ROSIN-There has been more ami
nation in rosin this week than for
some months past, and this good feel
ing has been accompanied also with
regular advances of prices. In the
earliest stage of the market the dull
feeling which retarded prices for
SO long a time was manifested in every
degree and it was difficult that former
rates could be obtained, and if not for
the persistent firm feeling of holders
there undoubtedly would have been a
decline on former prices, but subse-
quently there was a reaction of feeling
and since there has been a steady in
crease of prices. At the Exchange"
there was an unusual large attendance
OF buyers, and there was considerable
transactions, both in "spot and in
futures" there being manifested a
firmness unusual On Friday, the
first day of the week, the market
opened quiet and steady, and there
was little feeling manifested, but sub
sequently, under moro favorable cable
advices and kilograms from Northern
markets, there was n better feeling
day embraced 5000 bbls, as follows ::
$500 bbls spot at s. 80, 500 do do at
81 57!, 500 do do at s. 60, and 500
bbls, sellers option, after the 9Th inst,
at 50 60. Saturday the market
opened quiet. Sellers We're demand
ing advanced rates, Will buyers were
not disposed to operate unless at
former figures, which were offs offered
freely without sellers to anE large
amount. The transactions of the day
were confined to 1880 hhls Strained,
buyers option, September. at 50 60.
Also $50 bbls No. at s. 70 p Dbl.
Monday the market was steady. Sell
lers were still demanding advanced
rates, which buyers refused to grant,
and consequently there were no TRAN
sactions of Strained. There were
sales, however, of 236 bbls No. at
50 60. Tuesday the market was
steady. The offerings of Strained
were light and buyers were not SC
eager to effect sales. Sellers observing
this reaction of feeling were willing to
accept former prices, which buyers
were 10th to give, and the sales were
$50 bbls Strained at 81 524 y Dbl
There was also some demand for me
dunn and finer grades, and che sales

were at slight advance on previous
| quotations. The amount changed
hands were as follows: $50 bbls No. 2
at - 60, 232 do No. at So rs. and
1914 do Pale at 81. Wednesday the
market opened frmer, and buyers
were Offering to purchase at former
prices, but sellers were persistent in
demanding advanced rates, which
buyers, to effect sales, were compelled
to pay, and the market for Strained
advanced IL! cents. The sales re-
ported were LOO bbls Strained at
81 60, 1000 do good Strained at 50 IS,
and 1876 do Pale S4@S4 % IF Dbl.
To day CThusday) at the close of cur
writing, the market is very active and
upwards of 1000 bbls have changed
hands at figures ranging from So 574
to So 65 for Strained. The market
closes firm at the latter prices.
No. by the transactions of the
week reported above, it will be seen
that there has been q fair movement of
this grade, and the figures also repre-
sent an advance on former quotations.
No. Has taken an active part,
also, i'll the trade of the week. For
this grade there is no visible improve
ment of prices, but of enquiry there
is more prevailing, and fair amount
of trade is doing.
Pales-Have advanced from % to so
cents. There was some movement
and the market is we'll supplied to
meet the demand.
The receipts for the week, IA, 600
bbls, against 26, O54 bbls for last week,
show falling off of II, 434 bbls. The
exports for the week. 1884 bbls,
against Is, 537 bbls for last week, show
q decrease of 1880 bbls. The stock

CRUDE TURPENTINE- s. M
weeks past the Crude Turpentine mar
ket has been in what might be called
'cross fire." On ons side we have
had the "bnlls," and on the other the
clears" Between the two the market
has been kept in an unsettled state,
and correct report has been almost
impossible to obtain. At the present
writing there is more settled feeling
pervading, and we have to record an
advance of 10 cents on yellow dip and
virgin. How long we shall be able to
give correct reports is more than we
can now state. In this unsettled con-
dition there is continual huctuation
of prices, and when we fall into the
hands of either the ''bears" or the
"bulls," we shall give their reports. -
We hear complaints of the unreliable
ness of our quotations on the
Crune market, and in order to set our
selves right in the minds of our country
friends, we deem it but Justice to our
selves to make this known. The mar
ket may be written quie5 and unsettled
at So for hard, and $3 40 for yellow
dip and virgin. The receipts for the
week 4.136 bbls. against 1887 bbls.
for last week, shows an increase of
,299 bbls. The exports for the week
$50 bbls. against 379 bbls. for last
week show small decrease. The
stock in market BIB bbls. against
900 bbls for last week shows an in
| crease of 2, 773 bbls. The receipts and
sales for the week were as follows

become stiff and immovable at the will

to note and the market may still be
written very firm. With very light re-
ceipts and fair export movement, the
stock is gradually reducing and is now
only a nominal fraction comparatively.
The present high rates, it is thought,
will continue until the new crop ar
rives, as it is generally conceded that
most of the old crop has been brought

is held for export. We quote the mar

A word About kellogg.

Mr. Kellogg, during the few months in which
he has been maintained in the GubernatorIai
office of this State, has Succeeded ut least i'll
one thing-he has fulfilled the very worst
predictions ever uade of him by his most bit
ter opponents.
They alleged that he was dishonest, and
that chlrge, If il has not been proved,
has been rendered plausible by the uudenled
allegations of his numerous interests i'll the
Backbone Railroad-interests which he could
not have acquired honestly ly-and by the noto-
rious fact that he bought his way to the
United States Senate.
1t WAS claimed that he was unreliable. His
low cunning and plausibility have become ID
by-word. He has deceived his most intimate
friends, and his name to-day is a synonym Tor
discrimination. The NEST shameful instances
of his disregard of the very pEainest and most
binding Obligations that obtain amuDs gentle
men, are related by men OF his OWN party anu
by those citizens w no have had the misfortune
to lie thrown with him.
it was claimed that he would be run by a
ring OF tlisreputable people. He is surrounded
anu permits himself to be Influenced By the
worst and most unprineipled political rene
gades that ever swayed the destlnies OF a State.
Distrusted by those who helped to place him
in office, shnuned by the decent people i'll the
city and State who were disposed TO give him
trial and tosupport him ii he gave eyldeHce
of disposition to bring the State out of the
chaos into which she has been thrown, he Is
incapable now OF accomplishing any thlng but
evil, even for the party that placed him in
power.
There never was man SO utterly bankrupt
before, so entirely unequal to the grave res
possibilities that attach to his office and We're
it not for the hope that Congress will order d
new election for Louisiana, the prospect
would be more than gloomy.
Anew election itself only choice Of evils,
as it will necessarily greatly interfere with the
agricultural interests, and generally unlinge
no other solution of the difficulty. eontinll-
ance of Kellogg rule means not only tempo
rary depression, but, to thousands of our eIti-
zens, aud the credit of the State, absolute ruin.

The WEATHER AND CRors.-There seems to
be no doubt that the caterpillars have appear
ed in quite number of cotton fields in this
Parish. True, they are not very numerous yet !;
hut very soon-before one month perhaps
they will begin in earnest their dreadful raw
ages. The most forward bolls have only just
begun to mature, aud eotton-picking will
scarcely commence before the middle of Sep
tember, by which time the young bolls will
probably be destroyed by their relentless and
Unsuitable enemy.
The damage which must ensue can hardly
be estimated at present, but we can safely
place it at oue-thrd or one-half of the crop.
The ineessant rains which we have had for
the last eighteen days have no doubt contrib
uted largely to the development of the worms,
and have, besides, caused the loss of great
portion of the fodder But the loss of this
excellent feed can in manner be compensated
for by full harvest OF hay, which grows every
