TUKI.T REPORT.
OFFICE MORNING NEWS. I
Savanmh. Dec 19, 189a (
Omßii. Remarks.—ln the general market
during the past week, quietness prevailed to a
great extent. Among jobbers there was a
fairly good business accomplished, both from
travelers' orders as well as spot buyers, there
being a cumber of visitors from the
interior looking over the market. Of
course, the principal trading was most’y
in holiday good*.! although there
was considerable of the heavy goods selling
alsa There was no marked change in any
direction from a week ago. except that a better
feeling is discernible In financial matt*rs; and.
although money in the local market cannot be
said to be easy, there is a more
satisfactory and confident temper mani
fested in all circles, and the outlook is one
of promise. There is considerable complaint
of slow and small collections, but jobbers report
that interior merchants are displaying a com
mendable spirit in their efforts to make settle
ments by small remittances, and under the ro
wset stringency there were but very few failures
to report among country merchants. It is be
lieved that money will be very plentiful from
now on, by reason of the payments of railroad
dividends this month and interest due
in January. There were very
few- features outside of the mon
etary situation worthy of note. The
following resume of the week’s business will
show the tone and the latest closing quotations
of the different markets at the closing hour
to day:
Naval Stores.— The market for spirits tur
pentine was firm and advancing duriDg the past
wi ei under smaller receipts aud a more active
inquiry, caused by a better feeling in exchange.
At the close of the week most holders were in
clined to withhold stocks from sale, and toe
market closed at 3535 c paid and bid for regulars,
but offerings were held higher. The total sales
sales for the week were some 2,500 casks,
Rosin The market was quiet ana stetdy dur
ing the we k. The demand was rather slow and
is confined to low grade*, while others are en
tirely neglected, pales having declined. The
total sales for the week were about 6,00)
barrels. In another column wilt be found
a weekly comparative table of receipt* and ex
ports from April i to date, and for a like period
last year, showing the stock on hand and
on shipboard not cleared, together with the
official olosing qnotations.
Cottok —With the improved condition of
monetary affairs a better feeling wa* prevalent
in the spot market, aud a fairly steady demand
existed during the week. On the surface there
wax a quiet appearance to the market, but the
ULdertone was firmer, and holder* succeeded in
maintaining currant quotations. This was, of
course, attributed more, however, to the
smallness of the stock In first hands
than to any outside strength, as the
large receipts at the ports and anticipations of
still heavier receipts continuing over the holi
davs serve to depress .rices in controlling mar
kets. The total sales for this week were 8,975
bales. The following are the official spot quo
tations of the Cotton Exchange:

.Sea Islands— The receipts reported by factors
for the week up to 4 p. m. were
1.837 bags and 153 bags of through
cotton. The exports were only 78 bags, all to
northern mills. The total sales were 1,1144 bags.
The market was quiet and oasv. with business
for the week slightly more than factors' re
ceipts. With the present low prices It is thought
that no doubt consumption will be increased,
and even should the crop turn out to
be as large as the highest esti
mates all will be required. Should the low
figures continue througli the balance of the
Hea*son it is believed that it will caus.? farmers
to plant less the coming spring as values are
now three cents bel jW the cost of production
for FWidas and at or below that of Georgias.

The Nun s cotton review says: "Futures
opened I®2 points decline on n--nr and un
enunge-t on late mouths, closing steady at un
advance of 7 points on December and pari tally
I®2 points on other mouths from yesterday's
dosing prices. The market to-day was a regu
lar wiggle, i’ll,* opening showed some depres
►ion in early mouths under an easier rejiorl
from Liverpool; but that market recovered, and
figures for tao week rom many interior towns
began to show up comparatively small. Smart
buying followed to cover contracts, and sonn:-
thiog very like a ‘bull movement’ set in. Thor,
came a me viornndum from the editor of Brad
sfnW>, naying that be estimated tbecrop at
8.100,!>k) bales. This caused free selling, and a
drop of 2<a3 points. Figures for to-day from
the iuterTor now begin to come out. They
showed small totals, and renewed buoyancy in
futures was the result. The biggest advance
from the opening prices was in December op
turns, very few of which are coming out. Spot
cotton was fairly active for home consump
