Excerpt from World Wool Prospects, Vol. 80: December 31, 1934 Conditions in the domestic wool market have improved considerably in the last few months. Price Quotations on wool at Boston have shown no distinct change since the middle of October, but a larger proportion of the wool is now being sold at quoted prices than earlier in the season.

The large quantities of wool to be marketed in those countries during the first part of 1935, however, will probably prevent anyrmaterial increase in foreign prices during the next few months. Price changes in the domestic market are also expected to be small dur; ing the remainder of the 1934 - 35 selling season (to April 1, Manufacturing activity in domestic wool textile mills was greatly expanded in October and mill consumption for that month was greater than at any time since the first quarter of the year.
