WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE MORNING NEWS, )
Savannah, Ga., May srO, 1892. \
nrvERAI- REMARKS-There was a Tory good
movement in the general market during
trs ' a ve ek That is considering the time of
|lSt Tr when business might be said to be on
tb< “ 5 ’ r 'of its transition period. All in all
'“rations in pretty nearly all the leading
Apartments were fairly satisfactory
h le the leading features in commercial affairs
Q uite prominent, and, to say the least,
*e encouraging. The weather has been more
“‘iisfactorv, wUh copious rains relieving the
“ pellot drought previously experienced,
„Mch cannot help improving the growing crop
tuition. There was more doing in cotton,
B ‘. a better outlook for values. The money
° srltet was quite satisfactory and easy, so Is do
“tic exchange, while foreign is weak. Naval
“res were slightly lower in values, but are
movin’out steadily, and quite offsets the very
heavy ’supplies coming forward. Collections
have relapsed somewhat intq their did form,
E and are arriving very slowly from the interior,
“here was a good distribution in the grocery
de and the volume of ship
ntj was very steady. In hardware
the business offering was only fair, though
dy in dry goods there was nothing com
paratively to speak of, moving in a jobbing
in lumber there is less activity than for
* re time back, but the mills have kept stead
ily up with orders. In all other branches there
was a light business doing, the demand being
mostly for immediate requirements. The fol
lowing resume of the week s business will snow
t h tone and the latest closing quotations of
the different markets to-day.
Viv il Stores—The market for SDirits turpen
ne was somewhat easier during the week, with
nlies offering in excess of demands, which
.hlto some extent moderate, and holders by
yielding a little have placed offerings fairly
ie I Prices at the close were off fully %c since
ustweek. The total sales will approximate
5 iXX 1 casks. Rosin—The market moves along
,ieadv though moderate trading, and without
Lv especial activity on any particular grade,
wt'ile holders were ready sellers at the current
fivures as a consequence the mediums and the
commoner sorts show a material decline. The
total sales for the week were about 11,000
ba rels Elsewhere will be found a weekly table
v receipts and exports as compared with a like
neriod last year, showing the stock on hand
Jnd on ship-board not cleared, together with
the official closing quotations.
Cotton —The spot market has not varied to
any appreciable extent. It has been compara
tively quiet. Cautious and reserved buying Is
still the feature, yet holders are not offering
freely enough to force prices, which went off
sightly in the first half of the week, but toward
the latter half firmed up again in sympathy
with controlling markets, and values were fully
recovered. The total sales for the week were
i,669 bales. The following are the official spot
quotations of the Cotton Exchange :
Middling fair 7%
Good middling 7%
Middling. 7
low middling v%
Good ordinary 6%
Sea Islands—The receipts for the week up
to 4 p m., were reported by factors at 12 bags.
The exports were 231 bags, all to the northern
mills. The sales were 266 bales. The market
was very quiet during the week.although steady,
under a comparatively light demand. The
above transactions were based on present quo
tations.

The stock market continued to show a fair
volume of business, but, as usual of late, a
portion of the trading was directlv the result of
bearish operations. The opening of the market
was made generally at small fractions below
last night's prices, but the natural tendency of
the market, in the absence of pressure, was
shown to ho in an upward direction, as prices
all along the line rose fractionally, Aint.il the
l>ears again attacked Erie stocks, Atchison, and
some others. These drives result**! tn Losses
extending to 3 per cent, in active shares, but
most of the list were held above the level of
opening figures until well into the afternoon,
when, after a general rally, Grangers, and espe
cially Rock Island and Burlington, were made
to bear the br-unt of the pressure. The floods
were brought forward as an excuse for this
drive, but no one thought of selling either until
the bears discovered that great damage was
being done along the lines of these railroads.
The result, however, was to depress thepricen
of these stocks about 8 percent, each, and the
general list at last gave way m sympathy, so
that the late dealings had a very weak appear
ance despite the frequent ralltes in the list. The
olose was active and weak, with leading stocks
at or near the lowest of the day. There were a
few strong spots. Industrials and Manhatiau
were the most conspicuous, and while Manhat
tan and Cordage are up 196 Pi* cent, and
Sugar Hi, Rock Island is down Erie ore
ferred 3Vi. Erie and Lake Shore each 1%. Bur
lington lVi and Northwestern 1 per cent. The
sales of liHted stocks were 374,000 shares and

New Y'ork, May 20.—Hubbard, Price & Co.’s
ootton circular says: “At Liverpool futures
opened at a Blight advance, lost it, and sub
sequently improved again, closing firm st the
highest of the day and 2-64d over last evening.
In our own market trading has been dull at an
advance of from 804 points, which is purely iu
response to the improvement abroad. But
little apprehension seems to be felt with regard
iu the flood, and whatever of the bull sentiment
has been created is purely the result of high
water. During the afternoon the market
showed more strength, shorts becoming
nervous and by their covering advanced prices
to 7 50c for August, at which price the market
closed steady.”

Chicago, May 20.—A wilder clamor 'and ex
citement over the scarcity of grain and pro
visions than was witnessed to-day on 'Change
could scarcely be imagined in starving Russia.
Short sellers, big and little, were in a panic.
The nrice of May corn shot up 7c and closed
within lc of the top. July option gained B%c,
wheat is up 2%c aud pork, lard and ribs are re
spectively 6 >c, !5c and 17V£o higher. The bli/.-
zard following the disastrous rain floods for a
month was the horror. Corn
was agitated from the start, and
an immense volume of business was trails
acted. T e opening found the crowd anxious
and offerings light. Pardrldge was heavily
short in July and rushed brokers from half a
dozen houses into the pit to get his corn back.
The trade had none to sell to meet so great a
demand. Small shorts, too, were scrambling
for corn. Ev€;ry message on the floor was dis
couraging. May price held at 55V£c at the start,
wont to 57c and on to 58c as soon as the bidding
began, and sellers held it at 60c. June win
quoted at 46J4®47V$c, and sellers offered it at 49c
on an early bulge. So J uly was at 45c to 45>$c at
the start, went to 46HjC, back to 16c and then
jumped to 47%c before 11 o’clock. For an hour
there was a let-up in theuanlcky feeling, and
July dropped back to Pardridge later
tried to buy and the prioe jumped to a
few minutes. This opened up the excitement
anew, and May sold quite freely at 60c, jumped
to 6lc and went on to 62c before 1 o’clock. June
was quoted at at the same lime, while
July passed the hign point of the morning aud
went squarely up o 490. Corn closed with the
trade greatly excited, ana top prices pretty
well held. In wueat the opening was about
Yi c higher than yesterday’s ciose, advanced
receded Y\c % advanced 134 c, then receded
rallied fluctuated some, and closed about
2%c liigner than yesterday. A sharp demand
existed, and outside parties bought freely.
Short interest covered freely and felt rather
uneasy at the situation. There was no great
Quantity of wheat offered, though on the dif
erent‘ bulges" some realizing followed. The
feeling was decidedly nervous. A steady trade
was carried on in oats, the market being greatly
stimulated by the strength of corn, and closing
114® higher. The provision trade caught
the bull fever from the grain pita The great
est speculative interest was in pork. The open
ing price was 10c over last night, in sympathy
with corn. This was the key to the situation;
danger to the corn crop and higher prices in
the corn pit. The strength caused local shorts
to cover early in the day. Then packers began
taking products May operators, after cover
ins short sales, took the long side for an upturn
and final figures were the highest of all.
