COMM KK<l .VI SA VANNAH_ MARKET. WEEKLY RXPORT ill OFFICE OF THU MORNING NEWS. I 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 the Board of Trade's official quotations. Small job lots are held at )6®)4c higher; Fair Good Prime 5% ©5% Bough— Country lots 95® l 10 Tidewater #1 15®1 80 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 Exchange: Middling fair 10% Good middling 9 15-16 Middling 9s* I,ow middling 9% Good ordinary 8% Ordinary 8% 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.

State bouds entirely neglected 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.

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.
