     `wool' is a time series of class `"rts"' and contains
     309 observations.

     Each week that the market is open the Australian Wool
     Corporation set a floor price which determines their
     policy on intervention and is therefore a reflection of
     the overall price of wool for the week in question.
     Actual prices paid can vary considerably about the
     floor price.  The series here is the log of the ratio
     between the price for fine grade wool and the floor
     price, each market week between July 1976 and Junk
     1984.
