SiVASSAH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE MORNING NEWS. I
Savannah, March 14. 1890. t
General Remarks.—Business in the general
psrket during the past week has reached a very
r , Njjeetable aggregate. and values as a rule have
ha i firm support. Appearances, however, to
an outsider were apparently quiet. Jobbers
aa i distributors reported liberal sales,
aa.l the shipping movement in vol
ume showed some increase. The recent
short spell of cold weather rather stimulated
interior buyers, and there was a marked im
provement in the character of orders now
coming to hand. Collections are in much bet-
shape, and country merchants as well as
i ie local dealers seem to be meeting their
obligations very promptly. The money market,
while not stringent, is by no means
easy, and the demand Is very
active. Both domestic and foreign
exchange is somewhat steadier. The security
market was comparatively quiet, with but little
doing either in bonds or stocks. The movement
Iri groceries continues to show decided improve
ment, and a fairly heavy business was had.
The demand for provisions has also taken a
turn for the better. The trading in hardware
still keeps up fairly well, and sales are
quite satisfactory, and the same
may be said of the business in
building materials and lumber orders for the
latter keep on a steady increase. Fertilizers
are also moving out very freely. The dry
poods movement was only fair, and orders are
slacking up; the bulk of the spring trade, how
tver, is about accomplished. In other branches
there was about the uusal trading at this time.
Toe following resume of the week's business
will show the tone and the latest closing quota
tions of the difierent markets at the closing
hour to-day:
Naval Stores.— The market for spirits tur
pentine was quiet during last week, and prices
ruled steady until to-day, when they closed firm
and advanced )4e. There was only a moderate
inquiry, with a small business doing. The stock
in first hands is comparatively light and factors
are firm holders. The total sales for the week
were about 900 casks. Rosin—The market was
fairly firm throughout last week, and prices of
I and below were advanced 2)4(®5e. There was
a good steady inquiry, while the offerings,
although not large, were fully ample
for requirements. The total sales for the week
were about 7,600 barrels. In another column
will be found a weekly comparative table of the
receipts and exports from the beginning 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 for the past week was
quiet. It was, however, very firm, and holders
were asking fully l-10(®)4c higher than current
quotations. There was a steady inquiry and a
slightly better business doing than for the pre
vious week, although the stock In first hands is
very much reduced, while local receipts
ore steadily falling short, and there is no room
for any extensive trading. Controlling markets
have been somewhat stronger of late while the
firmness of factors here has strengthened
values, and prices have been forced up 1-16(®
3-16 all around, the heaviest advance being in
the middling grades, which are most sought
after, and there is some scarcity. The total
rales for the week were 2,535 bales. The spot
market closed to-day steady at- the following
official quotations of the cotton exchange:
Middling fair Nominal
Good middling 11
Middling 1013-18
Low middling 10 9-16
Good ordinary 9 18-16
Sea Island —The total receipts for the week
tip to 4 p. m. as reported by factors were
120 bags and the sales only 3 [bags.
The exports were 308 bags. distrib
uted as follows: To Liverpool 202 bags, to
northern mills 106 bags. The market has been
very dull and nominal throughout the wftek.
There was little or no inquiry, and buyers are
apparently without orders, although it is
rumored that the entire stock in Jacksonville
was taken this week by a buyer from this mar
ket. In the absence of business our quotations
may be regarded as nominal:
Good stapled seedy cotton 22 @22)4

hales sea island, against 53,272 bales upland
and 1,035 bales sea island last year.
Rice.— The market has continued quite dull
during the past week and prices have been
easier except for the commoner sorts, which
have been in most request and are scarce. The
better qualities are offered freely an 1 quota
tions are shaded slightly when any positive busi
ness offers. There is quite a good demand
for seed rice, and exceptional lots bring fairly
good prices. The total sales of clean for the
week were about GOO barrels. Considerable in
terest is manifested in this market as to the ex
tent of the damages, if any, in Louisiana by
the floods prevailing there.

Tne sLock market was quiet to-day, except
during the first half hour's trading, and opera
tions were generally confined to the professional
element, resulting in small fluctuations and no
material change for the day, outside of a few
specialties. Both sides in the market were evi
dently waiting for the appearance of the bank
statement to-morrow. In the market this
morning the influence of the decline of yester
day afternoon was still uppermost, and the
opening was weak and feverish at small frac
tional concessions from last evening's figures.
Reports in regard to Chicago are that yester
day's drop was engineered in the interest of
would-be buyers, and that the special committee
of the Chicago council meets to-morrow to con
sider tho motion for a repeal of the city ordi
nances against the trust. The declaration of
the usual dividend in Now York Central, with
the fact that the report for the quarter shows a
surplus of $14,009, against a deficit of $325,' 0)
for the same quarter last year, gave an impetus
to the buying of Vanderbilts, and I.ake Shore
became more active at advancing figures, aided
by recent reports of the road's heavy tonnage,
in the afternoon coal stocKs w*r * pushed up,
and a spurt of 1 percent, in Reading resulted,
although the improvement was not all h it.
The only really weak spot in the list was Ten
nessee Coal, which in the early trading made
one of its famous drops, and after opening 2
per cent, down at 51t{, it fell away rapidly to
6, the decline being accomplish and 1 per cent, a
a time on the execution or numerous stop or
ders. At the lowest point supporting orders
appeared and a rally to 4S was had. It liter
declined to 47)4, bu afterward fluctuated be
tween 48 and 49 for the remainder of the day.
Sugar Refineries was fairly active again, with
considerable selling under rumors that no div i
dend would be paid. Tne final loss was iusig
nificaot, however. l.ate in the day a better
feeling prevailed all over the room, and prices
crawled up slowly, the market finally closing
dull but firm at about last night’s figures.

Tho Sun's cotton review says: ’Cotton
futures opened groggy, as sailors would express
it. Liverpool disappointed tho bulls, and two
parties who have been leading simulators on
that side, finding themselves bears, began sell
ing right and left. Prices soon gave way, and
the decline was not arrested until 6®B |mints
had been lost. Then came the usual buying
to cover and some buying by parties in New
Orleans, that market being relatively dearer
than ours, but at 3®4 points the recovery was
barely steady. Cotton on spot was easy.’’

Chicago, March 14.—Wheat was quiet. A
large business was trinsacted, and the feeling
was nervous, part icularly so during the early
part of the session. The market was very
sensitive,and yielded readity to bull influences.
The opening was rather excited, and
higher for May, declined %®V6c, sold up Hc,
then fell back MjC again, advanced, and closed
9kC higher than yesterday. July delivery for a
tune snowed a proportionately greater ad
vance than May, the former selling to a point
1c higher than yesterday; while May showed
advance. This extra spurt in July was at
tributed to rather free buying by St. Louis par
t es, who, it is ciaime 1, were heavily short for
that delivery. A prominent local trader was
reported as having, sold considerable wheat at
top prices. The weather bureau again pre
dicted cold weather, and this to a c nsiderable
extent stimulated buying, especially shorts,
who were rather nervous at the ease with
w hich the market responded to the buying of
the day or two. Some reports of damage
to crops were again received from Tennessee,
Kentucky and Michigan. The 11l.nois state de
partment of agriculture reported a full variety
of wheat in Central and Southern Illinois as
having been damaged. The reported inquiry
for export both here and at the seaboard hail
some effect on the market. * Corn ruled quiet
the greater part of the session, nothing new of
importance being developed, and values showed
little change compared with yesterday. Opera
tions were almost exclusivtdy local, and the
feeling prevailing was firm. Toe market
opened at yesterday’s cl* *ing prices, was
steady for a time, tuen advanced a little, be
came strong, closing *4®V4c higher than yester
day. Oats were traded in to a moderate extent,
and a quiet and steady feeling prevailed. A
prominent operator was liberal seller, and ac
commodated all buyers who appearo I and pre
vented marked fluctuations In prices. Price*
for March were bid up vfrc, but only a few sales
were male. There is little disposition Pi trade
iu near and liver ■<** since price* could be up 14®
Vv' without gettiug many oats. In meesi*ork a
fairly active trade was reported, accompanied
with frequ-ut flu-tuations in preen. Price*
op ne i 5® 7tie high *r for May. a id a further
appreciation of 15® 17Mj *** later an
easier feeling was defio|*ed, and pne-s settled
back again 7® 10c, and dosed rather steady.
Other deliveries met with some favor, and sold
At 7(%®m* advance. Lard was moderately
active, and the feeling was firmer. Prices
ruled 71* r, ik* higher, but reeded 2t*®so
during lue latter part of the session, though
the market closed steady. In short ribs the
market attracted considerable attention, ami
trading was quite brisk, though prices were
somewhat irregular Prices ruled 5®71%c
