ceipts continuing small. On Thursday par
eel of 500 bbls was sold at So.25 per bbl cash,
and two parcels of $50 bbls. (all new at S5, ST.
Some holders, however, are unwilling to operate
at these rates, and ask S5.3733 and $3.50 per
bbl.; but no sales appear to be made at the last
named prices, except in small lots for city con-
sumption. The wagon price seems to have
been pretty steady at S5.25 per bb although "a
fraction more is occasionally paid.
Chy NILS Hom-The transactions of the
week, as far as they have come to our knowledge,
embrace about 5000 bbls. of extra quality, at IS
per bbl on time with interest added. Some par
cells of standard quality have been taken at 81, IS
and two or three parcels at "a 81 per Dbl. The
sales here mentioned are all of new -four, the
old stock having been previously exhausted
