Ros1N.-For this article the market for the
week has ruled about the same noted at the
close of our last review. For the finer grades
there has been a brisk enquiry, and parcels have
found ready sale when offered on market at quo
tations given below; owing, however to want OF
stock, the TRANSACTIONS have been meagre. The
lower grades have been in some enquiry, but the
bulk OF the stock being in second hands and held
above the views of buyers, together with the con
tinued scarcity ofship room, has had the effect
to somewhat check operations in strained and
No. 2. The weeks sales are 2,2O2 bbls. as fol-
lows: Friday. sos bbls at 81 70 for strained. and
"a Is for extra No. 2; Saturday, 100 bbs. at 81 70
for strained and 81 SO for Pale; Monday, 321 bbls
at 81 70 for mixed lots of strained and No. 2,
