SAVANNAH MARKETS.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE MORNING NEWS. 1
Savannah. May 23. ISM. I
General Remarks—The past week in the gen
eral market was a very quiet one. with little to
relieve the monotony of the usual summer dull
ness prevailing at this time. The principal
•Matures of the markets were the firmness in
cotton and naval stores, and the slight reaction
in all food products, which show a declining
tendency. The money market, while not to say
easy, is in somewhat better condition than it
was, and the banks are managing to supply
their regular customers. Collections are again
g ow and failures are being reported in the in
terior with more than the usual frequency. The
demand from out of town buyers was iu pretty
fair volume, and the movement of general
merchandise is even better than the average
for this time of the year. The most activity
noticeable was in the wholesale grocery trade.
Orders are arriving steadily and the shipping
movement is quite fair. The provision trade is
somewhat duller than heretofore. In dry goods
there was very little doing and jobbers will be
soon making preparations for their fall
stocks. Hardware business as a whole is
light and most houses are engaged in taking
stocks. The lumber trade keeps up a very
steady traffic, and shipments are quite heavy.
The demand tor building materials is also very
good. In other departments there is a fair
amount of business in progress. Securities are
quiet, though with a fair inquiry for a few of
the leading securities and local stocks for
investment. The following resume of the
week's business will show the tone and thj
latest closing quotations of the different mar
kets to-day:
Naval Stores. —'The market for spirits tur
pentine was firm during tho past week, and
prices advanced steadily, opening the week at
34}$c. for regulars; it sold up to 35tic., but
closed to-day firm at 33c. There was a tair de
mand, but the offerings were barely sufficient
to meet the current inquiry. The total sales for
the week were about 3,500 barrels. Rosin—
the market ruled quite steady throughout the
week, and the demand has continued fair. The
receipts show a considerable increase over list
year, but the stock is moving out liberally,
which keeps the supply well in hand, and
prices are fairly firm. The sales for the week
were about 10,000 barrels. In another col
umn will be found a weekly comparative table
of receipts and exports from April 1 to date,
and for a like period last year, showing the stock
on hand and on shipboard not cleared, together
with the official closing quotations.
Cotton.— The spot market was quiet, but
prices were strong and advanced steadily dur
ing the week, closing to-day quiet and firm,
with ciuotations fully %c higher in all grades.
The demand was quite slow, while
the offerings are very small and
the stock well in band. The receipts at the
ports, though small, were slightly heavier in
comparison with last year’s, but the belief is
that the very high price for spot cotton has
forced the increased receipts, which will soon
be exhausted. Controlling markets are quite
strong yet, but there appears to be some dis
trust among speculators, and fears of a reaction
in the near future are entertained. The total
sales this week were 200 bales, at the following
official quotations of the cotton exchange:
Good middling 12
Middling 11-34
Low middling 11 Vfj
Good ordinary 10}$
Sea Islands— Factors report the receipts for
the week at 7 bags and the sales 12 bags. Tne
exports were 91 bags, all to Liverpool. There
was nothing new to report in tne market during
the week, and the business was only scattering,
including all sorts There is hardly any stocs
to speak of in first hands and prices were
pretty well maintained. The above sales were
on the basis of quotations:
Good stapled seedy cotton 21}5®22%
Good medium 21%
Medium fine 22
Fine 23
Extra fine to choice 21
The receipts of cotton at this port from all
sources the past week were 1,550 bales of up
land and 7 bales sea island, against 321
bales of upland and 4 bales sea island last
year.
The particulars of the receipts have been as
follows: Per Central railroad. 879 bales up
land; per Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way, 158 bales upland and 7 bales sea
island; per Savannah river steamers 3 bal-s
upland; per Charleston and Savannah railway.
inS bal -s upland, per Darien and Altanmha
steamers 4 bales upland.
The exports for the week were 4.165 bales of
upland and 91 bales of sea island, moving as
follows: To New York. 2,695 bales upland and
91 bales sea island; to Boston. 467 bales upland;
to Baltimore 1,003 bales upland. The stock
on hand to-day was 7,868 bales upland and 191
bales sea island, against 1,758 bales upland and
926 bales sea island last year.
Rice.—The market was very firm throughout
the week, with quite an active inquiry, and all
the available stock of clean on the market
changed hands. The total sales for the week
were fully 2,500 barrels. The receipts of rough
this week were about 1,000 bushels, which,
a-lded to the amounts in the mills, makes
about 13,000 bushels in stock yet to be milled
out, which will form the nucleus of supply for
the balance of the season, although it is ru
mored that there is a considerable amount of
the foreign grain on the way here. The above
sale3 were on the basis of quotations. Small job
lots are held at }s@%c. higher.

The stock market to day showed a marked
faliing off in business and a corresponding Ue
cl ne in the Interest taken in speculation, very
few stocks f " day fluctuating over a ran ;o of
more tian a fract on, whilj movements in the
general Ist wore devoid o; feature of Interest.
There was no excitement, ho -vever, such as has
marked the dealings almost- every day for the
past month, and only in Sugar Refineries.which,
with Citizen * Ga-* of Brooklyn, was tie only
stock showing any wide fluctuation, was there
any approach to any such thing Imho regu! ir
list Grangers were still the most pro nincut
features, and soon after the opening to-day they
b -came strong and advanced upon reports that
there was to be an increase of rates. By noon,
however, it b -came known t-iat there was noth
ing in the rum rs, and Grange: s sold down
again. St. Paul, Rock Island, and Lake Erie
a id Western common were strong features to
day, and the first named moved up sharply
toward noon, but failed to maintain its advant
age during tae latter portion of the day.
Atchison was as a rule weak, and, with Rteh
m ind and West Point, sagged away slowly but
steadily, tioiign t i-> luu -r received good sup
port arouud 26 until lit: ia the afternoon. The
market ii the afternoon possessed less animi
tio i and showed smaller H ictuations tnan at
any tun? within the past mouth, and at times
became positively dull Toe usu il Fridav reali
zit ons, witn some selling by Ismdon, caused
the marxet to give way in the last hour, though
Sugar Kelln- rivs was extram-ly weak at tirn-s,
and the c!o *■> was quiet but heavy to weak gen

The Nun cotton review says; “Futures
opened at a pretty smart advance. Liverpool
ca ne unexpecctedly strong. Tnen came the
announcement of the closing of that market
from to-day till next Wednesday for Whitsun
tide holidays, and it wa* seen tltat the improve
ment in futures there was probably due to a
demand to cover contracts over these holidays.
Hence there was with us a good deal of selling
to realize, under which most of the early ad
vance was lost. August was the only active
month. Weather report* from the south con
tinue very favorable, and next crop was neg
lected, though show iug no decided weakness.
Cotton on spot was dull and prices were barely
maintained.’’

Chicago, May 21.—Trailing in wheat was
active to day. and the feeling was very nervous
aid unsettled. Buying orders were numerous
and offerings were iig it. It was a wild market,
and July made ripid tracks toward £l. The
open.ng was a trill ■ easy, with first sales of July
%® *sc below yesterday’s closing, but quickly
started upward, an I advanced 2}sc above inside
figure-, belli firmly, and closed l>sc higher than
yesterday. Tue advance was spasmodic. August
advanced 2c and September !%c. and closed l%c
high r than yesterday. Conversion to the bull
side of some of the prominent floor traders,
who usually operate the b ar side, has helpi i
to advance the mark-t to its present lovel. Crop
news from winter wheat districts continue to
come in bad. slany operators exjiecto 1 a re
action to-day, thinking that crop prospects had
been discounted, bur. in this they found they
were mistaken. Rain was again reported iu
tne northwest, and spring wh**at prospects are
good. Tnero was a fair trade within narrow
limits in corn, the market ruling active at
times. The fesuag was on the whole weaker,
the undertone being a little heavy, though no
decline of cousequ nee was noted. Opening and
closing sales were at }s®%c under the closing
prices of yesterday. Oats were fairly active
and higher, especially for May, which advanced
!%c, with very light trading. More deferred de
liveries were also stronger, and advanced %®
}sc. and outsiJo prices were fairly maintained
until the close. Trading in pork was chiefly in
June and July contracts, and transfer? were
made at 15®17}$c difference. Traling in lard
•was fairly active, and the feeling was easy early
in the day. Prices declined 2}s®sc Later the
feeling was steadier, and prices rallied slightly.
There was a fair business in short ribs. Prices
ruled 2}s®sc lower early, igiter the market
was steadier, and prices rallied slightly.
