very little disposition was manifested,

there was a steadier feeling and sales

eral position of the market is much the
same as reported last week. The in
fuences operating upon it being just
the same as mentioned in our last. The
decline of Spirits Turpentine and
Rosin has, of course, had the effect to
weaken the market, but in consequence
of the extreme light receipts it has
been subjected to few fluctuations.
Up to Wednesday morning, nothing
TRANSFERRED to interrupt the regularity
of prices, but during the day lot of
81 bbls. new Virgin, was placed on
market and sold at decline of %
cents. Since then and up to the close
of our writing, nothing further has de-
veloped and the market closes quiet
and steady at 81 for Hard, s. % for
Yellow Dip and So 25for Virgin. The
fires mentioned in our last have been
subdued by the lato rains, but the
manufacturers have been unable to ac-
complish much Roadway with their
dipping on account of the heavy rains
and the slow running of the crude.
The receipts for the week were 69S
bbls. against 632 bbls. for last week.
showing an increase of only &c bbls.
The exports are of no Importance and
the stock on market is exceedingly
small and entirely insufficient to meet

SPIRITS TURPENTINE--S Since
our last report the speculative move
ment in this article has received de-
cided check, and the market which
during the most of last week and the
previous week was very active and
buOyant has this week been character
lied by unusual dullness and q general
break in prices. At the close of our
last report we left the market steady
at 45l cents The first day of the
present week the feelings of holders
became weak, and as consequence
sales were made at decline of cent.
Saturday the market exhibited slight
Improvement in tone, but sellers were
unable to obtain higher figures than
those of the previous days. Monday
there was considerable activity shown
and sales of upwards 800 casks were
made at Saturdays prices, As cents.
Tuesday, with unfavorahle advices,
there was general break in the mar
ket and decline Of l cent was accept
ed, the market closing dull at A cents.
Wednesday buyers were not offering
to pun chase unless at lower figures,
who'll sellers, to effect sales, were OBJ
iged to concede to and further de-
cline of l cent was accepted. At the
close of our writing to-day the market,
however, shows some indications of
reviving animation and a decided i'm
provement in the tone is observable.
The receipts for the week, 1896 casks
against 1857 casks for last week,
shows decline of 261 casks. The eS-
ports have, however, been light and
the stock bears slight increase. The

TORNADO.
Portions OF Column bus County swept
by n TOrnada-EEOtlsesO vertUn-
cd and blown to pieces
Fence. swept a,xay-Tree>
torn up by the roots &C.

From gentleman recently returned
from Columbus county, we learn that
very disastroust tornado swept through
the lower portion of the county last
Friday. Its course was from south
west to northeast, and it came into the
county from South Carolina, although
we have not heard of any damages
done by it there. In Columbus, build
ings were overturned and demolished,
fences swept away and large trees torn
up by the roots. Such was the fury OF
of the wind that, in several Instances,
heavy boards were taken up and car
RED fully mile from the buildings
from which they were torn. Its track
was about 200 yards broad, and the
destruction it left behind was complete.
The house of Mr.. NJ. Sarvis was
completely overthrown and his wife,
with an infant onlytwo days old, made a
most miraculous escape. The house was
literally torn from over her head and
she was left exposed to all of the fury
of the storm. The floor was moved
several feet, and thence over the spot
where the fireplace once was, and the
tender infant was forced from its place
by its mother and thrown between the
rafters of the floor. At last accounts
Mrs. Sarvis was doing well, but it was
thought that the child would hardly
recover.
Mr.. Luke Fowler's place was visited,
and every building on the premises
swept away. Mr.. Fowler was himself
at work in his field at the time, and
was blown down and severely injured.
He was carried to the nearest house
left stanflihg and a physician called in
