NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-The price held It's
own to-day, and the situation remained in
teTesting TO those on the lookout for a
climbing market. The lull in the upward
tendency is not disappointing. The small
receipts are such as to warrant the belief
that prices will go higher, and 1t seems
now to be supply and demand regulating
the price. Another element of importance
to the situation is the scarcity of labor,
which has been previously mentioned. This
scarcity is due 10 the fact railroads are
building in Alabama. the phosphate in
dustries in Florida are employing many
laborers there. the saw mill interests re-
quire extra laborers at this time and the
cotton farmers are seeking labor for the
preparation of their lands for next years
crop. These conditions have interfered
considerably with the employment of la
Dor, and may be the explanation of the
small receipts now coming TO Savannah.
1t goes without saving that spirits are not
being held by producers. as the present
price Is believed by some TO be enough
to draw everything TO market. Transac-
tons to-day were 548 casks at 50Hc, and
ii was the current opinion nothing could
be had for less. Fifty cents was bid by
one buyer, but factors declined 10 sell for
less than quotations. The receipts were
1851 casks, and the exports 11,614 casks.

day. The tone was quiet, and there was
nothing to change the situation. Just how
long the market viii stand unchanged is
a matter of conjecture to cotton meG, but
the fact Liverpool buying may be begun

day were 205 bales. The receipts were 6,90f
bales, against 9,942 last year. Receipts this
