tieneral Remarks.
In the general market the situation is with
out new interest. There is no marked im
provement in the general volume of the lead
ing markets. Cptton has been very quiet and
naval stores have been dull for the past few
days. Business, however, in the jobbing
trades was much better than was espected
and with the expected visitation of a
large number of merchants from Flor
ida. who will arrive next Tuesday,
the expectations for a large business will be
fully realized. Savannah is the best market
for that section and the trade here are amply
able to take care of it. Holiday goods are
now being ordered and the merchants are
busy in that line. The grocery trade shows
more activity than during the previous week.
Collections are steady. Money is easy and in
fair demand. The retail houses are making
desperate strides to secure business,

the past week. The general outlook is good
and every merchant is looking for a brisk
trade from now on until the New Year. The

of the week wore 1.810 bales. There was a
slow demand from Europe, and the situation
sterns to be misunderstood in the markets
which require sea island for spinning. It is
an effort to dispel the idea that the cron will
i e i.n unusually large one. and sales have
beep made only by the urgent efforts of the
local representatives to induce their houses
to give orders. ( hoice grade is scarce, and

of stocks and bonds for London accocnt
caused a weneral ad\ ance in pricos in the local

ignored the Italian financial disturbance, and
lor that matter, the troubles seemed to have
no effect on tin 1 continental markets Lon
don. it was estimated, took fully 25.000 shares
of various stocks, as well as big bi t lies of
bonds. Shortly after the opening Sugar sud
denly dropped from 83 to ho. 'I he other in
dustrials were also weak, notably Whisky
and Lead. There were some heavy liquida
tions in Lead preferre 1 by parties whofeared
that the Wilson tariff bill, if it becomes a law.
will cut down the profits of this concern.
About the only weak spot among th* rail

that the 22.000 shares of stock pledged as col

the reorganization scheme would pro

blanket mortgage. Atchison advanced to

New York. Dec. 1. The Sun's cotton ar
ticle says: An advance in Liverpool, small
receipts at New Orleans, a falling off in the
movement of the crop to interior towns and
some new local buying, caused an advance,
but there was no activity in speculation. The
closing prices, however, were 5 to 8 points
above those at the closj of Wednesday. The
future of the market depends upon the re
eeipts at the ports. Sales 123.700 bales. Liv
erpool advanced 1 to points, lost some of
this and closed barely steady, with spot sales
of 10.000 bales at unchanged prices. In Man
Chester yarns were irregular and cloths
quiet. New Orleans advanced 10 points
and then reacted. The receipts at the
ports were 41.122 bales against 44.34 7 this day
last week, and 46.148 last year. Total for the
week. 292.894 bales, against 284.796 last week,
and 249,310 this week last year. Receipts at
interior towns for the week were 97.733 bales,
against 104.148 last week and 106.685 last year;
shipments, 113.992 bales, against 122.132 last
week, and 82,038 last year; stork 343 045
bales, against 325.276 last week, and 314.862
last year. Spot prices here acre unchanged,
with trade quiet. Sales 111 bales for spin
ning. Deliveries on contract. 13.400 bales. The
New (lrleans receipts to morrow are estimated
at 14.000 to 15 tHM)bales against 19.537 the same
day last week and 12,151 last year. There was
an advance of 1 16c at three of the southern
markets. New Orleans closed firm, with spot
sales of 1 1.f.0) bales. The exports from the
ports for six days are 105.056 bales to Great
Britain against 114.857 during the s.vine time
last year; 42 8) to the continent against 52,
109 for the same dav las*, year, and 3.291 to
France against 27.992 for the same day in
1892.”
New York, Dee. 1. Riordan & Cos. say of
cotton: ‘ The improvement in Liverpool yes
terday and to-da> brought in numerous south
ern buying orders, and our opening was at an
advance f II points. March selling on the
call at 8.23 c. Th*' port receipts were again
full, and after the buying orders had been
filled the market declined. Atom* time, prices
wore quite weak, March reacting to 8.12 c.
But the interior receipts came in lighter than
had been expected, and the interior stocks
wore but Rightly increased, showing that a
large proportion of the port receipts eon
sisted of cotton that had already come into
sight. This again changed the temper of
speculation, and Mar h rallied to B.lc. The
close was steady, with B.lßc hid for March. If
Liverpool continues firm, we are likely to go
higher here. But the American spinners
seem listless about buying, except from hand
to mouth, and unless we have encouragement
from abroad the hopes of the bears that
March will again go below He may be realized.
We still tnsnk well of cotton, however, in the
long run.”
New York. Dec. I.—Atwood Violett (’o.
say of cotton to day: ‘ If Mr. Neill and his
following dont t stop these reductions in re
eeipts and stocks, the foreign spinner will
soon bo asking for an exp’anation. and tin* only
one that we can suggest to l e made to the
spinner is that the southern planters would
insist on not making as much cotton this year
as the crop estimates have insisted that he
must make in order to realize their figures.
We venture th)* assertion that their next
joint account estimate will be a reduction. A
noticeable feature has l>een that the falling
off is general from North Carolina to Texas,
and as Dallas and Brenhatn have lost l.fO)
and 2.000 bales of their stocks, respectively,
it is presumable that the remaining points
not weekly reported h ive lost in the same
proportion. We may \)• mistaken in the fol
lowing impression, but it strikes us that the
shipments next week are not to be as heavy as
those of the week ending to-day. That the port
movement will have to depend very largely
upon the plantation movement proper. If the
time ever comes in the near future when the
falling off looks permanent. We call daily at
tention to the brilliant figuring of this crop in
the month of October of the people whose
estimates have resulted in driving the spinner
largely out of the market with a resulting de
cline. The correspondence of our New Or
-1 jans and New York firms, which is as large
and general as that of any one house con
nected with the trade, is most pronounced to
one point, and on which we lav more stress
than upon receipts, present or prospective,
and that is what is the out-turn of lint per
acre in the locality or section or the state of
our correspondent, and we can find nothing
that leads us to believe in a
production over 165 pounds to the
acre, and yet it requires 175 pounds to
make a 7,000.0 0 bale crop. We will allow for
mistakes and oversights, but even then the
reduction below 7.250.000 bale estimates is so
great as to make such estimates appear ridic
ulous. 'lhe crop letters are weakening be
cause the latest development in that liru* was
a telegram received her)* to-day. offering 2
to 1 that the crop would I o 7.250.0 M) bales. It
looks as though th *.v were trying to hedge
on bets made 011 higher figures. Liverpool
to day closed at out 1 1 o uts better than VY < and
ne.sday. This market 0 points oettcr. The
English and continental spinner should,
after the development of this week, buy act

( hicago. Dec. 1 There was a good business
transacted in wheat to day, ami the feeling
alternated between strength and weakness.
r l he news was about evenly divided between
an encouraging and depressing nature. Prices
at the opening were 1 •(ft.94c lower than
Wednesday. The closing figures fluctuated
within a l H c range, sidling off near the close,
which was 14c lowerfor December and
lower for May than last prices of Wednesday.
Corn was quiet with the trade confined prin
cipally to tie* local crowd. There was
very little news to affect prices, and the
range was most narrow, covering only 4,c-
The close was fractionally below that of
Wednesday. Oats were without, feature.
Weakness was manifested when other grains
declined and prices receded Vtf l c. closing >4O
under Wednesday. December closed weaker
than the far deliveries. Provisions opened
steady and slightly higher on the improve
merit in values of live hogs at tin* yards, but
then* was a scarcity of orders. Later there
was an easier feeling prevalent. Toward the
close prices were some firmer, and the last
figures showed a gain of 34c for January pork
anti lard and 24c for January ribs. Every
thing considered, the market was an extreme
ly narrow and featureless one.
