COMMERCIAL. MARKET. WEEKLY REPORT. OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS, I Sayaekah. Ga.. Sept. 28. 1888. f Oeeeral Remarks.—The position of affairs in the peneral market is assuming a much more satisfactory shape. There is a freer movement of the cotton crop, while there Is a prospect of a oonaiderable modification of the hitherto rigor ous quarantine regulations and that supplies will be allowed to go forward more freely and greater dispatch, as in some parts of Florida the people are suffering for lack of sup plies. There is great complaint among jobbers of a slowness of collections from the interior. j t i 8 believed. however, that they improve during next month. Busi ness In pretty nearly all departments was quite brisk and a very satisfactory move ment was had, although there was less urgency }n orders from nearby territory owing to its being the closing week of the month There was a better tone to values and they were well and steadily held with but few exceptions. The demand in the grocery and provision trades continues qufte heavy and the wholesale jobbers are kept very busy in meeting their daily orders by mail and wire. For dry goods there was a slightly better de mand, stimulated by the few days of cooler weather. In all other branches the shipping movement was pretty even and fairly satisfac tory. There is a very active demand for money, while the supply is barely suffi cient to meet the wants of regular customers of the banks at current rates. Securities con tinue active for investments, the preference being for long-date bonds and guaranteed stock. The following review of the week’s business will show the tone and the latest quotations of the different markets to-day: Naval Stores.—' Tim market for spirits tur pentine was quiet during the past week.

Rice.—The market during the last week was necessarily quiet, owing to the small receipts and the lightness of the offering stock of clean.

Con trary to the expectation of bulls, London was seller to a considerable extent in this market to-day, and that fact dampened the confident feeling somewhat, and throughout the day there was free liquidation of long accounts, which prevented the general list from ad vancing much. Heavy sales of New England, which all indications pointed to before the in side account, was also a serious clog on the bullish temper of the room. Traders were gen erally ranged upon the side of higher figures. The expected important meeting of tlie trunk line caused these stocks, and Vanderbilts espe cially, to bo very activ and strong. Igike Shore, Canada Southern, Michigan Central, New York Central aud Nickel Plate stocks all made hand some gains, which were held to the close. Gould stocks were more prominent than for a long time.

The wheat pit was again the c Miter of attraction to day. Theattendance was unusually large. The early session was noticeable for activity, and a large business was transacted in all of the various futures within a higher range of prices. But a desperate effort was made to break prices and the raid proved partially uccesaful. excepting for September future which ruled strong, and another 25c per bushel was added to the advance of yest-er day, at which figure that future was held. The opening for September was the same as the closing figures of yesterday and with 6c jumps prices struck Si 50, at, which figure the market rested, and at noon traders, who had control of the market, offered to effect settlements on that basis. The opening for deferred futures was about lc higher than yesterday's closing, and prices were further advanced aoout I4<fs%c for December and May, but liberal speculative offerings acted as a bulwark against a further advance. It soou developed t iat a ••raid” was to be made oil these deliveries. Offers were liberal enough to cause a break of l(j£l Oc tober futures in the meantime declining The weakness was assisted some by a report that some wheat was being shipped from St. Louis, so also to the rumor that wheat was en route from other point t.o Chicago. Prom the leciine noted the mart, t reacted but becamo weak again and finally settled off lc very quickly, ruling weak and closed 2c lower for October, lo\.*** for December and lower for .May than the closing figures yester day. Trading in corn was quite general, and the market was very active most of the session, a higher range of prices being es ablisbed.
