Spirits Turpentine-The spirits turpen-
tine market for the past week was rather
quiet. The offerings were light and the
demand was slow. There was a decline
of Ac in the middle of the week, and
after that the offerings were taken. The
market appears to be a waiting one, as
buyers and sellers are making calcula-
tions as TO the result of the coming crop.
II all depends on the movement of the
crop, when the season opens, as to future
prices.
Rosin-The old crop pale grades were
brought up to the price of the new crop
during the week. That was the main
feature. There were a few changes In ;he
medium grades. but the general condi-
ton of the trade was slightly changed.
The quotations to-day were bulletined

fies that there is a weakness in the mar
ket.

to-day the following quotations were bull
leuned at the Board Of Trade:
