END OF ROSlN WAR
NAVAL STORES INTERESTS COME
 TO AGREEMENT. ssH
sz,500,o0 Is Involved in the Deal. Claim Made That Producers
 Will Benefit by the
 Deal. .' sN

Savannah. Dec. 10.--(Special.)-The fight between the naval stores export ing companies of Savannah. known as the "old line" exporters, and consisting of the S. F. shotter Company of this city, the Patterson Downing Company of New York, the Antwerp Naval Stores Company of Antwerp and the NichoI Knight interests of London on the one side and the Naval Stores Export Com pany of Jacksonville. Fla, on the other. has come to an end, the two conflicting interests having made an agreement to end the war.
 By this was meant the "old line" companies take over the entire hold ings of spirits of turpentine and rosin now owned by the Naval Stores Export Company at Florida ports and else where. and all Florida ports with the exception of Pensacola are declared open markets.
 Though the companies interested will not give out the details of the agree ment. 1t is understood that the holdings Of turpentine consist of something in the neighborhood of 45,000 casks taken at a rate of 61 cents a gallon, the mar ket price at the close of the week, and that the entire holdings of both spirits and rosin will amount in the aggregate to something like s2,5oo,O0o. The ros- in, 1t is understood, will be taken at
 
 the market closed last week.
 The Naval Stores Export Companv Will continue in business.
 lt IS stated that the agreement in- ciudes a clause guaranteeing a mini- mum price for spirits and for rosin and according to one of the producers most heavily interested in the business the producer is guaranteed a price for his product that will be much better than the average prices paid during the last five years.
 The transfer of the stock, which in- cludes that at all ports and distribute ing points In the world, is to take place within the next thirty days.
 The open port clause in the deal means. In. the opinion of the trade. that the effort to keep prices in Flor ida on parity with those at Savannah has been thoroughly tested and foy,nd Failure and that the receipts at tbis point will materially increase from this time forward. sAi'
 The agreement was the result of a series Of conferences that have been held Tn this city for the last week Tn which not only the principal men in the trade were present but even Sena- tor Taliferro of Florida, who took an active part in the negotiations.
 The trade as a whole Is satisfied with the end Of the war, as they believe If means normal ,nditions in the market
 The night was the cause of history making in the last season, for prices in rosin reached a level that they had never before touched, and spirits of turpentine went to mark that has not been equailed since the Civil War.
