OFFICE MORNING NEWS, i
Savannah. Oa.. Jan. 13. 1893. (
liisnuL Remarks— Business as a whole In
general mark*; was rather restricted. Ths
influences and other conditions were against
noy lares operations. The weather has been
quite coid, which, of course, restrains any dis
position toward activity in jobbing
circles. There was, however, a pretty
full representation of itterior buy
ers looking over the market, but their pur
stases have aofar been rather conservative.and
t te same bas characterized the generality of
orders acquired by jobbers, as a consequence
osvr business was very light. There were sav
ers! interesting featuras in the leading staples,
ate most notable being the enormous ad
vance in provisions as also ths steady advance
It spirits turpentine and the drop in the price
of cotton. There were no features of Dew in
terest as regards business in spot cotton, how
ever. The grocery trade hag secured a pretty
steady demand and there was a good movement
tn progress. There was but moderate attention
extended to tha dry goods trade as yet. In
hardware there was not much activity, but
the demand is increasing, and the busi
ness under way was pretty full. In lumber
the outward movement was very moderate
With all other departments there was nothing
nnusua! disclosed in the trading. The money
market was quite easy and exchango. both
foreign and domestic, was firm at current rates.
There was nothing doing in securities, the
market being flat. The following resume of the
week's Dueiness will show the tone and the
latest quotations of the different markets at the
close to day:
Naval Stores— The spirits turpentine mar
ket was strong and advancing fch.oughout the
week. There was a fairly active inquiry and
about all tha offering stock in first hands was
taken. The heavy advance in prices has stimu
lated receipts somewhat, and this fact, as it be
comes apparent, has the effeot of quieting the
demand. At the close of the mai kat sales
were made at 31c for regulars, a full advance of
issc since last report. The sales for the week
were about 3,000 casks. Rosin—The market
was quite firm as a whole, while the m. dium
grades were strong and advanced rather
sharply. There was a good steady Inquiry for
the medium and the lower grades. The sales
during the week were about 10.000
barrels. In another oolumn will t>
found a weekly table of receipts and exports
as compared with a like period last year, show
ing the stock on hand and on shipboard not
cleared, together with the official closing Quota
tions.
Cotton— The market during the week was
generally quiet and the movement rather slug
gish. and about the only feature was the drop
in values. The demand was quite slow and ex
porters display no urgency m the inquiry .while
the transactions fro n dav to day were of a
hand to-u.outh character The receipts are
very light at the ports and advices of unfa or
anie crop reports from india were confirmed
These factors, however, were without any influ
ence in controlling markets, and the heavy
liquidation in New York and fears of the pass
age of t e Retch bill caused values to slough off.
The total sales for the week were 2,921 bales.

Rice—There was relatively more doing In
this grain than for some time back. Prices,
however, seem to develop no particularly strong
feeling, but have maintained a steady range
throughout the week. The demand was fairly
good, although there was no approach to ac
tivity. The total sales for the week were about
1,000 barrels. Receipts are steadily falling off.

from the Few Torn Sun.
In 1827 three youths, all of whom ale
tallied fame In Inter years, published
flrL volume of verre. (. harle* and Alfred
Teunysou published at Loutb, in Ltnooiw
shire, “Poems, by Two Brothers,” find
Edgur Allan loe, at Boston, publlgwd
''Tamerlane and Other Posiqs,' by a
Bostonian.” Tho Tennyson* published an
ordinary edition and an edition da luge
ot th<ir poems; bow large an edition of
Poe’s poem whs printed no one know* The
Tennyson book is rare, but uot extremely
eo; of Poe’e “Temerlane,” only one cogy
wa known to exist until, within sight
years, a second copy was discovered.
The original copy waa received at the
British Museum Library in October,
and in nine or ten yean became known to
counoleaeurs of Poe. It was not perfect,
Ur on* of its covers was missing; But it
was in excellent condition otherwlg* Xbe
collat ion, as bibliophiles call tha technical
description of a book, was a* follows:

Within a few months a second copy of
the little book was found, which was abso
lutely perfect, both oovers being present,
and the book itself ae freeb as when U cssm
from tbe pi ee*. It turned up at an auction
In Boston, In October last, and was beugM
by a well-known Arm of booksellers of this
city, who "featured" it in their autumn
list of Americana. Its discovery wge ae
romantic a* Poe’s own life. A few month*
ago T. O. H. P. Burnham, the old defier 1
in old books in Boston, died; end
bit books were auctioned off
last October. While Mr. Libby, tire auc
tioneer, himself an amateur of Poe,was go*
ing over tbe books, be eame aoroee a copy
of "Tamerlane,” whioh Mr. Barntutm wee
not known bo possess. It brought at the
sale $1,850, a high prlo# enough. A (iff*
daya before Christmas their youngest tales*
man disposed of it to an unnamed gentle
man for the turn of $3,500, whioh msgas it
the most expensive book ever handled.
Larger prices have been paid for oerWitp
book* Tbe Mazariu Bible brought $8,0(3)
at the Brinley sale, and $14,800 when lest
sold: but that Bible is in two Urge vol
umes of several hundred pegee each. The
price paid for the tiny “Tamerlan*,"
$2,500, makes each page, printed or bieph,
worth $62 50. Among bookseller* the fhle
Is of importance, for any man with mosey
can buy, but it Isn’t every man who ogs
find a purchaser for au expaostve, abso
lutely unique book—for the British museum
copy is out of tbe market. Tbe seller tu
this case was William Barclay Dunham, a
writer of dainty verse as well ae a biblio
pole, whose poems are not unknown to the
readers of tbe Sun.
The poem* in “Tamerlane” were written,
ey Poe in hie prefaoe, in 1821-’23, “whoa
tha author bad not completed his 14:h
year. They were, of course, not Intended
for publication: why they are published
now concerns no one but himself.” Poe
says be is aware of fault* in his poems;
but be “bas been too fond of bis early
productions to amend them in bi* old eg*
Ue will not tay that be it indifferent ae to
tho success ot these poems—lt might stim

can safely assert that failure will not
at all influence him in a resolution already
adopted. This is challenging critietam

A stranger ooiocldeuce than the almost
•imultaneoue publi ation of their Sret vol
umes links Poe with tbe Tennyson*, the
Latin motto in “Tamerlane” is tbe eame at
that in tbe “Poems of Two Brother*.”
Here the resemblances ceaeed; the Tenny
son* went on to fame and fortune, Poe to
poverty and neglect. Renown came to the
Tennyson brother* while they lived, tteam*
to P.k> after bi* death. and now a sum is
paid for a copy of his first audacious book
