Ros1N-For the week Just closed the market
generally has ruled without change 80 far as re-
CARDS prices. The demand for all grades has
been somewhat limited, owing in a great mea-
sure to the scarcity of ship room, and very few
transactions have taken place. For day or two
past the market has ruled with more irmness
for the lower grades, with better demand for
export while fine qualities rule rather dull. Re-
cepts are somewhat better than previous week,
and the stock is accommodating: We quote sales
as follows: Saturday. 100 bbls. at 81 60 for
strained; Monday, 3O5 bbls. at 81 Is for NO. q,
