Mr. Ingersoil said that after crediting sun

a defaulter to the amount of 452,300 when-
Nova f Stores J-Tte sudden an d unpre
cedented revulsion in . the price of Naval
Stores has cast a most serious gloom .over
me prospects m " 19 bcwivm wi.iwimi
olina. Stimulated by the extraordinary
prices- which Turpentine commanded du
ring the whole of last winter, 'many of our
citizens have withdrawn their labor and
capita from their wonted channels, and
.have embarked them in making Turpen-
tne, which held but such allluring pros-
.... . . ' m '
pects to all - who might engage in it.
Lands and negroes have been both purcha
sed and hired athigrf prices, in the antici
pation that the product of the pine would
continue to command such a price as
would amply repay any outlay. The bub
ble has bursted ' Turpentine has tumbled
down from $4' to $2 per barrel, and
Spirits of Turpentine from 65 to 35
cents per gallon; and it is with ex
treriie regret' that we are compelled- to ex
press the opinion-that neither of- the arti
cles have reached the lowest point of de
pression yet It has now been demonstra
ted' that the sole cause of the sudden and
unlooked for rise in prices last winter was
speculation. This fever is now over. A
revulsion has' taken place, and its conser
quences will be felt most severely, we fear,
bv this section of North Carolina. As an
evidence that the recent high prices did
not have their origin in a proportionate in
crease in the demand for Naval Stores, ei
ther in this country or Great Britain,1 we
may state that, from the best information
we can obtain, there is vat least 125,000
barrels of the old crop of Turpentine now
on hand in New York, Liverpool and Lon
don, alone.' We also learn that there is
considerable -quantity of Spirits of' -Tur
pentine now on -hand in New York some
six or seven thousand barrels, ' as near
as we can ascertain. This, we jthink, is
proof positive that the recent high .pricesf
did not result from any legitimate causes.
The Naval Store market, perhaps, never
was in a more unsettled state than at the;
present moment There is more apints
on hand at present than is required
for consumption, and consequently the
distilleries of North Carolina, with a fewj
exceptions have suspended operations.
Indeed, they have no data to go upon at
present, and therefore we think their
course a prudent one, at least for a time
The consequence of all this is that our mar-
Ket IS exiremeiy ueprcsscu. xnueeu, uum
ness in the Naval Store line is almost at a
stand. -Wilmington Jour.
