Savannah, Ga.. Dei;. 90. 1887. (
Mbf.nkhalßemarks—The general market dur
ing last week presented a rather dull and listless
after the Christmas holidays. The
gjKhiug trade was quite slow, there being but
fiw traveiers on the road, the majority of whom
jßuiain in abeyadbe waiting for the turn of the
'Stoar, and with it the close of the
qfe>!idays. The movement in volume,
.£|)otb in the retail and wholesale
department- was quite small, the wants of cus
tomers being pretty well exhausted by the pre
vious week's business. There were no changes
of any consequence in values during the week,
and the leading staples have held quite steady.
JAs is usual there was a napre or less steady de
*tnand in the grocery trine, but the shipping
jgmnvenient was confined to small orders for im-
Enediate necessities. The Dry Goods trade was
f very slack, there being literally no demand and
I jobbers were mostly engaged iu receiving
lapring goods, the movement of which will opeu
* up actively iu a week or two when travelers
| wiil be again on the road. In pretty nearly all
' other departments trade was pretty much at a
standstill. The security market was inactive
The money market shows more of a disposition
to ease off, the demand having ■slacked
up. Foreign exchange is strong, whtle domestic
has continued stedßy aud unchanged. 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 was strong and advancing during the
tiast week, hut buyers and sellers were more or
less apart, the latter showing a disposition to
contest the advance. The demand was good
but sales were light, owing to the
differences between buyers aud sellers.
At the close to-day prices showed
a full advance of lc. with holders asking
higher. The total sales for the week were at>out
1,200 casks. Rosin—The market continued com
paratively quiet throughout tho week, with
prices of the lower grades weak and lower.
The sales were about 5,200 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 iieriod last year, showing the stocks on
hand and on shipboard - not cleared, together
with the official closing quotations.
Rice—There was a fair inquiry for the week
and the market, ruled firm throughout. The
mills being still shut down and the small stock
of clean to be had serves to give strength to
values, which have been flrmly maintained.
Of course the shutting down of the mills is not
expected to cover any considerable length
of time, and for the time being holders
have the advantage, if anything. The sales for
the week were about 1,100 barrels, the bulk of
which was shipped on the steamer Pilot Boy
yesterday for Cliarleston. The following are

Cotton—Has continued quiet during last
week, while pricec were very steady and un
changed. There was only a limited demand,
which was mostly for Northern mills, exporters
for foreign account being apparently without or
ders to any great extent. There was a large stock
on the market which was freely offered, aud
which had the effect of preventing any advance
in prices, although the leading markets were
very firm and higher. The total sales for the
week were 6,050 bales. The following are the
official closing spot quotations of the Cotton

Sea Island— The receipts for the week, up
to 4 p.m., as reported by factors, were 1,888
bags, and the sales for the same time were 1,315
hags. There was a good demand throughout
t.he week, but the market was somewhat irregu
lar. The inquiry was mostly for medium tine to
fine* and was about equally divided for domestic
and foreign account. Sales of flue were at from

The stock market was excessively dull to
day, owing to the general Indisposition aiuoug
operators to trade to er three days holiday, to
which w as added uncertainty regarding the out
come of the Reading strike The latter, which
would ordinarily be a depressing influence,
failed of its effect by reason Of the general con
fidence that no block in the business of the ro id
would occur. Trading was of the smallest char
acter, and, beyond Reailiug and Vanderhl t*.
possessed no significance whatever. The im
pression became gi-neral before the op mlng
that, too dividends would not lie increased and a
rather heavy opening resulted, but prices ral
lied, and after the announcement of the divi
dends the only sales were those of traders who
had clung to the ideu of an increase. The same
feeling affected Lackawanna also, but the in
significance of the movement may Is- inferred
from the fact that only one stock to-day fluctu
ated as widely as 1 percent. Union Pacific tie
caine strong on a renewal of rumors of favora
hie Congressional action. New England. West
ern Union and Terminal were ail firm at times,
and towurd noon dealings were onllveued by u
sharp spnrt in Manitoba. The opening was
heavy at declines extending to J 4 per cent., but
very'dull, and quickly rallied, anil liefore noon
fractional advances had been established in
nearly all the active list. Disappointment over
Vanderbilt dividends checked tur nee and
the list sagged oft until early gains were gener
ally neutralized. The market then lieeame
stagnant uad remained without movement of
feature for the rest of the day. finally closing
dull and steady and close to the o|iening prices.
Total sales 1*7,000 shares. The dividends on

Green & Co.'s report on cotton futures says'
“Cotton certificates have found a quiet day und
business generally of a holiday character, on
which operators settled up all contracts that ap
peared dangerous to carry over until Tuesday,
to which date the Exchange adjourned. At one
ti 1 e the tone looked a little stiff on what ap
peared to be a better showing from abroad, but
upon discovering that the cable had been erro
neously posted the tendency became easier, and
so continued to the close, with some 4®5 points
decline shown. The port movement is a little
fuller t han calculations and the interior move
ment about as estimated, but neither carried
much influence, and the year closes on a#more
or Jess stupid market. 1 '
