MARKET DP ANDDOWN
! -
A Savannah View of the Naval
Stores Situation and Out-
i look for Prices.
THE POSITION OF SPIRITS.
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support was withdrawn, and the mar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

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."
