WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING YEWS )
Savannah. Ga.. Dec. 28, 1888. ’ f
General Remarks.— la the general market
during the past week it was comparatively dull.
This, of course, was due to its being holiday
week. There were no travelers on the road
and the jobbing trade was particularly slow in
consequence. Business among the small dealers,
however, was quite brisk and some
few rrport the heaviest trading
in several years at this time.
No movement of consequence is expected for
some time to come in the wholesale jobbing
trade as pretty much all are preparing to take
stocks and balancing up accounts preparatory
to summing up the year’s business. In the dry
goods trade there was nothing doing except
receiving spring stocks. In groceries there was
only a small business had. There
was a fair demand in hardware, in
all other lines the movement is
rather sluggish. There were very few changes
in values, the moet important being the decline
in grain and nails. Collections continue unsat
isfactory. The money market has become
somewhat easy, although reports from New
York indicate a tightening up of the market
there. There was no activity in the security
market, money not being quite easy enough to
invite speculation, while there is little going on
for investment account. The following resume
of the week’s business will show the tone and
the latest quotations of the different markets at
the closing hour to-day:
Naval Stores.— The market for spirits tur
pentine was quiet during the week, but prices
held steadily at 43J4c for regulars. There was a
fair demand, with moderate offerings. The
total sales for the week were about 1,700 casks.
Kosin—The. market was firm, with agood, steady
inquiry. The sales for the week were about
10,000 barrels. Elsewhere will be found awe k
ly comparative statement of receipts and ex
ports from the beginning of the season to date,
and for the same period last year, showing the
stocks on hand and on ship board not cleared,
together with the official closing quotations.
Cotton.— The market was very dull through
out last week, and for the most part nominal,
influenced by the holiday and the closing up of
the exchanges for a part of the week in the
leading markets There is a large stock in
first hands, while the demand is slow
and indifferent; prices are correspondingly
weak, anil on Thursday were reduced l-16e all
around. The total sales for the week were 4,850
bales. The following are the official closing
spot quotations of the Cotton Exchange:
Middling fair 9%
Good middling 9)4
Middling 8 15-16

bags. The exports were 1,061 bags, of
which 640 bags were for Liverpool and 421 bags
to northern mills. There were also 106 bags

markably steady fora holiday week, and prices
were fairly well maintained, notwithstanding
the very heavy receipts. • The above business

bales upland and 7.263 bales sea island last year.
Riok —During the past week the market was
essentially unchanged. It was more or less
influenced by the season, still there was a
somewhat tetter inquiry than was anticipated,
and some little business doing. Holders remain
firm in their views, and have no difficulty in
maintaining present prices. The sales during
the week were fully 800 barrels.

The usual holiday dullness overtook the
market to-day, and the narrowness of dealings
was quite a contrast to the activity of earlier
days of the w> ek. At the same time there was
more strength, though ciiefiy confined to a few
leaders, aud was completely neutruJz <1 by late
transactions. London came lower this morn
ing. and bad a few selling orders in the market,
and some weakness was manifested at tbe open
ing. London, however, turned over to the bull
side, and, while there was uo important buying
iu the general list, there was agood specula
tive buying of New England and St. Paul,
which rallied the list, a id as little of the news
affectiug prices was of a favorable character, a
general frac! ional improvement resulted all
around. When it berime known that the
dividend on Lackawanna was the usual Ifo a
feeling of disappointment, with the advance of
the rale for ca 1 money to 8 per cent., chucked
the bullish feeling, and dullness, with a sag
ging tendency, prevailed, which developed into
a decided weakm ss toward the close on
real zir.g by traders, with some short selling.
Cotton Oil was a marked feature, and, at one
time, was 2 per cent, higher than its lowest
price, but the tone is very una ttled. Reading
was tbe only one of the coaler* showing any
animation, and it was especially weak in the
last hour. The result of the day's trading Is to
leave prices Irregularly, but onlv slightly
changed from last evening’s figures. The highest
price* were reached toward noon, when the
strength in Cotton Oil was developed, but
money ran up to 8 per cent, after that time,
and the improvement was checked and the
m irket bts-ame dull until the last hour, whi n
activity and weakness made their appearance
The close was active and weak. Total sales

Hubbard. Price A Co.’s cotton circular says:
‘'Liverpool advices are without effect upon our
market, as gradual liquidation has been con
stant during the day. Each successive drop
seems to bring upon the market cotton held
upon stop ord-rs, and thereby further depress
ing prices. The feature of the dav was the sale
of 4,000 Marches at 68 by a prominent house,
and thus precipitated the decline which fol
lowed. Interior recoipts continue on an ex
ceedingly large scale, a id cotton arriving at the
ports is much in excess of last season’s de
liveries."
