ROSIN.-The rosin market since
the date of our last, has continued to
exhibit frmness which has resulted
in several small advances on the lower
grades. Strained being the grade
which was principally sought after
during the W eek, our remarks will be
confined to it. We have noticed dur
ing the week that the market which
has been firm and advancing as men,
toned above, has been stimulated to a
great degree by the long interest here,
as the New York market has very slug
gishly responded to our advances, and
the tone which the market presents
here is anything but strong and the
least backing on the part of the long
| interest would result III Il general de-
cline on present values. This being
the situation of affairs, there has been
a general disposition on the part of
sellers to accept the figures offered by
buyers, and the week has been more
| active in the way of sales than any
| week for several past. The movement
| for the week has not been entirely con-
fined to spot transactions. Futures
have also been active, and several
transactions were effected for the COM
ing months. There continues to be
an increase of shipping arriving, and
the exports have reduced the stock in
yard. The receipts Of new rosin are
very scattering and only small lots
have been received. At the Exchange
this week there was a fair attendance
ot buyers and sellers, but there were
few transactions on the floor. In the
open market considerable activity was
displayed as mentioned above and the
sales for the week and the condition
of the market at different periods of
the week as reviewed was as follows:
At the close of our Thursdays report
of last week the market for strained
was quoted quiet at 50 90. Friday
We resume the connection of last week
and find that the market opens firm at
an advance of ten cents. The sales

market remains firm, but there are no
transactions in strained, owing to the
difference of views of buyers and sell

some request and 263 bbls changed
hands at the following quotations:
