OFKICE MORNING NEWS, |
Savannas. Ga„ March 10, 19911
ge iral Remarks— Business In the general
’ kf . according to the generaly conceived
rf c < the situation among jobbers, was dull
, , ut little interest was aisclos-d in the week s
s0 far as out war i appearances go. Mill
, er 7wss a good deal of quiet buying going on
. lc b t.as been steady and this becomes more
'"arerit as the clearing house returns show up
C. favorably for this period of the year. Job
of course, report orders as iight but in the
show a pretty fair volume of goods
T i n .- out; this, of course, in part is accounted
, t,y its being the early part of the month,
jljjp. is very little new busiuesi being placed.
j j; is thought that there is slim chance for
c pr ved conditions in the near fucure, from
j, e fact that the oottou trade is still in an un
.r:s.:.. as well as unsatisfactory, position, ow
, the mill operatives' difficulty abroad and
rtuch appears to be no nearer solution than it
,A, at US inception. Tnere is a continuance of
be heavy demand tor money previously noted,
jciange is quite Krai, while foreign is barely
tssdy at the decin e. Co.lections are slow, lu
. .cer.es and provisions there w as a good move
sent had, showing some improvement over the
irevi us week. In dry goods, while there was a
teady trade doing, still it shows a gradual
a !i, : g off in the quantity of goods moving out.
larlware was more quiet with leas doing
ban for several weeks back, in other de
artmvnts the situation remains about as here
„fore, with no features of moment. TUe fol
ding resume of the week’s business will show
he tone and the latest quotations of the differ
mt markets at the closing hour to-day:
Naval Stores—The receipts of spirits turpen
ine are lig it, anl although the market is quiet
tferings are generally held higher and pr.ces
• the close t j-day show an advance of I%c
•er last week. Tnere is a very light demand
id buyers continue to absorb stock only on
,osolute requirements from day to day.
he total sales for the week were
irobaby eome 1.500 casks. Rosin—
uesituation has been quite firm although with
om ■ irregularity in prices, and the lower
•radas show some advance. There has been a
•ood steady inquiry for strained to good
trained and the medium grades, which has
ooinbuted to maintain values in ail other
luauties Receipts, however, are steadily
i.ackening and the most desirable grades are
caro-r. The sales for the week ware about
4,000 barrels. In another column will be found a
leexly table of receipts and expor s as com
,ared witn a like period last year, showing the
tock on hand and on shipboard not cleared, to
;ether with the official closing quotations.
Cutton—The market has continued to display
considerable steadiness under a very slow de
nand. In the first part of the week an advance
of %c was recorded, influenced by the advance
akeu on at Liverpool. There ere no accumu
lations of stock, however, and the takings daily,
ilthough light, have kept the
ilfenngs well within bounds, so
hat holders have had no difficulty in maintain
ng present quotations. Advices from abroad
itill show nothing very encourag.ng, and the
imall business at Liverpool seems to afford but
ittle satisfaction to the primary mar
kets. The total sales for the week were
2,850 bale*. The following are the offioial clos

Csir ago. March 10.—Wheat furnished a sur
prise to-day. May option suddenly, became ex
cited and shot skyward, while July weak
as May was str ng. During the time that the
latter madeaS'tjC gain the former dropped
114 c. the extreme spread having been M£c
against a difference of l'Loat ti.e close last
night. All indications had pointed to a weak
and uneventful day. when without warning the
demand for May expanded and bids were
gradually advanced. 1o al shorts began
to think that possibly the clique
had opened the bull campaign In earnest and
took fright a' once. When they began toojver
it was found that there was hardly any for sale,
and this only added to the alarm, which m ied
in a partial panic, during which the price was
bid up 214 cln loss than half an hour. After the
scare bad passed away facts were discovered
which caused the belief among many that the
buying had been on unlimited orders from
shorts In the northwest, who had with much
unanimity resolved on covering their Mav short
age lawyer & Cos. of Duluth, big elevator
owners, wore said to bo the foremost buyers,
but other prominent northwesters operators
wore uot far behind. Alter the most urgent
shorts had supplied their wants ttie market
got dull agaiu and lost IVftc of the advance. Tbe
feature of the umrkot was the fact that while
May was on the rampage Jul v was on the slump.
Th s who were covering May seemed to be
selling July and doing it reck ossly It vas re
marked as v* rv suuular that while calls on
May were good, puts ou July were equally good.
Corn amt oats did not share the pyrotechnics
displayed In the wheat pit, remaining within
narrow limits and averaging a shade higher.
There was a shako out In pro
visions, although hogs were lighter
than expected, at 11,000. ami prhts* at the yards
higher, the products were lower from the start.

which Baldwin and others joined. With no one
giving support. Mav price dropped from $lB 17Vft
