     'wool' is a time series of class '"ts"' 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 Jun 1984.
