The Morning News Office,
Friday, Aug. 81.
The feature of the week was the sea-
sons record breaking price for turpen-
tine which came after the official clos
ing to-day, when spirits sold freely in
savannah at sac. The previous record
was 5311c. At the higher level there
was the best sort of demand, and the
entire of the offerings in factors hands
were taken.
The rise of the turpentine market in
+he face of efforts to depress it in some
quarters indicates to many the I'M
deriving strength of the market, based
upon the prospective supply and the
demand. The indications now point to
a crop from to 10 per cent. less than
that of last year, with consumption, so
far as known showing no decrease.
Turpentine seems to be wanted here
and abroad, and the takings so far this
season have been liberal. and at prices
ranging we'll above those of last year
Rosins have also held UP well. and
while fewer advances are shown sales
have nevertheless been made from time
to time above the official figures.
Spot cotton closed quiet, with prac-
tically no business doing. Little was
also doing in the fob market. The
futures markets closed some higher, as
shown elsewhere.
The wholesale markets closed steady
