SAVANNAH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS. I
Savannah, Ga., Dec. i, 1887. (
General Remarks—As is usually a feature of
the last of the month in trading circles the gen
eral market was more or less quiet with quite
an absence of personal buyers in the wholesale
jobbing trades, and also a scarcity of orders ex
cept for the usual holiday goods which are
generally moving at this season of
the year. In the latter the move
ment shows considerable improvement all
around, but more particularly in the grocery
trade, and the present steady current of busi
ness in this branch is expected to continue for
several weeks hence. In dry goods, the distri
bution at this period of the year is usually
small, the demand not starting up in volume
until tbs approach of spring, the
shipping of light filling in orders,
however, continues steady. In all
other departments business develop lit
tle that is new or interesting; In a jobbing
way there has been only light trading, mostly
to meet ordinary local wants, with prices steady
enough. Values upon most staples are well
supported, and the tone of pretty nearly all the
markets favors firmness rather than the con
trary. The most notable changes have been
the heavy advance In bacon, grain and flour,
while coffees weakened and declined. The
money market is still easy, as is also domestic
exchange, while foreign is weak. Collections
are slow and the security market stagnant and
niore or less nominal. The appended resume of
the week’s business will show the tone and latest
quotations of the different markets at the close
to-day:
Naval Stores— The market for spirits tur
pentine continued comparatively steady
throughout the week. There was a good de
mand, but the heavy receipts prevented any ad
vance in prices, holders, however, held pretty
firmly at 34c. for regulars. The total sales
for the week were about 3,800 casks.
Rosins to all appearance were dull at un
changed prices. The total sales for the
week were about 7,800 barrels.; In another col
umn will be found a comparative statement of
receipts and exports from the beginning of the
season to date, and for the same icried last
N ear, showing the stocks on hand and on ship-
Vioard not cleared, together with the official
closing quotations.
Rice—The market continues to hold its strong
position despite the reports of weakness, and
even depression, at the distributing points.
Stocks are held with confidence, and buyers,
■when they have orders, meet the current prices
without complaint. The demand, however,
is slwo, and but few round lots
are changing hands. Rough is com
ing iii slowly, and from this
time forward a gradual steady reduction of
stocks in the mills is looked for. The total sales
for the w eek were about 1,000 barrels. The fol
lowing are the official quotations of the Board
of Trade. Small job lots are held at )s@)4e.

Cotton. —There was some improvement in
the market over that of the previous week. A
firmer feeling existed, although the demand,
while very fair, was not equal in volume to the
offering stock Holders, however, have the
latter w ell in uaw' and at the close to-day most
factors were firm at 1-ltic. higher than the cur
rent quotations, notwithstanding an advance of
1-1 Sc, the previous day. The total sales for the
week were 16,700 bales. The following are the
official closing spot quotations of the Cotton

Green A Co.’s report on cotton futures says:
■‘Cottou certificates have had a very Irregular
market, with the most noticeable feature in the
extremely nervous feeling of all classes of
operators, and consequent numerous sharp fluc
tuations. At times it looked as though the
longs were becoming disposed to unload, but
breaks under this influence would in- quickly
taken up, and a reaction followed that looked
as though shorts were Inclined to cover rather
than force advantages. Altogether It proved a
sort of liquidating market among those who
thing all probade new influences have been ex
hausted. with no fresh developments of outside
character, except that Wall street, unloaded
pretty freely at one time during the day. After
gaining some 4®6 points, rates receded 15 points
and then recovered 5(g,6 points again, closing
steady."

A Modern Heroine.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
There has just been entered as a student!
at one of the great, colleges of this city a
young lad whose education is to bo paid for
by the pnxxneds of the labor of a heroine.
The lioj- came from the country, and, when
his mother wrote to outer him at college she
said in her letter; “At last I can give my
boy the blessed privileges of education.
The money has been hard earned. 1 earned
every nenay of it by working in the cotton
fields picking ootton.” Before the war this
Spartan mother was a great lady. She
owned many slaves and rode in carriages
and had a box at the opera, with jewels and
fine gowns a plenty. To-day she walks
down the cotton fields that once were
hrs, and patiently picks oft the fleece, for
which she is paid tor picking so much a
pound.
It is said that embossed ornamentation or
embossed gilt lettering on glass as done by
hydrofluoric acid can be closely imitated by
painting in the design with rather thick
damar varnish, water-glass, Canada balsam
(thinned with turpentine, if required) or a
solution of gum arabic. A little sugar of
lead introduced into the vehicle used will
produce a grouud-glass effect. Colors may
be used and gilding not over the design ft
desired.
