Periods of moderate strength and weakness Irregular at ali timsa There was no effective demand in evidence such as would mark an aggressive accumula- tion, but evidence Of some support at bears warning of obstacles to be en- countefed in too bold an attack on values The sentiment amongst the professional operators was not opti- mistic and the events of the day, while not of great importance. were con- strued unfayorably. The response of foreign markets to the news for the settlement between Austria, Hungary and Turkey was . disappointment, A decline in private discounts in Paris and Berlin. a rise in London exchange at Paris. and a fall in the London price of gold were reflections of the relaxed tension of the situation. Lon Jon discounts, however, continued to advance and foreign stock markets did not retain the benefit first shown on the news. The question was left open whether the prospect is sufficiently vance In the Bank of England official rate of discount tomorrow. The date for the Russian loan issue was fixed for January g.

Limitations were heard of a probable disappointing showing for the quarterly report of the United States steel corporation and the January orders received were said to be disappointing. Tn this connection, the rate at which money Is coming back from the country into bank re- serves Is disquieting evidence of a lack of demand for it in the circuia- tion.,
 Current redemption of bank notes by the United States treasury for the first twelve days of January reached the total of t20.000,o00 and for several days past have run from two to two and one-half million dollars.
 This rate of reflux approaches. 1T 1t does not equal that which set in early last year when money markets first began to become normal, hoarded currency to come out and the iessened trade activity to pile up idle reserves in the banks.

NAVAL STORES WEEKLY REVIEW.

Savannah, Jan 13.-(Special )-Though the market was apparently on the verge of a decline at the conclusion of business yes- terday the local spirits of turpentine mar ket for the week just ended shows a nice little margin of gains. The article opened on Wednesday (Jan- @ firm at 38%c and the close yesterday was steady at 41hc.
 The volume of receipts during the week proved important factor in the trend of prices for the seven days. At one time there a slight increase in the daily arrivals and buyers very promptly withdrew their support. This was only tenn
 porary, however, and soon as the re- cefpts renewed the dwindling tendency
 the buyers for European requirements came into the market with renewed activity.
 Just at this moment, however, there seems
 no very pressing demands to meet and 1t
 was believed that prices would ease off
 from yesterdays closing level for a few
 days at least Taken as a whole, however, the general statistical position of the ar ticIe is good and seemingly warrants the forecasting of better prices from this time on, excepting of course the slight slump which appears to threaten at the moment. Rosins were in very good demand and a fair total of sales was effected in the seven days. The pale grades continue prac- | tically unchanged from the levels of last week. but all of the mediums and commons | are higher by several cents. At the close yesterday the following prices were quoted : Water white $6. 50; window glass SC. 70; N | s6 15@ 20; M $5 80; K $5.10; $4. 15 e 20; | H 8 3.4OQ42h; G $3.17h; FEE S3.1601745; 1 D S315; B s3.1OQ15.
