SPIRITS TURPENTINE-Since the close of our
last review the market has ruled steady, and
prices remain without change. During the early
part of the week the demand not SO brisk, but
under more favorable reports from the Northern
markets there has been better enquiry from
buyers for the past two days. and 40 cents Is freely
| offered sellers, however, are firm III holding al
| higher figures, and in consequence very little is
now doing i'll the way of sales. The receipts are
light for tho season, and only small stock
remains in receivers hands. The weeks sales are
only 1, 118 bhls, as follows:
Friday. 49,. 600 bbs. at....49 cents g gal

RosIN.-The market during the past week has
ruled exceedingly dull, and has been almost en-
tirely neglected for all grades. The unfavorable
tenor of the advices from the Northern markets
has had the effect to almest completely check
transactions, buyers being unwilling to purchase
unless at materially reduced figures, which sell
ers refuse to accept and are therefore holding on
| in anticipation of moro favorable reports The
transactions for the week comprise only 93f pDIs;
as follows Monday, 341 bbls. at So for NO and
Pale Tuesday, 500 do at 50 25 for mixed lots OF
strained No. 2, ard low No. l. The market closes
inactive and at present it is almost impossible to
give correct quotation of either grade Our fig-
ures in table must therefore be looked upon as
merely nominal. ;, -,
