RosIN.-The market for all grades ruled with
considerable tirmness in the early part of the
week just ended, and shade advance was OBJ
tanned on previous quotations for the lower quail
ties For the past day or two, however, there has
been manifest rather dull feeling among buyers,
| occasioned mainly from the want of shipping IA
cities, which has had the effect to somewhat
check transactions, and prices have declined at
least rs cents on medium and low grades. For

at our highest figures. We quote sales for the
