RosIN.-We have no change of Importance to
report in this article for tee week ended to-day.
For the finer qualities there has been no demand,
and it has been impossible to effect sales unless
at decline in prices, which holders are not dis
posed to accede to at present. There has been q
fair enquiry for the lower grades, and sales were
easily made at about former quotations up to
within day or two, but the demand now appears
to have become somewhat checked, owing mainly
to the want of ship room, and buyers are not dis
posed to operate at present unless at decline =
there is, however, very small stock of all grades
on market and holders do not press sales. The
weeks sales are $3.50 bbIs., as follows Friday,
239 bbls at 81 127 for No. z, and SO 81 for No
