WILMINGTON MARKETS,
FOR THE
WEEK ENDING THURSDAY,
AnrfI 4 E2@3
April 4, L372.

CRUDE TURPENTINE-The declining tenden-
cy exhibited in Resins and the extreme quiet
of Spirits Turpentine during the past week,
has had similar effect on this article, and to
day s quotations show decline since the close
of our last review of 35 cents ON hard, and 81 10
on yellow dip and virgin. In the earlier part OF
the week the market owing to light receipts,
and the delay of the new crop, exhibited firm
disposition, and prices held up. For the last few
days, however, the market has given way and
/ as declined rapidly, and to-day at the close of
our report the market shows no improved feel
ing and still further decline is looked for
The receipts have fallen off slowly week after
week, until they have nearly or quite ceased to
be of any importance, and for the past week
have been 50 light that city distilers have
quit operations, and the manufacture of all
grades of Naval Stores has been stopped for the
| want of crude material. The new crop has not
yet made its appearance in lots of any magni-
tude, the cold weather and late Spring delaying
the usual supply for this season of the year.
The exports for the month of March are 900
bbls. against CTS bbls. for March, 1871, showing
an incrcas2 of 80 bbls The market closes quiet
at 81 - for IaIt and II for yellow dip and viz
gin The receipts and sales for the week are as

SPIRITS TURPENTINE-The market for Spi-
! rits Turpentine up to Monday evening late ex-
/ hibited no change of last weeks figures. With
! out any transactions the market ruled strong
among holders, and buyers were afraid to hand
lie at the high rates. Tuesday the advioes from
! Northern markets depressed our market and
! sellers as general thing, though not willing to
/ submit to decline, gave way, and the market
declined cents. Wednesday the advices being
! still more unfavOrablc, sellers became weak in
| their views and sold much Of their stock at a
decline of cents. To-day the kilograms from
! New York report the shipping of the Clos car
90 to q foreign market, accompanied with sew
I cral orders for purchasers, which has had de-
. cided good effect on our market, and at the
time of closing our report we note an advance
! offs cents, with a strong feeling, and the mar
kct looking to better prices. The receipts have
been very small, and with shipments the stock
! in market has fallen Off considerably. Being
now about 300 bbls. with a cargo OF l 200 bbls
loading foreign, and Northern orders for con-
| siderable of the remaining stock. With none c
| ing manufactured TO make any present increase
we look for very small stock i'll a few more
| weeks. The exports for the month Of March
1872 were 5,6l1 bbls. against 1872 bbls. for the
same month of 1871, showing an increase of SIS
bbs. The following table contains the weeks
