SPIRITS TURPENTINE-Rued without change
during the earlier part of the week. and up 10
the close of Mondays business the sales were at
80 cents. Since then, however, there has been
considerable dullnRss manifest under the un-
favorable adyices from abroad, and no sales have
been reported buyers are offering 38 cents, while
factors are holding at 139 cents. The receipts
by river are cut off at present by the low stage
of the water courses, and the arrivals are there
fore confined to parcels by railroad there is
however, a fair stock on market unsold. The
sales are as follows:

Ros1N-For this article the market generally
has ruled without change during the week 30 far
as regards prices. There has been moderate
enquiry for the lower and finer grades, but
want of stock has prevented transactions-nearly

which are unsaleable unless at reduced figures
The low stage of the wat er courses has almost
entirely stopped receipts by river, and the arri-
walls by rail are rather light for the season. At

to operate to any extent in consequence Of the
scarcity of ship room. We quote sales as follows
