 The market early in the week when the Manipulative support was withdrawn devel- oped a sagging tendency and from 36 Y c at which the market opened last Wednes- day, (Aug. 26) prices gradually dropped week. After Wednesday, however. addi- tional support for good buying orders was given by the exporting element and the quotation gradually worked back over the lost ground. At the conclusion of business Tuesday the article was ruling firm at s5&c to 3so. Net loss for the week Nc
 Receipts were as usual heavy, but there was total absence of foreign shipments. In rosins. however. the bulk of all ship ments were to foreign ports.
 Because of the continued complaints from Europe over the migrating of the lower grades of rosins the Board of Directors of the Board of Trade yesterday changed the grading rules governing the listing of ros- ins and by their action the grades former in their place now stands the letter '.B ." Most of the rosins in these grades bought and graded as "C." in foreign coun- tries. As matter of course, however. much ed as "B" and the result was that the buy CTS on the other side complained that q lower grade was being substituted for the "c' rosins bought.
