COM M KRCI Alj. SAVANNAH MARKET. WEEKLY UEPORT. OFFICE OF THE MOUSING NEWS. I Savannah, Ga., Dec. 23, 1387. f General Rfmakks—The general market during tbe past week was quite animated. There was a large influx of spot buyers in the markets brought hen; by the annual meeting of tile stockholders of the Central Railroad and Banking Company, aud the retail dealers particularly, drove a heavy business, being kept very busy throughout the •week. Wholesale jobbers were also more or less busily engaged in the distribution of holi day goods, and operations ran up into a prettv fair volume. Values continue, as a rule, quite steady, and but few changes have occurred in any of the leading staples. Of course the heaviest movement was in the grocery trade, the demand having kept up remarkably steady. In other departments there was more than is usually done at this season of the year. Actual wants, however, to a very large extent, formed the basis of the movement. Collections con tinue very slow. Tbe security market is inac tive, with but small offerings. The money market is inclined to stringency; there is a very active demand, caused by the large stock of cotton banked up here in the hands of both exporters and factors, the banks, however, have been enabled to meet requirement’s so far. The appendedfresume of the weeks 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 was irregular, but for the most part easier, aud prices were inclined to slough off. At the close of the week they were fully % c lower. There was a pretty fair demand and about 2,500 casks were disposed of during the week. Rosin—Tbe market during last week was comparatively quiet and prices were weak and declining. The sales for the week were about 13,000 barrels. In another column will lie 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 band and on shipboard not cleared, together with the official closing quotations. Rice—The market has undergone no change s nee last week. There was a good inquiry throughout the week, and the stock of clean was pretty well absorbed as offered. The mills have shut down for the present. Prices have been steadily maintained, the week closing with s very firm feeling prevailing. The total sales for the week were about 1,000 barrels on the bisis of quotations small job lots are held at %c. to %e. higher.

'Exporters are apparently short of orders while buyers for domestic ac count are taking only iu a limited way. Controlling markets show considerable strength and prices are higher than a week ago, but this condition of affairs obtains no response in our market, owing to the very heavy and ac rumula in r stocks In factors’hands. The total sales for the week were 8,250 bales.
