BOSTON WOOL MARKET By United Financial BOSTON, Aug. s.—There are signs in the local wool market of a revival in the demand for good grades of wool, especially since champions of the wool schedule of the tariff bill claim that the rate will remain unchanged. Wool men aro therefore preparing to boost prices, especially if the independent companies report a good demand for the spring opening lines. Last week when it wus suggested that there may be some modification of the wool schedule, operators were inclined to bold aloof from the market, but since that time there has been a fairly good demand from New England mills. As there are no more foreign auctions to create any prices disturbances until early in September, the feeling in local quarters is that operators wjji take advantage M the situation boost vras.

GHIHO WHEAT LEADS -DECLINE

Corn Follows With Slackened Demands From Liverpool Markets. / •**%. Bp United Financial CHICAGO, Aug. s.—ferain trading had an easier tone on the Chicago Board of Trade''today and prices we -e sharply lower. Wheat led the decline on heavy selling pressure. ; A tendency to narrow the difference between* September and December wheat was evident during the day. Weather reports from all sections of the wheat-growing States Indicated that the drought had been broken by recent rains and heavy yields were anticipated in most sections. Corn followed wheat on ttoe decline and prices fractionally lower all around. Closing of the Liverpool market today and Monday with a decrease in export business, was the chief cause of corn’s slump. Better reports from Argentina, where the crop is being moved from the interior for export without any delay, added to the bearish sentiment of the trading. Trading was light in the oats pit, prices declining fractionally, in sympathy with other grains. Scattered buying orders held prices practically steady for a time, but the weakness of the market and selling by some of the earlier buyers pressed prices off at the close. Provisions closed lower, in sympathy with sharp declines in hog prices at the Chicago stockyards. Receipts were the trading generally dull,
