WSEKLT REPORT.
OFFICE MORNING SEWp, i
Savannah. Dec 36. 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:

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

The Nun * cotton review says: "Futures
opened lower, turther declined, quickly ralllett
aud further improved, closing steady at I<s.*
points advance frnm Wednesday's‘ closing
price*. We had quite a imrkei to day, not
withstanding the abseuce of new* from other
points. The F.uropean markets were closed,
aud thestorm cut us from communication with
tne south. Opening was weak aud there was a
further decline, due, it is said, to the tree issue
of notices for delivery on January contracts,
and to the freedom with which these notice*
w. ro thrown upon the market, tho latter fact
iK'ing ascribed to relatively high figure at
which quotations for lower grades of spot cot
ton were maintained. Subsequently notices for
Jauuvry delivery were taken up; the crop
m ivement btvan to how up cout| aratividv
small; then oauio the demand to cover c >ll
trao s, causing not on.v a rec*very of the enrlv
decline, but some further advance, os|ociully
for distant mouths. Spot cotton was dull.”

vanced to 61$4* reacted and sold lower
