| ROsIN.-During the early part of the week just
closed there some dllllnes3 in the market for
this article, and prices up to Monday bad declined
| somewhat. Since that day, however, there has
| been better demand from buyers, caused mainly
by the very low rates OF freight at present, and
the decline above noted has been reganed especial
for the lower grades for which the market closes
quite firm at our highest quotations. There is
also fair enquiry for the finer grades, which are
scarce while medium qualities are dull and rather
