Savannah, Nov. 15-After the immediate
demand for spirits turpentine was satisfied
to-day, 1t was demonstrated by the in
difference of buyers that the price was
higher than they cared to pay. At the
opening at the Board of Trade it was be-
lieved from early sales made on a basis
of 40 and 49ls cents, that the situation
was strong, and that the prospects for a
good days business were favorable When
this demand was satisfied, however, buy
ers apparently quit the market so far as
spirits We're concerned, when it was seen
that factors, were not willing TO, yield
lower price. There was underst TODD to be
considerable bidding at 40 cents, but sew
eral factors We're holding out for 1872 ana
as their views did not change, the close
was without anything doing. Resin was
firm at quotations, and fairly good bust
ness was done in all grades. 1t was cur

were commanding about cents above quo
tations, and that buyers were willingly
paying this price.
The cotton market advanced 1-16 cent,

There were light transactions, however

vices were to the effect that shorts were
uneasy on account of an estimate for a
crop of $4,000 bales, following as it did
last nights estimate of 100000 bales by
the government. AT the last the market
dropped under heavy realizing, and the
closing was weak at a net loss of and

fairly active, and without quotable change.
