WILMINGTON MARKETS,

WEEK ENDING THURSDAY,
October 81, IS13.

COTTON-There has been an active bust
ness doing in this staple during the past week.
Shippers and spectators, each, purchasing
every bale offered at the current quotations,
and the market being buoyant In tone and AL =
Vancing in tendency. From Friday and up 10
Wednesday evening the ruling prices were Is
cents for low midiling and 1a. to 1917 cents
for middling, but Wednesday there were large
sales P. N. T., which were supposed to be about
- Of q cent advance. During the week some
few purchases were made for future delivery
but the number of bales were OF no importance
The article is arriving quite rapidly, but there
is a heavy decline on the large influx repoI ted
in our last The exports coastwise, as we'll as
foreign, will amount to about L 500 to 1000
bales, while our Railroads carry through daily
from Southern ports amounts that will equal
our weekly exports. The great tide OF the
staple is flowing uorthward, but the reported
short crop must stop the flow as suddenly as it
began. The stock in market is about the same
as reported last week.

CRUDE TURPENTINE.-The market con-
tinues regular and uniform, having experienced
no molestation of quotation during the week.
Dstillers have, however, shown no anxious feel
ing to effect purchases, and prices have been
dragging, and have with difficulty besn sus-
tanned. The receipts continue to decrease rap
idly, and for the want of crude material quite
number of our manufactures have ceased ope-
rations. The export demand coastwise Is very
large, and the market is kept bouyant by the
demands existing from this source. The receipts
for the week were SOP bbls against 1,511 bbls
for last week, showing falling off of 7o9 bbls -
Tae exports for the week were $50 bbls against
339 bbls for last week, are also decrease of 1871
bbls The stock in market is but a mere frac-
ton. To-day the market closes steady at So %
for hard, and So for yellow dip and virgin. Re
ceipts and sales for the week were as the follow
ing table will show:
