VANCED AGAIN TO "a CENTS.
ALL R0SIN GRADES FIRM.
RECEIPTS OF BOTH ROsINS AND
TURPENTINE CONTINUE LIGHT.

Factors Say That Exporters Want
Stuff for May Contracts and 1t Is
Suspected That They Have Not Yet
FILLED All Their April Contracts.
Late Summer Months in London
Said TO BE Commanding Higher
Prices Than SpOts-Sales md Re-
ceipts.
Turpentine changed its front again
yesterday, advancing from $3.50 to 54c
a gallon.
From a factors point Of view the
exporters want stuff" for May con-
tracts, and 1t is suspected that they
have not yet filled their April con-
tracts.
The receipts of turpentine must nee
essarily continue light on account OF
the cool weather during the producing
month of April.
Factors understand that the late
summer months in London are COM
handing higher prices than spots,
which is taken to indicate that con-
sumers want to fill their requirements
for future delivery in the early pro-
ducing months.
The sales of spirits aggregated 653
casks, and the receipts were 697 casks.
Rosins.-All grades of resins are con-
sidered firm at the advance, and the
market is unchanged. The probability
is that there will be no material de-
cline, or advance in any of the rosin
grades IN the near future.
In both the turpentine and rosin
markets the receipts are practically all
taken as soon as received.
The sales of resins amounted to 534
ha rrals and the receints S46 barrels

Say That the Market Was Quiet and
Featureless.

Savannah, Ga, April 30-The cotton
future market was quiet and rather
featureless, although there was bet
ter tendency, shorts being good buyers.
The foreign advices were much better
than looked for, and private cables
were encouraging. There was a good
demand for spot cotton abroad, but
the demand on this side centered only
in certain grades, and it was figured
that spinners were not after quantity,
but rather after quality.
Port receipts were figured at 5000.
The kilograms from the South atract-
ed considerable attention, but the crop
advices as a whole We're quite conflict
ing. Talk of big acreage continued in
force, but in Texas considerable plant
ing is certainly necessary. The weather
map to-day generally was mixed.

shown in it, and trade was feature

Say That 1t Is Hard to Know What
TO Advise.

New York, April 30.-The fact that
notice day passed off all right had a
great influence on sentiment. 1t is
now evident that exporters own the
New York stocks, and New Orleans is
sending out her cotton rapidly-50,0 900
bales yesterday-all this helps. There
is a big shortage in Liverpool, which
should prevent a break of any extent
There is a slow business here in dry
goods, but cotton famine is a Sc
rious thing We do not care to be
short of cotton.
1t is very hard to bull them at this
season, and yet there is a large short
interest in October and December.
It's very hard to know just what
to do. We would like to see October
get back around IL cents, then we
would say buy by all means. In the
meantime we would only buy on good
breaks, and then 1t may require pa
thence to come out ahead.

There was considerable liquidation.

There was considerable liquidation
