Liverpool was disappointing and weakened further in the last hour; spoi sales only 5,000 at 6 points wrlvance. Po litical developments with consols low er must have caused an unfavorable impression Trading here was quieter this morning. Prices eased repeatedly, but support appeared on depressions and held October to 11.30. Forwardings from Liverpool this* week ate larger than expected, probably due to the delay in shipments on accont of the recent holidays. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

MODERN MILLER CROP OUTLOOK. ST. LOUIS. May 23.—This is the first week since winter wheat was planted that reports regarding the condition of the crop are conflicting. There is hardly any doubt that the crops have gone backward, yet it appears that the de terioration is confined to small areas and is not of a serious nature. In many localities the crop is losing color, and is uneven and stand not up to the ear lier promise, but timely rains would be much benefit. In the southwestern part of the belt lack of rain Is felt most, and there are reports of damage by chinch bugs. It will take only one more good rain in the near future and a few show’ers later on to bring the crop to maturity. Most of the wheat has headed in a fairlx satisfactory way. but the rapid growth noted for some time past has not been maintained, as the colder and dry weather has retarded growth and in some localities the straw is short. The harvest which the conditions up to a week ago indicated w*ould be exception ally early will be delayed to some extent, yet should be no later than in a normal sense. IOWA GRAIN OUTLOOK GOOD. CHICAGO. May 23.—Des Moines says: "We can not realize how much crops have suffered in other localities and States, but so far as Iowa is concerned we feel that the oats acreage is about as large as last year, and it Is stated that the soil is in best of condition and growth of small grain i# very remarka ble for this time of the year. Should we have anything like reasonable ard pleasant weather, farmers will finish corn planting very rapidly, and then you can look for movement of corn and oats that will surprise you.’ Grain quotations: Previous High.
