Coed Dcmaad With Moderate Prodoc J tloa ladlcttloss Never More Ea- cearaflag Thaa New The l Adalteraat Tabooed. ! In discussing the naval store mar ket daring the past several day and the prospects for the preeent week, the Savannah News of yesterday says: -I "The emtio price movement of the turpentine market last week makes the openlnx of the new week to-day of special Interest to the trade here and In the Interior. The operator I doubtless wonderinx what last week's movement meant, for the market waa like the King of France la rolnx ap the hill and then coming down again. It came down more precipitately than It went ap. i "The explanation of the rise was the buying of a large firm of exporters, who bid . the market op from day to day and extended liberal support un lit the price reached 63c Then the support was withdrawn, and the mar ket dropped like a panctnrsd balloon. Btised by .wholesome support from source able to uae a great deal of turpentine It was natural that the yielding came when thla buying ceas ed, and thla la about the explanation of latt week's price movement Tbe closing on Saturday found the turpen tine at 6151ic, with the demand only moderate at thle figure and some doubt expressed as to the maintenance of the market around its present level unless some unexpected new demand develops. "The outlook for the article seems to be well enough, judging from 11a statistical position, and the fact that tbe general demand for It the world over was seldom better than It I now. For a time the trade had the poeaibill t!e of wood turpentine flaunted in their feces, but this product is now riven up to be entirely too experi mental to compete with turpentine. Its merits will first have to be thor oughly demonitrated. Manufacturers whose needs call for pure turpentine will be slow about adopting a aabstl tate without first knowing it exact value. They do not care to adulterate their paints or other product with the substitute and then have their com petitors who used the pure article get tbe business. So far as adulterants are concerned, at leaat In this coun try, little fear Is now expressed by dealers in pure spirits. "As tbe statistical position of spirits Is strong the trsde do not look for any sharp decline on this account. Moreover, tbe Jigbt receipts and com paratively small stocks at all ports takes from the bftrs what would other wise be a cudgel with which to. ham mer tbe market effectively. As it is, they are forced to face a good demand with moderate production. ' , And It la realised that thla eoadltJoa of affairs ia aot calculated to carry prices off to a very material extent." - TUB POLICE COURT YESTERDAY. Three Ot leaders Vest te Roads Fall are of a Presecatlat WItaea. Mayor Springer had a light docket yeeterday la the police court.
