OFFICE MORNING NEWS, I
Savannah, Feb. 21. 1300. \
'Jsveralßewarxs.—The general market dur
ing the last was somewhat quieter than
f r the week before. There was, however, a
pretty good demand prevailing a:nong jobbers,
and quite a fair business doing. Orders from
travelers ara coming to hand steadily.
w ile transaction on the whole
were rather small from personal se
lection. The shipping movement was
in pretty full volume and in the aggregate
larger than last year There were few features
worthy of notice except the continuance of the
mild weather, which is rather hastening the
sales of spring goods. Tue course of values in
the leading staples has been comparatively
steady, being higher for cotton and lower for
naval stores and provisions. The money market
is very easy. Domestic exchange continues
steady, while foreign is rather irregular
and unsettled. Collections are pretty steady,
but slow, owing to the disposition of interior
buyers to make only partial payments on ac
counts, when they should he closing them up.
The security market is dull for the moment,
with stocks offering freely. In the dry goods
trade there is a quieter feeling, but with steady
dealings, and all cotton fabrics are quite
firm. In groceries business showed a
substantial improvement, and orders arrived
freely, whilj provisions continue to move
slowly. Hardware—The demand is still of a
favorable charac er and there is a pretty full
trade doing. In lumber the business is quite
active and the mills still report increased orders.
Building materials are also moving out freely
from first hands, while in other
branches the trade is about as well as
could be expected at this time. The following
review of the week’s business will show the
tone and the latest closing quotations of the
different markets to-day:
Naval Stores.—Toe market for spirits tur
pentine was rather dull during last week, and
r rices have be<*n more or less weak, influenced
by the increased receipts. There was a slow
aod indifferent demaud. and the market c'oscd
tn-day steady at for regulars, a full de
ine of 94c. The total sale* were about
fi barrels. Rosin—The very heavy receipts
for the past week cause i the market to become
quieter, an I caused prices to gradually slump
off. Tnere was also some restriction in the de
mand, owing to the too rapid advance of the
previous week. At the cl >sing the market was
; nil, with prices lower for all
grades than awe *k ago. The total sales for
the week were fully 12,000 barrels. Els where
will be found a weekly comparative table of the
receipts and exports from the begin..ing of the
season to date, and for the same time last
year, showing the stocks on hand and shipboard
not cleared, together with the official closing
quotations.
Cotton—The market was very quiet during
last week. There was only a small demand,
while the stock availab'e was very light, and
holders were asking full values on all offerings.
Tne week opened at an advance of 1-16 (&% on
grad s above good ordinary, since which time
prices have been firmly maintained, the market
closing quiet. The recipts at the ports and in
ter or towns shows some slacking up. and the
Jailing off at this time of the year
is above the average. The total
saies for the week were 2.475 bales. The foliow
ing are the official closing spot quotations of

The exports were 156 bags, distributed a'* fol
lows: To Havre 80 bag-, to northern mills 76
bags. The total sales for the week were only !55
bags. There was a very slow inquiry and the
business small, and confined mostly to grades
of medium fl >e and below-. The stock snows
some slight accumulation in first hands, but is
pretty wll held. Tne 111 rket closed quiet and
dull at the following quotations:

upland and 2,248 bales sea island, against 74,671
bales upland and 1.532 bales pea island last year.
Rice.—During last week there was not so
muon inquiry as for the previous we<*k. Hold
er.-. however, were quite firm in their views, and
all offerings were generally at a shade higher
than quotations. The receipts are still falling
short of an.icip&tions, whica gives considerable
strength to the position of tiie market, and the
large holders are not inclined to force opera
tions for the time being. The sales during week
were about 1.275 barrels. There is a good de
mand for seed rice, and planters are already
making preparations for the next season.

The stock market was more active to-day
than for weeks past, and the increase of bum
ness was made at the expense of values, more
of tne active stocks showing material losses as
a result of the day’s trading than on any day
since the present decline began. Several heavy
drives were made against the list, and every
one had the effect of bringing down quotations,
and rallies as a rule were i-raill ami feeble. Tiie
feeling at the o|*cning was more hopeful, but
bears soon got to work, and one after another
of the large shares was attacked, all yielding
more or less readily. The principal dependence
of bears, however, was upon the bank state
ment, the well-known absorption of money by
the treasury during the past week creating a
confident expectation that the banks must
show* a material loss of money. These expecta
tions were not disappointed, and the loss t * tiie
banks exceeded even the anticipations. Early
attacks were made with tins influence as the
prime moving cause, and although after the
issue of the Siatement there was a halt in the
drop for some time, the pressure was soon
resumed, and still lower figures were reached
in the afternoon. New England, Burlington,
and trusts came in for thi hulk of the pressure
to-day, but in Rock Island tnere was every evi
dence of liberal covering of shorts under cover
of weakness in the general list. The stock was
less active than usual of late, but its fluctua
tions were on a much smaller scaio an I its
prices was stubbornly maintained throughout
the day. Louisville and NashvilU was nn
doubtly sold short against the issue of new
stock, and its friends were not sanguine of hold
ing it up in v.ew of the large increase in stock
to come upon tho market. The strong features
of the market were ©oal stocks, which were
held firm on comparatively small transactions,
though they yielded slightly to the last drive
on the last hour. Trusts were depres eJ, with
tho general list in the early portion of the day.
but met with most pronounced support towards
the close, as did also New Englan I, and the e
stocks closed close up to their opening figures.
Tennessee Coal, alter a rally from its depres
sion of yesterday, made another phenorn v nl
drop of 8 percent., carrying preferred stock
witn it this time, but as usual a portion of the
loss was recovered lat *r in the day. Jerw ty
Central and the new specialty, Edison General
El ctric, wore strong spots in the market, and
both stand apart fro u the rest of the list in
showing advances this evening. The final rally
in the last hour did not last ail dav out, and the
market closed fairly active and weak at or
near the low wt price* of tho day. Trading iu
; rhe lived stock* reached .KM.OdO shares T'n

The Sun's cotton review says: "Cotton
futures declined smartly in the morning hour.
Liverpool came only slightly lower, but her
statistical proportion was an element of weak
ness, showing as it did a supply for that market
about 2 0,000 bales iu excess of last season, and
some of our bulls lost confidence. Resides,
early reports of interior receipts were pretty
full at 0 or 7 poiuts decline, the selling move
mnt ceas'd, a recovery of 3or 4 points fol
lowed, bulls showing a disposition to gi e values
a little toss fiotu the pure force of habit, but
when large port receipts were bulletined, the
market weakened again."

Chicauo, Feb. -1. —There was quit" a large
business transacted luring the early part of tue
session at weak and declining prices, but there
W'aa less doing, and the niarset was steady at
the decline during the latter half. The opening
was at about the eliwiag figures of yesterday,
but tliey ruled weak and declined with only
slight fluctuations, became steadier, and closed
*4c lower than yesterday. Tee dec ine was at
tributed, it was claimed, chiefly to the working
of early Livemool dispateln-s. which quoted the
market for February wneat "collapsed" owing
to arrivals. Operators commene *1 to sell quite
freely, and confidence in the market here was
badly shaken for a time. It seems that owing
to Feinted arrivals ou account of adverse
weather a sort of "squeeze” vras under way in
California wheat iu Liverpool, and Increased
arrivals caused a tilling of contracts, aa l
merely tho advance of Thursday was lost. This
is the explanation made by iiersous who are
doing business for foreign parties. In corn a
moderate speculative trails was reported, anil
the feeling devel p 1 i was weaker, much lower
prices being established. The weaker tone of
wheat, together ivitn cold weather, which was
looked upon as fnrorable tor improved grading,
induced short selling by part .es who covered
their outstanding contracts the past two days.
The market opened a shade under yesterday's
tinal quotations, was easy and sold off a-.e lower,
ruled steadier and • closed fgi&tuc lower than
v-ulerduy. Oats w ere active but weaker and
lower ou all deliveries. There was increased
selling by longs, and no demand ot consequence,
except from shorts, but their purchases were
not of sufficient magnitude to Mistnbi prices
under liberal general s dling, anil a recession of
1 - ' me resulted, and the market closed weak at
inside tlgun-A. Iu mess pork trading in futures
wasofsimill volume, a.td nothing was done iu
deliveries this side of May. Tho market was
weaker early and prices declined slightly, but
the lost ground was fully recovered, anil there
was a steady tli ugh extremely quu-t closing,
laird was quite weak, as there were liberal
offerings of May and deferred futures, and only
a moderate demand. The net decline was 2(*c.
iu short rib sides a moderate amount of interest
was displayed, but prices were weak and the
closing ngures at the bottom.
