WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS. I
Savannah. Ga„ Dei!. 16, 1887. f
General Remarks—The general market
has shown some changes. The attention of
buyers has been largely devoted to goods for
the holidays, but the distribution of goods from
jobbers hands has been on a very liberal scale.
Trading is confined in most departments to
actual wants, and in the aggregate the move
ment in general merchandise is falling off.
Values have been quite steady, with but few im
portant changes. The most activity is felt in
groceries, the demand from the interior being
steady on account of the holidays. Securities
are inactive with light offerings. Collections
are rather slow, as usual. The money mar
ket is active, with a heavy demand. Exchange
is heavy, both for foreign and domestic. There
is nothing going on in the security market,
which is for the most part nominal for lack of
offerings of all desirable stocks and bonds
for investment. The following resume of the
week's business will show the bine and latest
quotations of the different markets at the
close to-day:
Naval Stores—The market for spirits tur
pentine opened firm and advancing, which feel
ing continued until the close on Friday, which
showed a weak condition, and the prices lower
than at the opening, although higher than last
week. The closing price was 3h%c. asked for
regulars. The demand was good and sales
aggregated 5,000 casks. Rosin snowed a fair de
mand, with prices for some of the grades
higher than last week. Sales reached
between 10,000 and IS,OOO barrels. In another
column will be found a weekly comparative
statement of receipts and exports from the be
ginning of the season to date, and for the
same period last year, showing the stocks on
hand and on shipboard not cleared, together
with the official closing quotations.
Rice— The market has shown no new features
for the past week. The usual dullness common
to this season of the year has prevailed, with
now and then an effort on the liart of buyers to
take advantage of the situation and stock up,
but holders are firm amt refuse to make con
cessions from current rates. Legitimate orders
are probably a little heavier than usual for this
holiday season, and with greatly reduced stocks
of both rough and clean the outlook seems
promising for good demand, with probably
better prices after the turn of the year. The
sales of clean for the week amount to 450 bar
rels, while considerable rough has changed
hands at full prices. We quote:
Fair 4)4@5
Good SU@SU
Prime 5)4® 5)4
Rough-
Country lots 85®1 10
Tidewater $1 15®1 30
Grain and Provisions—Western produce
has been advancing materially of
late. Wheat and corn have fallen off
partially from their recent gains, but hog prod
ucts hold, firm. Lard has fed in activity and
strength. A month ago May lard was 7c. it ad
vanced to 8 05c. by Dec. 5, fell off to 7 55c. on
Dec. 7, and yesterday sold at 8 25, Wm. T.
Williams & Cos., say: “Our Chicago corres
pondents wire us lard has just commenced to
advance. While the price may be pushed much
higher, we would be disposed to advise intend
ing buyers to wait some reaction. There are
several causes tending to advance the price of
lard. The corn crop is short, and this also ap
pears the case with the hog crop; at any rate
the run of recipts in Chicago has been small.
The stocks are very smtll. and moreover there
is a movement to secure the passage in Con
gress of a bill to restrict the reflniDg of lard.
This will reduce the production by effectually
putting a stop to that adulteration which for
s ime time has served to keep lard relatively
cheaper than other products of the hog,”
Cotton—The week just closed has been one of
fair activity in the local market, with somewhat
better prices. Now York has made a net gain
of 15 points, and Liverpool, stimulated by
healthy trade and the falling off in our port re
ceipts, has gained considerably more. This, by
bringing foreign markets nearer to a parity
with those on this side, has strengthened the
position of the staple in tho South. The pro
portion of low grades is increasing, and conse
quently these are relatively easier. The sales
for the week reached 12,300 bales The follow
ing are the official quotations of the Cotton Ex
change:
Middling fair 10J4
Good middling 9 15-16
Middling 9)^
Low middling 9)i
Good ordinary 8%
Ordinary 8)4
Sea Island— The market during the past
week has shown a declining tendency. Stock in
factor's handt is accumulating, and exporters
realizing this have tried to depress prices, know
ing that tl e holidays are coming on. Factors
will have a large load to carry. Some weak fac
tors l ave had to accept the situation, and sales
have been ma le fully lc. below prices ruling
last week. Sales 1,385 bales. The following are
the closing quotations:
Extra fine 24c.
Fine 23c.
Medium fine 22)£c.
Medium 22c.

only adverse influence was bearish dispatches

Green A Co.’s report on cotton futures says:
“Cotton certificates, though feverish all day,
have been on the whole&tritle better supported
and cost averaged higher. The influences were
to be found in some disappointment regarding
the run of port receipts, which run less than
predicted, and the interior movement was also
comparatively light, while from England came
more or less cheerful advices, especially from
Manchester. Selling was. in consequence, some
what checked, and recent "shorts" were inclined
to cover with some 6(247 points gained. Ist * in
the duy, however, the cable brought reports of
a panicky feeling on the Paris bourse, and this
caused a reaction, leaving closing rates only l(ft
2 points above last evening, with the general
tone easy."
