NAVAL STORES.

Friday, June l.
SPIRITS TURPENTINE-A downward
tendency has been established, and under
its effect the market has lost consider
ably with the prospects of losing more
in the next few days The explanation
seems to be heavy offerings in the face of
q light demand. Buyers are waiting for
developments, and what they look for is
lower prices before they enter the mar
ket The opening to-day was firm at 4Sc
with sales of 290 at this price, and closed
steady at 4712c, with further sales of $50.
The movement during the week was
good. The receipts were 1865 against
1884 last year, and the exports 1854
against 1898 last year The exports were
to New York. $50; to Boston, 1886; TO the
interior, 800: to Bristol, 2,75O; to London,
1909. and to Antwerp, 6,100 The receipts
so far this sea son have been 1922, and
the exports 55,029, leaving the stock to-
day 10 ,203.
ROSINS-Unul Wednesday the rosin
market remained firm and unchanged
when at the closing the market went Off
cents on F and below. On this basis
the market was firm, and remained so
the balance of the week. Resins are still
comparatively high. 1t may be noted that
d and below is now $110 against SOC last
year and water white $40, against 81 20
last year. Buyers see the room for de-
clines and are Indifferent about jumping
in for more than their immediate needs,
pending developments in the turn the mar
ket takes.
The movement of rosin for the week
shows receipts here of 2215l barrels
against 23943 last year, and exports of
1883. against II, l01 last year. OF the ex>
ports 2,ll4 went to New York; GIL to Phil
adelphia, 1858 TO Baltimore, 725 to Boston.
9s6 70 the interior, 70l to Bristol, and 5SS

so far this season have been 271, 456, and
the exports 15675S. leaving the stock to-
day 11469S barrels.
During their visit here on their journey
over the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. the
officials of that company, and many of the
larger capitalists back of it, visited the
extensive naval stores yards on Hutchin-
sons Island, which have been in use a
week or more. The company has taken
hold of every advantage to facilitate load
Ing on the island, and the chances are
favorable for the satisfactory handling of
the large amount of naval stores ii is sure
