TURPENTINE. The turpentine
market opened firm at 42c, with sales
of 81, and closed firm at 421ac, with
further sales of 95. The rise in the
market was the talk in commercial
circles during the day, being the more
so because of the prolonged lull in tur-
pentine trading up to short time ago.
The present buoyancy' seems due
largely to the sudden dawning upon
buyers of the probability that the next
crop will be a very moderate one in
view of the curtailment in the number
of boxes cut, and the further fact that
there is not apt to be any material
the present season. This being the
case a scramble for supplies is pending,
and buyers are getting into it already.
Futures for May-August delivery can
not be had for less than 40c, and there
are, few anxious sellers at this figure.
Present indications point almost posi-
lively to a higher market. Receipts
to-day 524, and the exports 679.
ROSINS .-Rosins also showed
strength to-day by a further rise, which
is shown in the quotations below.
Pales are in particularly good demand,
and find ready sale when obtainabfe.
The rOsin market derives it's present
strength from the same causes as does
spirits, and may be expected to move
in the same direction that market does.
To-day's receipts IL ,651, and the ex-
ports. S157 Prices as follows.

18th all the offerings in factors hands
..,or There is very little to be had
crescent. and this in view of the
,;rbt crop the coming season imparts
srsat strength to the market. All sorts
- predictions are being made as to the
.robable course of the price. but there
.aors to be no doubt that the top has
mi vet been reached.
THE question has been asked as to
,,bo is behind the present movement
,be law of supply and demand seems
., he the force that is carrying the
,rice inward at a phenomenal rate, and
which promises to keep the market in
firm position for some time to come.
The present seasons crop is about
gathered, few boxes have been cut for
the new crop, and the outlook is for
q moderate yield. On the other hand
the demand is of the best, being well
distributed between foreign and do
nestle buyers, so that it is pretty apt
to hold out well.
Where the price will, stop none know
for there is wide latitude for a material
advance. In some markets consumers
are able to dictate what the price shall
he by Withdrawing from the market
and using a substitute, which they can
do when forced to itSby an abnormal
rise in prices. Not so with turpentine.
No substitute had. yet, been found, and
consumers must have IL. If the supply
runs down to the, distress, point buyers
will not be able to withdraw in favor
of any other product ~ sl,
An interesting feature of the present
advance is the. good fortune of the Ma
tional Bank and Export Company
which bought 1000 barrels when the
price was down in the thirties, and
has it stored safely IN one of their
tanks at the Plant System terminals.
They are not sellers on the rise, evil
IDENTIFY having faith in further rise in
the price. 1t is said that if the market
keeps up its present pace for many
days. the company may be Athletic close
out it's holdings at a sufficient profit to
largely balance the cost of it's plant.
Resins also closed firm at the Board
of Trade and in strong demand. The
offerings of both spirits and rosin are
being snapped up with avidity. It's a
bull market throughout.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 21.-In the cotton
market this morning there was an ut
ter absence of the slightest develop
ments tending to broaden speculation
or move prices within more than very
narrow limits. The conflicting crop
views arising from small crop reports
and reports of bare stocks and in other
views of a movement of cotton to date
which may mean very full yield
keeps the trade in a state of suspense
from which relief is possible only by
means Of sharp falling off in re-
ceipts or bull interest taking hold and
advancing prices regardless Of the
movement. Prices were l to 2 points
lower this morning. Early returns in
dicated receipts. at the ports of $4,000.
against 35, 900 last year Liverpool was
a point lower and the movement in
interior towns was being maintained
at a point which discouraged small
crop ideas. Still there is time for the
movement to fall off, and the question
is. will it? A good deal of rubbish is
being circulated with view to show

ing that we may, after ALL have a
crop not far from the low figures of
the government. Predictions issued by
some of these firms as to the move
ment have not been verified, but this
does not prevent the frequent publ
cations going to show that a crop of
9,750,000 is quite probable. 1t was
stated some time ago that the move
ment after Jan. l would have to equal
the biggest movement on record after
that date to make a crop of 800, 900.
The recent movement since Jan. now
disposed of that theory. The fact re-
mains that receipts are disappointing
ly heavy, and at the same time the
market has ruled disappointingly
steady in the face of them. New Or
leans expects tomorrow IL 900 to 12-
900, against 1O,O64; Houston 1000 to s,
600, against 10000.

Hubbard Bros. q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 21.-All of the mar
kets remain in a, state of deadlock,
with the movement large and the trade
puzzled at its continuance in face of
the predicted falling off below last
season. European markets were a
shade lower while this market opened
lower and recovered on very small
transactions. Receipts at the interior
towns for the half week were the
largest on record for any corresponding
week, being 10000 bales, with the ship
ments $1,000 bales. The local senti-
ment remains bullish on the expected
falling off in receipts, but not willing
to buy more until it appears. No one
cares to go short in face of the predic-
