Jacksonville Metropolis, 7thD
What appeared on last Friday to be
only d sudden squirt in the turpentine
market has developed into what prom
Uses to be a steady and persistent ad-
vance.
Beginning on last Friday, when the
market opened in Savannah. at 40 "a
and closed at AZ u, the advance has
been almost sensational. Monday
there was another marked advance,
spirits closing at AZ " cents. an ad-
vance in three days of Il cents.
Various causes are assigned here for
the raise. One is the clearing up of
the financial condition. another the
disposition to hold, while still another
is in connection with what is trans
piring within the factOrage circles of
Savannah and Jacksonville.
There is, however, a strong feeling
that the increase in price is to con-
tinue, and already the effect upon bus
mess here has been great.
Firms here who have made advances
in the way of supplies to operators
throughout the naval stores belt. and
tiOns because the operators were held
ing back their product, feel that in a
few days the price of turpentine will
advance to such an extent as to JUS
tify a disposition of what stock is at
present being held
Bankers of Jacksonville appear to
take this same view of the situation.
With return of normal prices for
turpentine. business conditions in
Jacksonville are expected to greatly
improve.
In referring to the raise in the price
of turpentine yesterday the Savannah
News says:
"A sensational advance was reported
in turpentine yesterday, the net gain
in the regular market being NC over
Saturdays close, and still another
quarter of a cent added after the close.
The advance was attended with con-
siderable excitement, although trans
actions were small. The cause Of the
sudden strength seems to be the very
small offerings consequent upon the
recent light run of receipts. 1t is
claimed with the exception of a few
odd lots here and there the crop is
practically all in, and with the market
thus denuded of offerings, demand has
sprung up from several quarters. AS
this demand has not yet been satisfied.
holders expect a further advance, and
are very firm.
Spirits opened firm at 44c, an adj
vance of 1 NC over Saturdays close,
with posted sales of SO casks. Nothing
more was done until the close, when
the small offerings were bid up 3-4c
more to AZ 3-4c. at which phice the
market closed firm, with sales of 81
casks. The market was strong in the
late trading, and rather large sales
were reported 4Sc. Receipts were 1874
casks: shipments. 1854 casks, 1900
foreign and 1S4 coastwise. New York
was quoted quiet at 46c, before the
late advance here"

shad0wed by q Cracked Die.
The sale few days ago for $27 each Of
two specimens OF the gold twenty peso
pieces coined for tho unfortunate En-
peror Maximiian OF Mexico and dated
1885 brings attention to an interesting
series Of coins which made their appear
anoe during the brief period OF the attempt
to establ lish q European monarch upon
the throne Of the Montezumas.
OF course one Of the first acts Of Maxi
milan upon his accession to the throne
was the striking Of coins bearing his
portrait and title The silver coins were
of five, ten and fifty centavos and one
peso.
The copper coinage Of Maximilian
consisted OF but single denomination
the one centavo piece. The story was
generally circulated at one time that only
ninety pieces OF the twenty pesos de-
nomination were originally struck. This
Abatement has not been confirmed, but
Il Ia a fact that the coin Is scarce.
The first of the issues Of Maxirnilian
attracted notice on account OF the state
ment that the engrayers Of the pieces
which show the Emperor's bust had exc
cuted the design in such manner that
by reversing the coin likeness Of a
donkey was produced. 1t requires a
great deal Of imagination, it may be said,
to work out such resemblance,
There has been an impression that all
the coins Of Maximilian are scarce. but
