RosIN-Since the close of our last review the
market for the finer qualities has been somewhat
neglected, and little or nothing has been done IN
the way of sales, owing manly to the fact that
ceivers are holding at figures above the views OF
buyers. The market for the lower grades ruled
quiet but steady up to Monday, when there was q
better demand, aud during that day and Tuesday
there was an active shipping enquiry, which
caused prices to advance 1920 cents on strain
ed on Wednesday, however, prices were some
what unsettled, but closed steady, with moder.
ate enquiry under more favorable reports from
abroad. The weeks transactions arc as follows:
