RosIN-An extensive movement has been
noticed III the market for the past week. Strained
! under an active enquiry from buyers for foreign
shipment, light receipts and small stock has
continued TO move upward; No has been in a
! very good enquiry, and few small sa'es were
! made at good margin; No. and the finer quail
ties have been firm with daily transactions at
fair prices, but the receipts very small, and
sales Irregular with diflere Mt quotations tor
market. The receipts are larger than the pre-
vious week, but are light and arc mostly of the

CRUDE TUErENTINE.-An active enquiry
exhibited in the market for this article in
the early part OF the week, and distillcrs pur-
chased without reserve, lots, when offered at
fair prices. The closing quotations of last week
predominatcd up to Wednesday, when the &C
t eumulated supplies had been worked off, small
stock and light receipts, induced receivers to
hold at higher figures, which buyers yielded to,
and an advance of cents on hard and yellow
dip was the result Virgin has been quite
! active and has met sale when offered. The re-
! eeipts have been moderately fair, but the new
! crop comes in quite slowly, and as receipts Of
! size are only looked for from that source, no
! stock i'll excess of last week has accumulated,
! and receipts are barely adequate for the con-
sumptive demand, and on this account manu-
! featuring is not yet fully under weigh. To-day
! the market closes firm at So 95 for hard, 81 20
| for yellow dip, and SIS 65 for virgin. The re-
! ceipts and sales for the week as follows:
