50  Report  of  Naval  Stores. 
Turpentine.  Rosin. 
On  Hand  at  Stills  Aug.  i,  1918   59,000  casks        170,000  bbls. 
On  Hand  at  Stills  Aug.  I,  1919   19,000  casks       115,000  bbls. 
This  decrease  is  undoubtedly  due  to  the  higher  prices  prevailing" 
this  year  and  to  the  increase  of  exports. 
The  stocks  of  turpentine  at  the  stills  decreased  16,000  barrels, 
and  rosin  decreased  45,000  barrels  from  March  i,  191 9,  to  April  i, 
191 9,  the  last  month  of  the  naval  stores  year,  when  practically 
nothing  was  made.    This  decrease  is  shown  by  the  following  figures: 
Turpentine.  Rosin. 
On  Hand  at  Stills  March  1,1919   40,000  casks        175,000  bbls. 
On  Hand  at  Stills  April  I,  19 19   24,000  casks        130,000  bbls. 
Production  has  been  greater  in  Georgia  and  Florida  this  year, 
up  to  August  I ,  than  it  was  last  year.  In  the  other  states  it  has  been 
less  this  year  than  it  was  last.  This,  together  with  the  fact  that  large 
quantities  of  old  turpentine  and  rosin  which  had  been  made  during 
previous  seasons  and  tanked  and  stored  at  the  stills,  have  been 
shipped  into  the  three  main  eastern  ports  this  year,  probably  ac- 
counts for  the  considerable  increase  in  receipts  reported  at  Savannah, 
Jacksonville  and  Pensacola,  compared  with  last  year.  This  is  es- 
pecially true  of  turpentine.
