SPIRITS TURPENTINE-The market for this ar
tice ruled quite firm during the early part OF the
week, and Saturday advance of one cent
was obtained sales being effected at ~ cents.
Since then, however. only one small sale has
been repOrted-the interruption in the telegraph
wires and q stringency in the money market,
having had the effect to keep buyers from OPP
Grating. At the close OF our enquiries to-day it
is impossible to give a correct quOtation-buyers
not disposed to purchase unless at a reduced
figure, which factors refuse to accept. Receipts
for the week meagre, and there is very little
stock remaining in first hands. We quote sales
as follows:
Friday, ..... .275 casks at Al cents per gallon.

RosIN.-We have nothing to report in this
article for the week ended to-day. Ihe market
generally has ruled quiet for all grades, and the
sales effected have been at about former quota
tions. There is some demand for strained, and
81 SO is offered, but the stock in factors hands
is he Id higher. For other qualities there is no
demand worthy Of mention in fact, the scar
city of ship room has the effect to check trans
actions in all grades. The following are all the
sales we can hear Of Friday, 800 bbls. at 81 SO
for strained. 81 95 for low No. /, and 81 for
Pale Saturday, 1913 bbls. at 81 so for strained,

CoTToN-In this article VIC have very little to
! report in the way of sales daring the week. The
! interruption IN the telegraph wires caused buy

last adVices from abroad are rather unfaYorable:
consequently the market closes rather quiet.

receipts small. The sales follows: bales
