SPIRITS.-This was an uneventful
day in the turpentine market, except
for the uniform strength maintained.
Prices show no disposition to yield.
The opening at the Board of Trade
was firm at. 4524c. sales 451 casks, and
closed firm and unchanged. sales 275
casks. The demand was fairly good.
1t is such. as the trade like, being
without the erratic features calculated
to carry the market out of it's natural
channel Reports still point to rains
in some sections of the turpentine belt
and lower temperatures, all of which
are calculated to lessen the movement
portward. These reports also tended
to place the market on a firm founda-
ton and created among factors salts
faction with conditions as they exist.
To- days receipts were LIP casks, cx-
ports 270 casks.
ROSINS.-The rosin market opened
firm. with 1 and above sc off as the
inside price, sales 1891 barrels, and
closed firm and unchanged, no sales.
On the whole the demand was
thoroughly satisfactory, and the offer
ings cleaned up. The receipts were
2,306 barrels, and the exports 1875 bar

New York. June 9.-Cables were good
and this gave our market a lift of 1G14
points at the opening, July was picked
up in large quantities. The bull clique
were eager buyers of old crop, and the
general market, which is being sustain
ed by the people who detect constant
deterioration in the crop, or at least
such slow recuperative powers as to
materially strengthen the market At
the advanced period of the season it is
the less reasonable to look for prompt
rallying power in backward crop con-
ditions, and for this reason the more
bullish feeling prevails. The fact is a
combination of conditions just now ia
vors a bull view of the situation. such
'as the floods, excessive rains in the
Atlantic, threatened boil weevil in
Texas, short stocks everywhere, and
the certainty that the world will re-
quire no less than IL, 500, 900 bales for
the coming season. The market eased
off and lost all theadvance for July
soon after the opening. Orders were
scarce for the time being. and until the
weekly bureau report appeared. Ca
bles were 6Q16 points higher. The
weekly bureau report was quite bull
ish and caused a fresh squirt in the
market. In fact, the conditions on the
whole was a good deal worse than the
bull element had looked for.

and excited openings of the season. On
the call July sold first at 1.S5c, went

The receipts for the day were moder-
ate, further showers reported over the
cotton belt and Liverpool, which at
first sent rather a disappointing re-
spouse to our advance on the old crop
months yesterday, showed further
strength. Notwithstanding this, after
the call there was tremendous realiz-
ing and July declined to 11.7Sc, August
to H. 8c, September to 10. soc, and Oc-
tober to 9.70c. Then the strength in
New Orleans again attracted attention,
and orders began to come in from that
center, while the profit taking by longs
had about run its course. Shorts be-
gan to cover and by midday prices were
net, to p points higher. At this
level the weekly report of the weather
bureau was read, and the trading be-
came the widest of the session, and
even more excited than at any previous
time this season. Within ten minutes
July was rushed up to II. lac, August
to II SIC, and September to 10 &C, the
of II to S2 points over the sensational
advances of yesterday. Throughout
the entire afternoon there was no ma
terial diminishment of the activity and
excitement, and while there was an
occasional but narrow recession, the
market continued its upward career
until July sold at 227c, August 11.81c,
September 10. &c and October 9 SOC. At
this level the market was net, Is to 81
points above the closing of yesterday,
and 10 to 101 points above the lowest

this naturally attracted heavy realiz-
ing, and the active months broke sharp

was finally quoted at II .15c, August at

ment. and in a semi demoralized con-
dition
This was after prices had twice been
rallied to above last nights level, the
second rally establishing substantial
net gains in a number of active specu-
lative leaders. st. Paul rose 2h over
last night Missouri Pacific IA, New
York Central " and Pennsylvania,
Union Pacific, the Atchsons and Wa
bash preferred about point. There
were important examples also amongst
the industrials showing gains of a
point and the whole market was a SUBJ
stantial fraction above last night The
large buying on the advance fs2ve the
rally a more impressive al, };ttance
than anything that has occurred dur
ing the present decline. and the con-
viction of the floor seemed fairly gen.
eral that the market had turned up
wards at least temporarily.
1t has been evident for several days
that there was absorption Of an inhu-
entail character at several points in
the list, notably in st. Paul, PenDsyl-
vania and New York Central. Reports
from accredited sources sustained the
belief that responsible financial inter-
ests stand ready to take over all avail
able offerings of Pennsylvania at or
about the price at which the recent
new issue of stock was offered to stock
holders for purpose of control and that
they had formulated this purpose in a
definite offer to the underwriting syn
dicate to take the new issue OF stock
off its hands. Such a state OF affairs
is calculated 10 buttress Pennsylvania
stock.
IL was not until near o'clock that
the advance eliminated. At that time
Il became evident that the higher level
OF prices was being used as n basis
for renewed liquidation, and the mar
ket crumbled until the close, the fall
gaining momentum as IL proceeded.
The force OF the selling centered on
Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western. the former falling an extreme
3ss and Norfolk and Western 3A. The
failure OF so promising a movement
towards recovery redoubled the dis
couragement on all hands and heavy
selling was renewed in Atchison down

If the report is correct statement of
the conditions of the crop, we must
have most favorable weather from now

crop equal to the consumption of this

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The market closed very steady, and
fairly active. A leading exporter says:
The crop in sight is. 101,902 bales
against 1880 bales in the correspond
ing time last year, and S772O bales the
year before, and 98.262 bales in 1899.
The weather has been favorable this
week. The report from Carolina IS
that the crop. although two weeks
later than last year, is improving and
with continued good weather will re-
cover lost ground. Not so however with
the Florida and Georgia crop. which
has suffered to such an extent from
previous cold and rain, that it is In an
exceptionally unpromising state. 1t Is
very backward. in some places the
stands have been so bad that the fields
have been replanted with upland seed
and much of the young plant mas an
unhealthy appearance.
