The price of linsaed oil advanced sharply
East week owing to the high price Of the
seed as compared with that Of the oil For
some time II has been claimed that the
selling price OF the oil was entirely too
low as compared with the cost OF the seed
so that the advance last week, amounting
to cents per gallon, was not unexpected
Il is said now that the prices on the
finished and unfinished article are now
about on a parity.
AS a result of the advance in linseed oil
higher prices are apt to rule on mixed
pNIrts In the near future. White lead re-
mains the same IL was a week ago, and
the same Is true of turpentine.
The glass situation is attracting consid :.
erable attention, and another auvancs Of
about 10 per cent is predicted. In antioi-
pn tion of the high prices local iobbers are
cXperiencing an unusually heavy demand
for this season Of the year,
