ROsIN-In the market for this article we have
to report decidedly dull market since the close
of our last review. In the early part of the weel
there was some enquiry from buyers, and there
were moderate transactions, but for the past two
or three days the market has ruled inactive under
adverse news from abroad, which fact, together
with the scarcity of shipping facilities has caused
buyers generally to keep out of market. The low
or grades are without important change as regards
prices but the finer qualities have materially de
clined. The sales Of the week are 2,519 bbls. at
