NAVAL STORES.



TURPENTINE-Th turpentine mar
ket opened firm at 56c sales, 644 casks,
and closed firm and unchanged, sales,
337 casks. The demand was fairly
good, though there is still an apparent
backwardness about taking hold of the
market. The interest now centers on
the attitude of the National Tank and
Export Company, who say they wilt
take all the balance of this crop they
can get at prices below SEC. Rumor
has it that sales have been made at
55%c, though not in sufficient lots to
make the market Whether the policy
of buying below SEC, on private terms
to evade the tank company will be
adopted remains to be seen. There is
said to be considerable offerings in
factors hands, and if the price drops
to a point that will bring in the tank
company and absorb these offerings,
the situation would be materially
changed. AS it is, the holdings do not
depress the market in view of the
ready buyer factors have in the tank
company Commenting on the situa-
ton to-day one man said: 1--WE can
not only buy turpentine, but our char
ter allows us to export it. Enough
said" Receipts, 1,147 casks; exports,
300 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm. no sales, and closed dull and I'M
changed, no sales. The demand was
light. There was no feature of special
interest. Receipts, 2,877 barrels, and
the exports 1850 barrels. Prices as

New York, Nov. 19.-The market
continues to surprise every body and
the changes which have taken place
in two days amount to about as much
as the huctuation of entire season of
1898 An advance of a cent a pound
was regarded as a great thing in 1897
and yet in two days the market has
gone from 10.90c to IL 80 or 40 points
from IL sc to IL .02c or 30 points and
back to IL. SOC or a total of 100 points
in forty-eight hours. If there is any
one who knows anything about this
market, the New York pit would like
to find him. There has not been any
changes like these in the history of
cocoon speculation. A number
of factors are operating against
an advance, and yet, the undertone
look for a wild sort of a market for
some days to come. but whether any
thing can turn prices towards a higher
or lower level, remains to be seen. 1t
looks as though the market was seek
ing lower level for the time being,
and yet, the short interest runs so
quickly that the market holds very
well. 1t hardly seems as though the
market was a purchase at the moment
and we are waiting for developments.
AS soon as the market gives evidences
of its next move, there will be some
inducements to trade. At the moment
the only way appears to buy below II
cents and sell around 125c. With
any falling off in receipts the market
is likely to work higher. Trading is
on an enormous scale and fluctuations
are now on the 40 and so point or
der. If operators can catch the swing
of the market, there is big money
in buying on smashes and selling on
a big bulge.

the bonds seemed to be unaffected by
an intimation that new syndicate
would be formed to take over the bond
holdings of the present one, and to UNI
derwrite them at 65, presumably with
the purpose of disposing of them at a
profit to the public. Nothing official
was forthcoming regarding the syndi-
cate operations before the market
closed. United States Steel preferred
probably was affected by the action of
trunk line officials in agreeing to
reduction on EXPORT steel freight rates.
Very discouraging reports were in cir
culation regarding the rate Of earnings
on the present output Of United States
Steel, and rumors were very persistent
OF the entry of large interests in the
old steel companies into some of the
independent combinations. The adj
vance of IL in Republic Steel is a re-
Election of these rumors. Light buying
for foreign account was a factor in
the strength of the days market.
Minor railroad stocks maintained
their conspicuous position of the last
few days in the market. The consum-
nation of the Seaboard settlement was
a favoring influence on this class of
stocks, pointing to the possibility of
absorption and consolidation growing
out OF the recent troubles and losses
caused by the extensive shrinkage In
stock market values.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Nov. 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of So
II points and followed the call, gain
ing another point or two on covering
and room buying, encouraged by the
recovery in Liverpool, which at the
hour of the local opening was a little
better than expected; rather smaller
receipts than estimated and the con-
tinu2d cold weather in the belt.
Then it was observed that the big
bull leaders were not supporting as
aggressively as expected, and a little
later the bears made a drive at the
market which in connection with heavy
realizing, caused a net loss of 2@4
points.
Following this the market ruled ir-
regular, but generally strong on more
aggressive buying by bull interests, re-
ports that a Southern trading COM
pany had reduced their crop estimate
to 100000 bales, despite the recent
heavy receipts and predictions for a
decreasing movement which were back
ed up by estimate for to-morrow's
leading points that were rather under
the recent average, though still large
as compared with last year. At any
rate, prices in the middle of the aft
ernoon showed a net gain of 1S@25
points on the active months, and room
sentiment seemed bullish. just be-
fore the close, however, there was again
heavy realizing by the scalping con-
tingent, and the market eased off, clos
ing net 6613 points higher.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
Beginning with an early estimate of
g., 900 bales for the days ports, ideas
were later reduced to the $4,000 bales
figure, and actual receipts turned out
still less than that, though well above
last years figures. Exports were fair.
A feature of the afternoon market
was the sale of 5000 bales of Novem-
Der in one block at points below the

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, Nov. 19.-Spot cotton,
quiet and easier, with limited offerings
and very little demand; sales, 2,450
bales, including 1850 to arrive. Quo
tations, Lice lower.
Futures opened quiet, with prices
4Q5 points higher. The unprecedent-
ed cold weather for so early in the
season was regarded as a bullish fea-
ture, and acted as a support to prices
throughout the morning. Attimes prof
it-taking by room traders was heavy
enough to cause wide declines. The
volume of trade was comparatively
light. Some nervousness was appar-
ent, due to the coming bureau esti-
mate of the crop, and few operators
traded except for a turn. 1t, was like
yesterday, a scalpers' market, and the
scalper did the greater part of the
trading. In the operations Of the
morning December advanced 8 points
above yesterdays close to 10.92c, fell
to 10.S0c and then advanced to Hole;
January gained points, to 10.98c, fell
to 10.87c and advanced to Hose; March
gained points, to 11.14c, fell to 11.03c,
then advanced to 1890. From the
highest figures of the day prices fell
off 1904 points, the market closing
quiet. Net gains of Sos points.

THE RICE MARKET.

Demand for the week has been of
goodly proportions-quite in excess of
equal period last year. Prices are well
sustained and on some sorts an item
higher. Spot stocks are not large, con-
siderable lines being booked to arrive.

proved inquiry on The Atlantic coast.
At New Orleans market is active, and
higher for Japan styles. Demand is
on legitimate lines for distribution
North and West. In the interior
Southwest Louisiana and Texas-un-
der active demand prices have ad-
vanced. Delay in transportation has
resulted from scarcity of cars, and the
interruption to business is quite Sc
rious.
Gables and correspondence from
abroad note quiet conditions. Market
seems to be in the doldrums-buysrs

on the spot there was no pressure to
sell cotton, and none went for less
than full quotations. 1t is said local
offerings are limited. and to this ex-
tent the pressure to sell is almost en-
tirely relieved. Whether the crop is
large or moderate it is admitted the
cotton planter has never before exer-
cised such independence in the mar
keting of the crop.
The f. o. b. market was tame during
the day, the demand being fair, and
the country stiff and unwilling to sell

and at times the pit was in a greater
furore than during the previous DAYS
this week. Very little change in the
wild nature of fluctuations took place
and the prices moved about in a way
to disturb the phlegmatic trader on
the floor. No one appeared to have any
settled idea about the market, whether
the prices had reached a level from
which a decline was in order. or
whether there would be a still fur
Their advance. A large business was
done by brokerage houses with South
ern connection. Never In the history
of the speculative market has there
been such conditions as exist at pres
ent. AS a matter of fact, we dislike
to express a decided opinion on cotton,
However, 1t looks as though It were a
purchase every time it breaks 5000
points. We understand that New Or
leans was a large seller to-day, but
this must be taken with the grain of
salt. On any sharp breaks we would
advise buying.

stock market showed tendency to
harden slowly again to-day. The most
active stock was United States Steel
preferred, and the late strength of that
stock saved the market from any re-
action caused by proft-taklng on the
part of traders. and made the closing
strong at top prices and quite active.
Reports seemed to show that the
strength of Steel preferred stock was
incident to the closing up Of the syn
dicate's operations preparatory to its
dissolution. The second bonds rose az

that the bond holdings OF the syndicate
had been marketed. The strengths OF
