TURPENTINE IN A CORNER.
SCRAMBLE FOR SPIRITS SENDS UP
THE PRICE WITH A RUSH.

Six-Scvenths of the Stock I'm Savan-
nah Held by One Firm-An Adj
vance of ~ Cents IA Gallon In a
Day--The Antwerp Company in
Possession of the Market-Another
Tank steamer Due.
Yesterday was the liveliest day the spir-
its turpentine market has had since the
season opened, April /. From the clos
ing of the market Tuesday afternoon to
shutdown yesterday the price had advanc-
ed fully 1lac a gallon.
This unusual advance was brought about
by the scramble of the buyers to secure
the offerings and the determination Of
outbid all bidders.
The factors were jubilant and enjoyed
the sensational advance. There was con-
siderable excitement among them, how
ever, as some feared to hold their stocks
because there might be a perpendicular
drop to-day, and hesitated to SELL not
knowing how much higher the market
would 60 1t is presumed, however, that
the offerings were cleaned up last night
at 2619c a gallon. the highest bid of the
day.
The position of the market has devel-
oped a corner" with the Antwerp Naval
Stores Company in possession of the situ-
alton This organization holds, at pres
ent, nine-tenths of the entire stock in "a
vannah. Out of $1,000 casks in stock it
is said to hold about 10000 casks.
A few weeks ago the price of spirits
turpentine was down to "A cents a gallon.
At that time the heavy daily receipts
caused bearlsh feeling in the market
and an attempt was made by some buy
ers to carry the price still lower. There
was no urgent demand just then, but the
Antwerp Naval Stores Company took in
the situation and quietly bought the daily
offerings at a time when other buyers
were not in the market. The price for
about two weeks ranged around 24h cents
the Antwerp company taking the entire
offerings and increasing its holdings.
About a week ago there was a demand
for small lots to fill orders for domestic
shipment, and the buyers were compelled
to pay 2415 cents a gallon in order to Sc
cure their wants. Inquiry then began to
come from other exporters and at each ad-
vanced bid the Antwerp company raised
the price and secured the offerings.
1t has been currently reported, during
the past few days that all of the other
exporters were In need of spirits to make
deliveries, and in their anxiety to secure
stock were bidding up the price, only to
be disappointed by the Antwerp company
coming in and securing the offerings at a
higher price.
There is considerable speculation as to
when the advances will end. The Ant
werp company appears to be determined
to run the price up to a figure where it
will realize a handsome profit on its re-
cent purchases around "a cents.
A large tank steamer is expected to ar
rive here in a day or two, to load about
1900 casks of spirits turpentine to be
shipped to Europe by the Antwerp COM
pany. The steamer Iris arrived az Ant
werp last Sunday from Savannah. and
will Immediately return for another cargo.

WILL PLAY THEIR FIFTH GAME.
Savannah to Try the SandhiIlcrs
Again To-day.

Savannah TO Try the Sandhillcrs
Again To-day.
The fifth battle between the Savannah
and Augusta base ball teams will be
fought at C. L. A. park this afternoon.
The skirmish viii begin at 5 o'clock, and
for two hours or thereabouts, the contest
ing teams will put up the game of their
lives. Augusta won the last game from
Savannah, but won it in the first inning.
For eight innings the Savannah boys out
played the Sandhillers at every point in a
remarkable uphill game. There is every
thing in favor of the locals taking the
victory to-day and should they lose there
will be many sore crank in town to-
night.
Conniffe, the left hand twirler who won
the last game for Augusta, will be in the
box, and Jordan Sanford the University
of Georgia star catcher, will do the back
stop work for the inland boys. Charles
Mulherin will be on first bag for the first
time this season, and with VIII Mulherin
at second, Biers at short, and hanback,
holding third, the Augusta infield will be
very much stronger than in any of the
games played thus far.
Krenson is in winning trim, and will
have speed to burn. AT every point he has
the best of support. Goss is catching a
great game. Brown, Ed Brady, Ballan-
tyne and Harper make an infield any
pltCneE can depend upon ~ 0OunOT, BOD
Brady and Howard Hopkins will make the
strongest outfield the library has had yet.
The home team will be cheered by more
than 1000 rooters when the players trot
out for the first toss. More interest is be-
ing taken in this game than in any played
here this season, and the indications are
that the crowd will be larger. The Au-
gusta games In the early part of the sea-
son were characterized by a large at
tendance Of ladies, and the fair ones will
no doubt turn out in large numbers this
afternoon decked in the Savannah colors.
The Augusta excursionists will arrive
shortly before noon. The train is due at
Central depot at 11:40 O'clock, city time.
About 800 Sandhill enthusiasts are ex-
pected. Quite large party of ladies is
coming down to encourage the boys.
Arrangements Will be made at the park
to accommodate 1000 people. Several hun
dred chairs will be placed in the shade
out toward right field. The management
has experienced considerable trouble with
men and boys who line up inside the
rail and In front of the grand stand. This
practice not only mars the view from
the grand stand but in case of a block
ball." while the home team Is at bat Il
would call forth a righteous kick from
the visitors. The grand stand will ac-
commodate about 700 people, 200 or more
can find seats on the bleachers, and about
400 chairs will be on the ground for the
overflow. The police will stop the crowd
ing inside the rail.
Umpire Murray will call the game at
o'clock. This Is half an hour later than
usual Ladies will be admitted to the
park free. The teams will line up as fol-
