Hotter. tbe demand was only lair, it is, how
expect-d to improve shortly, with more

■ Naval. Btores— The market for spirits turpen-
Bine was rettier irregular and somewhat uuset-
Bled. In the first part at the week considerable
Hrmnsss was diap.ayed and prices speedily sold
Kp to 35c for rogulars. This had the effect of
Bheeking business and brought matters to a
Ktandstdl. The nearness of the new crop rather
Brsakens the position of holders, and the market
Blosed to-day quiet at 3.iU,c, the t ales at this price
Being merely nominal. In fact, there were very
Bigot transactious during the whole of the wvek
Busin—The market through the week was
Bather quiet an i somewhat depressed and
Brices have steadily dec.ined. strained to good
Strained selling off and ths better qualities
The prime cause of the easiness in
Ba!ues is the ' ear approach of receipts of new
Brop. The season, however, has been inter-
Bered with by the cold spell. Receipts were
Bit It- small, but bad no effect in stimulating the
Enquiry, which was fairly steady on the decline.
■Ttw total sales for the weak were about 12,000
Barrels. In another column will be found a
■weekly table of receipts aud exporis as oom-
Bared with a like period last year, showing tbe
Et .c'k on hand and on shipboard not cleared, to
ttether with the official closing quotations.
W Cotton—The market during the past week
■was dull and easy aDd pr ees declined 316 c all
■round. The demand was light throughout
Rue week, and there was a small business pre-
Raiiing. There were no other features devel
loped in tbe situation except that a recent crop
fcatimate was slightly larger than former esti
mates given a month or so ago The depres
sion, however, is mostly duo to the slow selling
let Liverpool and the failure of English manu-
Ifacfurers to settle the difficulties now existing
kith operat res in the Lancashire district.
■Buyers continue to operate mors cautiously
land confining their purchases to immediate re-
Iquirements, Holders, however, still manifest a
■disposition to reserve offerings and are not
■forcing trade ou the declines The total sales
nor the week were only 1.316 bales. The follow

Sea Islands— The receipt* for the week up to
4 o’clock p. m., as reported by
factors, were 216 bans. The total
exports were 4.292 bags, distributed
' follows: 1.113 bags to Liverpool, 55 bags to
Havre and 1,124 bags to northern mills. The
total sales were 1,~54 bags. There was a cou
tinued good demand, though with some irregu
larity as to prices. About all orders on the
present basis of quotations have been filled.
Orders still on the market are limited to lower
figures, which holders refuse to accept. The
takings of the past few weeks have reduced the
stock considerably, although it is still quite
large for this time The above transactions
were at about the following quotations:

The receipts of cotton at this port from all
sources the past week were 7,668 oiles of
upland and 216 bales sea island, aeainst 12,100
bales of upland and 171 bales sea Island last
year.
The particulars of the receipts have been as
follows: Per Central raiiroad. 4,992 bales up
land; per Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way. 1,728 bales upland and 21“ bales sea
island; per South Hound railroad, 720 bales;
per Savannah river steamer2B bales upland;
per Charleston and Savannah Hallway Com
pany, 200 bales upland.
The exports for the past week were 10 428
bales of upland and 2,292 bales sea island, moving
as follows: To NewYork. 1,871 bales upland
and 1,389 bales sea Island; to Haltimore. 1,725
bales upland; to Boston. 3.330 bales upland
and 903 bales ea island; to Barcelona. 1,800
bales upland; to Norrkoping, 1,700 bales up
lai and
The stock on hand to-day was 53,137 bales
upland and 7,950 hales sea island, against 53,064
bales upland and 6,241 bales soa island last
year.
UrcE—There is still a very light movement in
this grain, but the market remains steady and
unchanged. The demand has been rather slow
anil mostly confined to local buyers. The out
look, however, is better for a good spring trade
irom the. western markets as soon as naviga
C n is openedjand cheaper transportation rates
can he obtained. This fact seems to impart a
sood deal of confidence among holders who are
o t anxious to realize at the present low basis
of values while the stock is well in hand.
The total sales for the week were only .510
barrels, at quotations. Job lots are held

New York, March 14 —The undertone of
speculation at the stoc < Exchange to-day was
decid-dly stronger. Although several sharp
reactions occurred, the trend of prices was up
ward, and at intervals there was an appr och to
buoyancy in certain parts of the list. The
dominant influence wan the marked chan e for
the better in the condition of the local money
market in certain quarters that efforts might
* o mane to effect a squeeze In for the
purpose of stocks ani forcing
liquidation-i in ihe latter. This caused hesitancy
on the part of those wnosn natural inclinations
were to buv for a turn, ou the .supposition that,
after so great a decline as has recently taken
place. there would n© a change for
the better. It was not until leading houses
appeared as heavy leade s that confidence was
restored, but as soon as tr.e danger of a squeeze
was over prices went up rapidly Northern
Pacific preferred scored t e greatest aivanco,
4Vi per cent, to 44. and it came second on the
