NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-While receipts have
been small during the past week, II has
been long while since the market show
ed the same strength, and business was
done on a more profitable basis to all con-
cerned. Owing TO the fact that receipts
were small, transactions were cut down.
Had IL not been for this drawback, 1t is
believed. the demand would have absorb
ed an enormous amount of turpentine.
The advance for the week was " cent,
the market closing on last Friday at 53h
cents, and this Friday " cent higher An
inclination is apparent on the part of
consumers to barely supply their imme-
diate demands. hoping In this way to save
by not laying in extra stock before the
new crop begins to arrive, by which time
they believe prices Will ease. Consumer RS
have hardly accustomed themselves to
paying present price for turpentine, which
is so much greater than the price paid
for It last year. However the demand
from buyers who are stinting themselves
is enough TO consume many times what
the market can supply. The receipts the

ports 5000 casks The receipts to-day
were 307 casks, sales ga casks, and the

Morning News Office, Feb. 9.-The vol
ume of business during the past week
breaks the record for any one week for
many years past. The clearing house
figures make the remarkable showing of
an increase, of 81, $50. 161. "a in the clearings
for the week, the total being s., 397, 1893. 49,
against 81, 407 ,O3S.16 for the same week OF
1899. As previously stated, these show
ings are due to the higher prices of all
products over last year, and an increase
in the movement of cotton induced by an
advance in all grades.
1t is generally believed that most of the
cotton in this section mas been disposed
of, and that the receipts from now on
will be the cotton which comes from I'M
counted towns. Just what amount this
will be is not known but factors and
brokers'. evidently believe the larger part
of the crop has changed hands, and act
ing on this they are casting about for
other fields and pastures new. Connec-
tons are being made with many districts
of the Gulf states While it is believed
most of the crop is sold, the daily re-
ceipts continue large, showing an increase
of 5000 and 5000 some days above the
same day last year. So far this season
the receipts have been S1SS7S bales, against
954, 637 for the same period last year Ad-
vances were scored nearly every day in
the week, the. closing to-day being firm,
