| COTTOE.-There has been a decid
ed check tn s week in the upward pro
gress in prices, and we note a SHARP
reaction in the market. The cause O
the upward movement previously
mentioned was due mainly to the in
tary circles which has enabled holder:
cotton on sale, thus reducing offerings
very considerably, at period wher

more active. 1t is not likely, however

ROSIN-A demand has continued
for the lower grades of rosin, and a
considerable business has been tran
sacted during the week. From various
causes business has received some
check this week, the first and most
lower prices in New York, while there
was also slight shrinkage in foreign
markets ; but, in spite of these re-
tardine features, there has been as
large demand iii this market as the
limited supply in first hands would
allow, and we have had steady, if
not buoyant, market, with some ad-
van'"s on previous quotations. The
diplomatic troubles with Spain h
served somewhat to disslpate the effects
Of the panic on the market, which has
caused a large amount of capital to be
circulated, and with considerable ease
in monetary affairs, this drawback is
regarded as having but little influence
on prices, and taking this as a p. in
upon which TO form our speculations,
we do not hesitate to express our be.
