Ros1N-In this article very little has been done
in the way of sales during the week just ended.
For strained there has been a brisk enquiry for
the past few days, and the price is shade high
er want of stock and disposition on the part

has had the effect to check transactions. For all
other grades the market has ruled unusually
quiet and dull, and it is impossible to make sales
unless at lower figures, which holders at present
are unwilling to accept. Receipts are light, and
there is only moderate stock offering, the bulk
Of which is of the medium grades. Sales for the
week as follows: Friday, Oil bbs. at 50 for low
