RosIN-Since the close of our review on Thurs.
day last the rket for this article has generally
raled quiet and inactive, and prices OF all grades
are shade lower, Owing in great measure tc
the want Of ship room, buyers at present are not
disposed to operate unless at lower figures,
which factors refuse to accept, and we therefore
quote the market as closing dull at figures given
below. Receipts by river and rail are only mod
crate. and there is only small stock in first
hands. which is generally held above the views
Of buyers. We quote sales as follows Friday,
651 bbls. at 81 473@$1 SO for strained So. s. l29

this article during the week, but owing to the
small stock and meagre receipts there has been
very little done in the way of sales The better
grades are in request. while the lower are rather
dull. Recent adviceS are moro favorable, and
present indications are that the price will advance
a shade. We quote small sales az Is ceDts for
