HOSTON , Feb. 1C. The nmnunt of sales of
vool hero chows a considerable falling off , though
i number of manufacturers are still In the
narket looking after the raw material. Hut
lenlerR , who have reduced their slocks by the
'rco rales of lute , are disposed to look moro
confidently toward the future nnd are conec-
picnlly tinner In , their views ns to prices. The
sales of teirllory wool have been large slnco
till" llrst of the year nnd the available stock
lias been hugely reduced , yet It Is hard , work
n advance prices. In Ileece wools the market
s very strong and prlres on many kinds have
advanced during the past few weeks. Australian
wools yet meet good call. There Is u largo
amount of this business doing , which will foot
ip well , when wools are approved and delivered
and Hie sales are given out. Quotations : Mis-

In lluropp nnd the rubsldence of the alarm over
tl.e ( .ulbrc-ak In Crete , n tliaun by the early
report * of tun H net lorn on the continental bourees
and In Irfiniion Were , of courre , the main cnu es
nf the Hi ( ing tone of the market. The convic

of C'ictn toothed the fenrn Of foreign cnpltnllMs
and Amtrlciin * participated In the gain enjoyed
by othcm on the London exchange. 1/mdon nlso

the stlength of HIM country's financial position ,
The activity Impuru-u to the steel rnll trade by
the dljfolutlon of the pool nnd lower prices Is
nlso n favorable factor. Them were report" ! of
a better outlook for railway trnlllc In Ihc north-

All there repot Is mny be said to have con
tributed to the upward tendency nf the market
today. The only notable properties to manifest
dfptesslon at any time today were Tennessee

Manhattan , Western Vnlon und Tobncco. The
declines In thtec were more than recovered. It
Is expected the governors of the Hlock exchange
tomorrow will lake ncllon on the contract with
the ( lold and Stock Telegraph , conlrollcd by the

of Inside buying In Kugar , which , n utunl , en-
Jnyed a large propoitlon of the attenllon of th
exchange. The stock advanced 2Td per cent t

the railway list , gaining an average of about a

prominently In Oo late dealings. In the usiiallj
Innctlve slocks , Consolidated Ons Jumped 3 points

The bond market displayed nn Improved tom

The Hvenlng 1'ost'B London financial cable
gram nays : "There was a general Improvement
In Hie Block market today , liecihtpc of the occu
pation of Crete by the powers. Consols wcic
ll/i. ' There was simply nothing doing , although
prices held tlrm to the clone. Korelgn stocks
showed the most marked rise , because of the
better feelingIn 1'aris. There Is no likelihood
of much activity until the political situation is
clearer. A sharp rise was chronicled In copper
