ROSIN-The general condition OF
the Rosin market during the week has
been unsettled and it is difficult to
write an impartial statement of its de-
tails. The facts are these. There
were certain conditions only, upon
which buyers would purchase. The
exactions required by them were as fol-
lows: ALI Strained, sampled, none
Below G with fair proportion of d.
As the bulk of the stock in market
would not reach this standard there
| were considerable reflections and much
| complaint was made against buy
ers in asking these requirements which
heretofore were moi known in the trade.
The above condition of affairs were so
annoying to sellers, that all their
efforts were used to break the
market or establish a price at
which their offerings would be deliv-
cradle, and to effect this, the market
for strained was put down from 50 %
to So Is per Dbl. AT these figures
there were large sales. Buyers on the
other hand labored hard to avert this
action and would occasionally purchase
at 50 90 in order to sustain If possible
the market. Futures which were ac-
tive last week for the present month
and July delivery, have received very
little attention this week. The supply
of ship room has increased, but the
charters were principally for spirits
turpentine shipments. The receipts
have been very heavy for the week,
averaging fully 2, 500 bbls per day by
rail and from 800 to 500 bbls by city
manufacture. Tue exports for the
week did not reach the receipts and
there was an increase of stock. At
the Exchange this week there was
fair attendance daily and large
amount of transactions were made.
These as far as reported and the con-
dition of the market at different per
iods of the week as Reviewed was as
follows: Friday the first day of our
review, strained opened quiet and I'M
settled, with the following sales: 1000
bbls strained, nothing below G all
