TONE AND PRICES OFF
IN BOTH ROSINs AND SPIRITS MAR
KETS YESTERDAY
SPIRITS HELD THEIR PRICE
UNTIL AFTER MARKET CLOSED
WHEN THEY DROPPED TO 521a.

Resins Opened at Split Prices On
Almost Entire List, Inside Repre-
aentinE Decline of Cents From
Close of Previous Day-CIOse Was
steady and Unchanged, But Late
Trading Was On Basis of Inside
Quotations and, in the Case of a
Few Grades at n Decline on These.
Receipts Likely to Fall OF Be-
cause of Wet weather.
A drop in prices and a change in tone
marked both the spirits and the resins
markets yesterday. Resins opened
firm, and at split prices on every grade
except I the inside prices represent
ing a decline from the closing of the
day before of sc on the greater num-
Der of grades. The sales were 1876
barrels. At the close the market was
quoted steady and unchanged, and
without furtheE sales. The receipts
were 2,6S2, and the exports, 2,743. New
York was quoted dull, at $2.7O. In
the late business, sales were made at
inside prices and at a decline of sc on
l and on the inside price of G, with
the remainder of the list at inside fig
ures. 1t is understood that not all of
the receipts were sold.
Reports received in Savannah for the
last several days have told of heavy
rains in the greater portion of the tur-
pentine producing territory, both in
Georgia and Florida, and this, it is
expected, will have the effect of mater
tally reducing the receipts of both
these articles at this port within a
very short time. The natural inference
is that with a large reduction in the
supply the prices will again advance.
The spirits market opened steady,
at 53Ac, with sales of 126 casks, and
closed quiet and unchanged, with no
additional sales. In the post market
business some sales were made at clos
ing quotations, others at 52hc, while
still other portions of the receipts were
applied on contracts. The receipts
were 1856 casks, and the exports, So
casks. At New York the market was
quoted easy, at 56Kc, while London
was quoted at 40.1-9.
The following are the figures and
quotations of the naval stores market.

The good results Of British administration IN
Egypt, Of which we were reminded In Lord
Cromer's recent report. are paralleled In india
as Lord Curzon's budget speech makes clear
4 few years ago il was, or seemed. necessary
To devote much attention in India TO military
affairs, especially 10 strengthening the bOunda-
ries and perfecting control Of the border tribes
That work was well done by Lord Roberts and
his successors Now il is possible 10 give chief
attention 70 Internal development, and this Is
being done as thoroughly as the former work.
For the first time in twenty years the British
Indian government has granted remission Of
taxation, and a large one. At the same time
the revenue has increased. in the five years OF
Lord Curzon's reign, by more than II per cent,
and the yearly budgets have shown SURPRISES
averaging Sl5.OO0OOO. To increase revenue and
AT the same time 10 decrease taxation is n
great achievement But this is not ALL Gold
and silver are flowing into India from other
lands at the rate Of S4GOOOOOO a year, and de-
posts i'm savings banks, Of which ninetenths
are made and owned by Indians, have increased
by more than COO per cent since 1870 The rail
road system is being extended at the rate OF
nearly 1000 miles a year, and is now paid for
and yielding n handsome profit.
Such items make a gratifying and suspicious
showing. They indicate that the Indian En-
pire is being well governed. But there is some
thing more. The empire is being more and
more governed not only for the Indians. but
also by the Indians themselves. The Indian
civil service includes 2G9OS places with sala-
ries Of from SOD to S4.O0O a year. or these no
fewer than l62S3 are filed by native Indians
and only J205 by Europeans. the other 5,42O
being filed by "Eurasians" The showing, on
the whole, Is a fine vindication of the imperial
rule.

WHAT RUSSIA CIV AFFORD.

Prince Oukhtomsky, the Editor of the St
Petersburg "Viedomost," is quoted as saying
that Russia will continue the war with Japan
for ten years If necessary, or until her vast re-
sources have been exhausted, rather than yield,
for Russia cannot yield her position among the
powers" That is paraphrase of the remark
which we have heard made innumerable times
since the war began, that Russia cannot afford
TO be beaten" Indeed, it was heard long before
the war, 10 the effect that Russia could not
afford TO withdraw her pretensions in Man
churia and Corea, for TO do so would be to give
Japan a diplomatic victory. and that was some
thing Russia could not afford" From certain
points Of view this seems reasonable. II would
seem CALLING for a great power of the white race
70 yield in any respect TO a power of the yellow
race II would seem intOlerable for the power
which has long aimed at dominance in Europe
to suffer defeat at the hands of an Asiatic
power that had been recognized as an equal
for only a few years.
Fate, or the progress Of events or whatever
you may call IT. however. has little regard for
what nation can cannot afford We may
add that nations. or their wiseacre friends, do
not always have at first the most clear and
Judicious conception of what they can and can
not afford The Austrian Emperor and his gov
eminent half century ago were convinced that
they could not afford to grant independence TO
Hungary. But nothing is now more clearly
seen than that the granting of such indepen-
dence was the best possible thing for Austria as
well as for Hungary. These things are finally
decided not by pride nor by prestige. nor by
what II is thought a nation can or cannot do
but, as Bismarck said, by blood and iron. Now
Il may be-we are not prophesying on either side
that Russia will win by virtue OF blood and
iron and that without fighting for ten years or
exhausting all her resources ON the other
hano, she may find it impossible to do so. In
the latter case she will doubtless also find il
quite possible to afford that which some of her
friends now so loudly assert she cannot afford
What Russia can afford to DO is 10 serve her
own best interests, even though they may lie in
me direction Of domestic DEVELOPMENT rather
man or foreign conquest She can afford 10
pursue a policy that will avert the perennial
menace OF revolt in Poland that viii restore tho

Work on the superior court docket
is progressing rapidly. a large number
of cases having already been disposed
of, among them three colored persons
being convicted of selling whiskey, or
running blind tigers" There are yet
other cases of this nature to be dispos-
ed of-the one Of chief interest being
that of MIR. Henry Maddox, who is
charged in two cases Of illegally sell
ing whiskey. The outcome Of the asst
TWO indictments are a~nxiouSly awaited.
Yesterday morning while all of the
clerks were at breakfast except one -
and he was engaged at the front of the
StOre-some thief entered the safe of
the Parker and Faulkner Furniture
company and took therefrom a box
containing about $4,000 in checks and
drafts, belonging to Mr.. w. K. Parker.
proprietor of the Parker Cotton Com
pany, who had stored it there for safe
keeping, and about $3.50 belonging to
the furniture company. The missing
box was searched for when the THEFT
was discovered, and found some dis
lance from the safe, but only 1920
was missing. The thief was either
quite magnanimous or was scared
away from his booty by the approach
of the clerk from the front to the rear
of the store. The thief has not yet been
~apprehended but the police are at
work on a clew, and it is to be hoped
the guilty party will eventually pay
the penalty of his crime. All the above
named gentlemen are receiving the
congratulations of riends today upon
their escape from a greater loss.
