COMMERCIAL. * ’ " SAVANNAH MARK??! 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. The receipts of cotton at this port from all sources the past week were 30,198 bales of up land and 1,254 bales sea island, against 31,714 bales of upland, and 1,902 bales sea island last year.
