Wilmington Market-Wcekly Review.
WILMINGTON, January 1S.
TURPESTINE.-There has been steady and ac
tive demand for this article during The entire Rs

most impossible to meet the distiller's wants.

had the effect to operate on prices, and tne mar;

SPIRITS sTURPEHTINs.-Since our last report this
article has been in active demand, and all In nrst
hands that could be reached has been taken oy
buyers for shipment. The receipts have been
small, while The shipments are large, and the
stock here Is lighter than has been known for
long time On Friday the market opened AT the
closing figure Of last week, and buyers would VII
lIngly have given 65c but sellers were asking
higher figures, and in conseque. the sales OF the
day were confined to one small lot which sold at
CSC. On Saturday the same feeling was manllesf,
and no transactions were made during the day.
On Monday the market opened little weaker, but
it became firm again, and fridays figure was
fully maintained. Tuesday 1t opened at the clos.
ing figure OF the previous day, and small lot
was taken at same figures. At noon the adVlces
from New York VIZ re received, which were favor
able, an advance OF 1c was obtained, and to-day
ri hursday) 1t again advanced Nc. The market
has ruled active during the entire week, and all
offering has been taken, market closing 1rm at
68Hc.
RosrN.-We have mo- new feature to present in
the market for this article during the week just
passed. For the finer qualities there has been no
demand worthy OF report and the transactions
have been confined to q few small lots. The low.
er grades have been in moderate request at quo.
tations given In our last but they have been gen.
orally held az figures above the views OF buyers,
and In consequence the sales have been light. For
the last three or four days the market has been
unusually quiet, with no transactions, and we
hardly know how to state the condition OF the
market. The receipts have been unusually Sma |,
while the exports to both foreign and coastwise
ports have been very heavy. The stock here is
light the bulk OF which Is In shippers hands, and
Is not offering sale.
TAR-Has been brought to market very slowly
since our last, and the arrivals have been conhn-
ed to small lots. There Is good remand exist.
