WO. f General Remarks.—The weather lor Christ mas week was mild and pleasant, and while trading was fairly active in a retail way, it was less in volume than that of last year, which, of course, reflected the oondltions of private finan ces among consumers as indicated from a tight money market, and the weak and unsettled out look of foreign exchange. There was a very large number of visitors from the country In the market during the week, but holiday goods were mostly dealt in. and the jobbing trades were to a great extent neglected, the bulk of the or ders having been closed out the previous week. Collections continued slow, owing to the small business doing in the cotton market, and in some instances jobbers were accepting cotton in settlement of claims and disposing of it as best they could. The wholesale grocery trade report a very good movement in the seasonable and fancy goods. There is also a fair business doing in the lumber trade both in foreign and coastwise cargoes. The security market remains comparatively inactive, owing to the stringency of money. Values as a rule were steady, with few impor tant price changes. The following resume of the week's business will show the tone and the latest closing quotations of the different mar kets today: Naval Stores.—The market for spirits tur pentine opened the week firmer and higher, b it later on became quieter, and prices held steady at the slight advance. There was a light de mand, with only moderate offerings, owing to the unsatisfactory monetary conditions. The total sales for the week were about 1,500 casks. Rosin—The con tinued heavy receipts and the steady accumulation of stoca tended to weaken values, and prices were reduced all around. The de mand was quite slow at times, while the offer ings were liberal enough, but the business doing was small. The total sales for the week were about 9,000 barrels. In another column 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—There was a very slow inquiry during the week,the market ruling dull through out and prices of the lower grades somewhat easier. The weak and unfavorable condition of foreign exchange had considerable influence in restricting the operations of Buyers for foreign account. while holders who were anxious to realize rather than to carry stocks over Christmas and the closeness of money caused an easier feeling to prevail, but the demand was not stimulated to any extent, and week closed to day with quite a small business accomplishe i. The total sales for the week were only 5,555 hales. The following are the official closing spot quotations of the Cotton Exchange: Good middling 9% Middling B^6 Low middling. .. 7% Good ordinary 7 3-16 Ordinary 6% Sea Islands—The receipts for the week up to 4 p. m by factors were 1,180 bags and 104 bags or through cotton. The exports were 1,184 hags, distributed as follows: To Liverpool 553 bags, to rtavre 541 bags and to northern nulls 89 bags. The total sales for the week were 8.360 bags. The week opened with the market rather weak and the outlook unfavorable, but buyers came into the market with orders and tlie cheapness caused them to absorb consider able stock, while holders were compelled to make slight concessions in preference to carry ing over the holidays, more especially as the exchange market was irregular and money tight. The market closed with less stock offering in first hands and factors are in a better condition, holders being firm and asking higher, although the above business was on the basis of quotations: Choice 19 @I9U Extra fine 18 @lßt| Fine 17*47518 Medium fine 16*47? 17 Medium 13 Common Georgias and Floridas 15 @ls*£ The receipts of cotton at this port from all sources the past week were 32.145 bales of up land and 1,384 balqs of sea island, against 33,193 bales of upland aqd 1,882 bales sea island last year.

It b' com -s more evident from day to day that brokers, investors, and speculators are de termined to wait until railroads and other in stitution ■ have finished paying their annual and semi-annual disbursements, and also until the last rohd has signed tho presidents' agreement, and business in Wall street, is therefore brought almost to a standstill, and in most stocks :s merely nominal, and will in all probability re main so until after the first of the year at least. To-day, as usual upon th * day after Christmas, the market was exir rneiy dull, though its rec >rd of transactions fairly surpassed those of Wednesday. This was entir ly owing to the increased interest ;n industrials displaye 1 and bear attacks on Union Pacific and Atchison,and iu the last named two stocks almost ali of the features in the mark-t was concentrated. Con sid ring tne pressure by t ie tears upon these two stocks aud otuers, the general list diaplayed a fairly strong un lertone. Tne bears have ha l pointsV.it to sell Union Pacifi • for some time, and to-day proc edel to make these points good, and wh le there was a suspicion that some long stock was coming out, there was an order to b.iy about SJJOO shares executed, until after which time there was very little prog ess made in a downward direction. Liter, nowever, it was depresf>e<i to a lost of 2 p**r cant, since Wednesday evening. Atchison at the same time was forced >ff by some tactics over J per cent. Tne general list opened at about Wednesday’s figures, and m i*ackawanna report showing tnat the road had earned 9 jer cent, for the year und declaration of the regular dividend im parted ajrrie strength; while i*eid trust re sumed its upward movement on tne prospect of a dividend and rose to but aft rward re act *d. Vanderbilts were still strong, but failed to make anv material movement. St. Paul ana Hock Island were rather heavy throughout, but lost only sligrit fracti ns with the remainder r,f the list, and late in the day there was a cover lug ui >vem *nt on the part of the trading *‘ie ment. which ha 1 the effect of causing a partial recovery of the early losses Tne was dull but firm, though generally at so met nag under Aral prices of WedoesJay.
