SAVANNAH MARKETS.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE MORNING NEWS. )
Si Y ASX AH. May 16. 1890. t
General Remarks—'The general market dur
jjjy tie last wees was very quiet, and. in fact,
era ling has about settled down to its usual
summer basis. There were very few features
of moment except, apparently, that a general
paction baa set in in most of toe markets and
r ices, sritb some few exceptions, show a lower
tea ieucy. The continued stringency of the
money market is a source of considerable com
plaint, and Is beginning to hamper trading to
some extent. The demand in the jobbing trades
has fallen off steadily, and there are fewer
Signs Of activity in any of the
departments. The demand for groceries keeps
uo steadily, and there was a good business
doing; in provisions it was very dull, as also in
drv goods. In hardware there was a fair trade
going on. The lumber trade is also making
good progress, and there is a good movement
iu building materials. In all other branches
there is about the usual amount of trade for
the seasoD. Collections are again slacking up.
./he security market is again stagnant, owing
to tight money. The following resume of the
week's business will show the tone and the
latest dosing quotations of the different mar
kets to day:
Naval Stores. —The market for spirits tur
pentine was quiet and firm at the opening of
the week, and regulars sold up to , but
gradua lv became weaker under heavy receipts
and steadily fell off until, at the close to day,
it was reported firm at 34J4c. There was
a fairly steady inquiry, though rather
indifferent, but on the daily decline
in prices buyers accepted offerings pretty
freely and fully 4.00D casks changed hands dur
ing the week. Rosin—The market was some
what steadier at a slight decline of 5c for
strained to good strained and the extreme pale
grades. There was a fair demand, which was
met quite free!.', and there was a good business
doing. The total sales for the week will ap
proximate 14,'.00 barrels. In another col
umn will be found a weekly comparative table
of receipts and exports from April 1 to date,
and for a like period last year, showing the stock
on hand and on shipboard not cleared, together
with the official closing quotations.
t'ottos.— I The market during last week was
rather dull, and the offering stock too limited
for anv heavy trading. The demand was quite
slow, although all offerings were steadily taken.
Most holders, however, were not dis
posed to force business, and iu con
sequence the current quotations were well
maintained. The receipts at the ports as well as
the supply at ini erior t owus are unprecedentedly
light, which serves to hold up vain -s in controll
ing markets quite steadily. The total sales for
the week were 665 bales, at the following spot
quotatiors of the cotton exchange:
Good middling llAti
Middling 119s
Low middling 11%
Good ordinary 1014
Sea Island.— The receipts for the week up to
4 o’clock p. m., as report dby factors, were 21
bags, and the sales for the same time were 90
hags. Ti e exports were 232 bags, all to Liver
pool. The market was comparatively dull
and prices were unchanged, with the exception
of extra line to choice, which sold at 21c. The
market Is pretty well cleaned up of stock in
first hands, and the business well over for the
balance of the season. The above sales were
on the basis of quotations;
Good stapled seedy cotton 21 H@22!4
Good medium HI Hi
Medium fine 22
Fine J.. 23
Extra fine to choice 24
The receipts of cotton at this pert from all
sources the pas.t week were 1.261 bales of up
land and 21 hales sea island, against 378
hales of upland and 2 bales sea island last
vear.
The particulars of the receipts have been as
follows: Per Central railroad. 1,127 bales up
land; per Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way, ’Bl bales upland and 21 bales sea
island; per Savannah river steamers 4 bales
upland; per Charleston and Savannah railway.
1 bales upland, per Darien and Altamaha steam
ers 1 bale upland.
The exports for the week were 1.893 bales or
upland and 232 bales of sea island, moving as
follows: To New York. 1,064 biles upland and
332 bales sea island; to Boston, 816 bales upland;
to Pnila lelpbla, 13 bales upland. The stock
on band to-day was 10,483 bales upland and 215
bales sea island, against 5,403 bales upland and
1,028 bales sea island last year.
Rice. —The market was quiet and very steady
during the week. There was a good Inquiry
throughout, and pretty much all the stock of
clean in the mii s was absorbed, both for
Charleston and local account. The small stock
now remaining is barely sufficient
for the home trade, and as the stock is strongly
hel lit is believed that there will be no diffi
culty in maintaini g present values. The
total sales for the week were fully 1,700 barrels,
at about the following quotations. Small job
lots are held at )fc®)4c. higher.

Ihe stock market presented about the same
amount of business to-day as yesterday, but
the reactionary temper was replaced by a more
confl lent feeling, notwithstanding the tact lint
nrofos ionals and traiers were still working for
a further reaction. There was great irregularity
in the market, however, and a portion of tne
list was strong, while another portion was de
cidedly weak. and the course of prices was sub
je :ted to sudden ad sharp changes through
out. The general verdicL upon the ope atm.is
of the past few days is that the market has
shown remarkable staying powers, nnd that it
is booked for further material advance in near
futures. To-day there were also continued
realizations, which, with the aid of tue hammer
ing of bears and lack of support in a few of the
most prominent stocks, were sufficient to keep
the market in an unsettled arid variable condi
tion throughout the day-. Toe high rat :s ex
acted for monty also caused many s -iling or
ders iutiie afternoon, although tbev did not go
as nigh as yesterday, and loans made to-day
run till Monday. Toere is reason to bslieve.
110 sever, that the high rates of the last few
days have begun toattract finds to thticenter,
aud as Friday is usually the day of the highest
rates tor money, they will in all probtbility be
lower next wee c. The great b l ying power to
day was foreigners, who s nt liberal orders in
all ot their favorites, with the exception of
Louisville and Nashville, and though the pres
sure to sell at tli" opening was severe, higher
prices resulted from an excellent demand.
Union Pacific was the feature of other dealings,
aud it advanced nearly 1% percent., the tin
provement being accompankd by rumors of
new developments which will affect both Union
Pacific and Central Pacific, and the general
opinion was that the new issue of bonds 10 take
the place of tiie government loan at a lower
rate of interest would be the schema. Oregon
Transcontinental continued Its upward move
ment. and buying in New England was attri
buted to rumors of changes iu management and
new alliances. Atchison was spec.ally weak iu
early dealings, and Chicago Gas continued to
d-cline. being apparently without support.
Coal stoc s were quiet, with the exception of
Reading, and ail were firm, though Delaware
and Hudson lost some of its recent advance,
and is the only stock which shows any material
loss to-night. The buying demand fell away
after the opening, and ira Ipts again got prices
down in same cases below those of the opening,
but a firmer t >ne afterwa ds prevailed, and too
best prices were r ached toward noon. Money
rates then encouraged bears, and again prices
receded, but money was offered at 5 per cent,
in the last hour, and some improvement was
made, t..e market finally closing active and
firm, generally at smart fractional gains over
last nignt s figures. The sales of listed stocks
were 451.000 shares; unlisted. 120.0 X) snares.

'ilie Sun s cotton review says: “Futures
opened slightly easier for the whole list. and
the market was weak and unsettled till the
last call, tuen catnu a report that short notie. a
for May were being stopped, and rumors of a
projected corner lor July, both here nnd at
Liverpool. A goo l deal of noise, with some
buying, occurreJ, in wtiieh July was curried to
12)se iu t e face of the tteller that it would
never be allowed to rise above 12c. Next crop
was neglected because weat or reports from
tiie south were quite favorable to the young
plant. Cotton on spot was very firm an 1 fairly
active for spinning, although it was said that
many New Englanders are going on short
time.’’

about l%c higher than yesterday. August d--
livery closed !‘tf|o and Kepteitilier delivery 2)jc
higher t nan yesterday. The feeling throughput
the session was very nervous, and short interest
covered freely. Unfavorable news was received
from pretty near art directions. There were,
however, many doubters ot the news which
came to hand, and reports were somewhat con
flicting. Tnere was good t tiding in corn, prlc -s
fluctuating frequently within %c range.' Tne
fee ing was a little unsettled The market
opened weak, with tree selling by a prominent
local t rader, which ha 1 a very and 'pressln ; effect,

of yesterday, was easy for a time, became
stronger, selling up %c. reacted some, ruled
steady, and closed )4.q;ksc better thau yester
day. There was an excited market in oa.s
early in the day, inter, st for a time being cen
tered in May delivery. Prices were advanced 2c
from yester lay’s closing and sold to 29 dc; they
then reeo led %c, n ml the market, closed steady
at a net gain ot l%c over yesterday’s close.
Trading in pork was only moderate and the
feeling was weak. Prices declined 30@35c and
the market closed quiet at medium figures. A
