ROSIN-The general situation ofthe
! Resin market this week ms been moi
unlike that of last week. Aside from
| the general antagonisIn which existed
| then between the ''bulls and bears ,
and which still exists to q certain e1-
! tent, the market has simmered down
! to an easy position and the ''bulis" are
! quietly working the cords to suit their
! own convenience by not allowing the
| market to go down. or desiring to nd
vance the same at the present time.
This has been the state of affairs dur
ing the week, ard at the close we see
no change or intention on the part OF
buyers hut to continue the market as
it now stands. The decline OF the re-
ceipts of the crude material has cut
short considerably the manufacturing
interests. and the stock is kept well
balanced by the exports. which both
coastwise and foreign have been fair.
The supply of tonnage is on the de-
crease and the arrivals are few. The
TRANSACTION in strained, both spot and
future during the week, have been
large. For future delivery the market
for early June was established at de-
cline Of 10 cents on the present spot
quotations. Sales for the present
month, however, are fully up to the
quotations Of spot rosin. AZ the Ex-
change this week there has been a fair
attendance with some sales on the floor,
but the bulk of transactions were in
the open market. These as far as
reported and the condition of the mar
ket at different periods of the week as
reviewed, were as follows: At the close
of last report the market was quoted as
fairly under the influence of the
''bulls," and strong at 81 25. Friday,
the first day this week, the movement
was kept up and the market was active
at So 25 for strained, buyers taking all
offered at the above quotations. The
sales were 2,675 bbls strained at 50 25,
and 100 bbls No. 2 at s. % T. Dbl.
