SAVANNAH market. ~
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE MOB XING NEWS, I
Savavnah, Ga., Dec. 11, 1991. f
Oiverat. Remark®—Business lo th general
niarket during the has continue 1 of a
character, though there were more
orders received than for the previous week.
Comparative quiet, however, continues to rule
in the general jobbing traaes so far a* season
able demand is concerned, and aside from the
demand for holiday goods the volume
cf trading was light. In the sale of holiday
goods, however, there wai some slight im
provement seen, there being more spot buyers,
while the local trading was better, although in
no comparison with last year's. Trade h un
doubtedly dull, which is reflected in the total
clearings of the banks for the week, while there
geems to be no chance of an early
improvement in conditions, as the
ni ney market has tightened up con
sul rahly since last week. The domestic ex
change market is quiet at a decline in rates,
while foreign has become active and strong. In
the security market is no material
change, and business continues rather slack,
although there is a hardening tendency shown
in some investment securities. Collections
are very unsatisfactoy and slow, and
owing to this fact there is a
great deal of caution about in Jobbing
etrcles while buyers manifested the same disi*>
tion. In tno grocery trade the distribution has
been moderately close and this has been so for
some time. The drygoods movement was de
void of interest and the few sales are for Im
tn *llate needs. In hardware thero was a very
Bow business. The lumber trade continues to
show improvement an l the mills are provided
with orders ahead. There were few changes In
Viluss and the markets are without feature
The following resume of the week’s business will
show the tone and the latest closing quotations
of the different markets to-day:
Naval Stores—The market for spirits tur
pentine was flrmerfduring the week, an l closed
today at an advance of lie. The receipts have
again been quite large, but there was some im
provement in the demand, while holders have
presented a firmer front. The total sales for
the week were fully 4,000 casks.
Kosln There was a fairly active
demand for the medium better grades, while
prices were firm anl steadily advanced Tne
lower grades, however, were moving out slowlv.
although values were quite steady. The total
Kales for the week were about 12,000 barrels.

on hand and on shipboard not cleared, together
with the official elos.ng quotations.

the week, but to some extent a steady feeling
I rwailed and prices have remained unchanged,
although some buyers have succeeded at times
tu obtaining slight concessions. There is. how
ever, considerable caution exercised
among operators, and the buying
is strictly in small lots while the
light takings has allowed the stock to accumu
late. The total of transactions was fully up to
those of the previous week. The sales for the
week wore 5.825 bales. The following are the

New York, Dec. 11.—The stock market to
day was irregular, with most of the business
confined to a few sjieclalties, the strongest
features being Richmond Terminal and Ohl
cago Ga>, the former making a net gain of 1%
per cent., while Chicago Gas advam -•ed %.
afterward reaching tj Missouri Pacific and
Union I’aclfio were exceptionally weak, the
former declining 1 per cent, and closing at the
lowest point. The rest of the list was compar
atively neglected, and the volume of business
was much smaller thau on yesterday. The im
pression prevails that parties controlling the
Missouri Pacific are working for lower pric-s.
The Vanderbilt following continues the pre
dictions of higher prices generally, especially
for their ow n line of stocks, and working as is
their custom on one line at a time aro predict
ing an early advance Nickel Plate securities.
The advance in Obicago Gas was on buying by
brokers generally handling investment orders,
and was accompanied by reports of largely in
creased earnings. The movement in Rionmond
Terminal was apparently due to the pending
contest for control between factions in the di
rectory, and most of the stock was bought by
interests indentifled with the property. Hales
of listed stocks were 18915,000 shares; unlisted
4,000 shares

Chicago, Dec. 11.—The combined action of
several of the largest local bear operators tu
wheat overcame th* effect of the very bullish
government report and closed the market at a
decline since yesterday of %c, and about 2c
below the highest price of the day. Outside
business was scant throughout the
