1,0 however but that is an exception to
*‘°"? h er leading departments. The cotton
ft s has been absolutely flat, there being
atraand during the entire week, and the
° d !” a “ e remained unchanged, while the
pr ",he market was exceedingly dull. The
however, m the general jobbing

movement while not specially active, has
sufficient to make up a satisfactory
i The monev market continues easy.

IV the week wlih an occasional change In the
In groceries there has been a good de
ar and and the distribution has been going on
lapidly, especially In bulk goods. There
ll been no special feature to note in the gen-
Drives during the past week. For dry
"js the demand was satisfactorily distrib-
Sted over the various descriptions of cotton
od dress goods, and jobbers are getting in
orders for the spring trade, which may be
" ld t 0 be enlarging. The business in lumber
u'verv slow, and orders for cargoes are
scarce Shipping is very dull, there
heme very little inquiry for freights. Several
sailing vessels ars loading with cotton for
Europe and the continent. Arrivals of for
eip sailing vessels are slow, none having en
tered this port during the past three weeks.
In other branches the trade is moving along
sav.ly. Collections are not as full as they
might be for the commencement of the year.
The following resume of the week s business
will show the tone and the latest quotations
of the different markets at the close to-day:
Naval Store*.
9nirits Turpentine—There was a strong de
mkiid during the entire week and the market
held firm at advancing prices. The re
lints have een quite light, but sales have
exceeded the movflnent, owing to several
inis whi< h had been held, being offered on
the market at the advance. The market
owned last Saturday at 28c. Monday, it ad
va ioed qc and continued unchanged until
Wednesday, when a further advance of Mo
was made on T hursday the price rose to
and closed to-day at 29 cents. Although
the price is not up to the quotations of a year
*o at this time. It is an open secret that
the market will be 30c In a few days, which
will be influenced by a •‘bull" movement of a
large exporting bouse which holds tho ma
jority of the stock of spirits of turpentine.
Rosin.—There has been a steady demand
fora'll grades during the week, particularly
mediums. Tales are not sought after, but
are taken along with full lines. While com
mon grades are in good demand, the buyers
of this quality are not anxious to pay the
prices and would prefer a slump in that di
rection. Although the prices of rosin are not
as high as ihey were at this time last year,
the sales continue quite satisfactory, though
exporters claim that there is but little mar
gin in buying at present quotations. The
week experienced some fluctuations in I
grade and below, but closes firm at the quo
tations at the Board of Trade.

New York, Feb. 2.—ln the passage of the Wil
son tariff bill an effort was made to break
American Sugar. Itjwas partiallysuccessful at
the opening, when the price was momentarily
depressed to 76c. The decline Drought in sup
porting orders, however, and tho price stead
ily mounted to 79. Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing according tothe wiseacres of the Exchang
es should have been a sale on account of the
legislation just passed upon by congress, but
In this case, as in Sugar, their predictions
were not fullfllled. The stock ranged be
tween 275. and 274 throughout
the day, but it ls to be said In this case that
there was considerable' Washington," Chi
cago Gas was In demand throughout and ad
vanced 14c. Western Union was also promi
nent In point of activity aud lost % per cent,
for the day. The old story about inside
selling and losses to follow on account of the
expiration of the telephone patents wore re
vived. The bears on the stock also laid stress
on the proposed Increase in the
capital stock of the Bell Telephone Com
pany. Delaware and Hndson made a further
fain to 138 and Manhattan rose 14 to 1234.
n the case of the former there was some
gossip about an increase in the dividend rate
to follow the retirement of its high interest
paying bouds. Tho directors usually settle
the dividend rate for the year in March. So
far as the general market is ooncerr.e I, It can
be said that the subsorlptions for the new
government loan did not come up to the ex
pectations of the bulls and therefore they
were not disposed to enter into new engage
ments. Still, the market held firm during the
day and when the industrials had
their little spurt in the last hour
a general, though a slight advance took
place. Sugar, just previous to the close, set
tled back to 784 and Western Union sold at
its lowest point. This resulted in a reaction
of 4 to 4 per cent, in other stocks. The mar
ket left off about firm, except for Western
Union and Imulsvtlle and Nashville. New
changes for the day show gains of 4 to 14
per cent, outside of Western Union and
Louisville and Nashville and General Elec
tric. which are down 434 pur cent. The
total sales were 119.0U0 shares, of which
20.U00 were American Sugar; 19.0U0 Whisky:

New York, Feb. 2.—Riordan & Cos. soy of
ootton to-day: "To day's decline of about 9
points was caused by persistent selling out
by disgusted bulls. The movement for the
week, both at the ports and interior towns,
was less than expected, but as tho advance
which had been hopod for did not take place,
either here or Liverpool, the disappointment
of the holders of long cotton took the shape
of peremptory selling orders, 'there was a
heavy liquidation for account of both local
and southern operators. The opening was a
decline of 4 points, March selling 011 the
call at 7.80 c. But tho offerings continued
free and the market gradually sagged under
the pressure, March selling down t 07.730. In
the final trading there was heavy buying to
cover shorts by a prominent German house,
and the close was steady, with 7.75 c bid for
March. The market had been over bought
and was topheavy, but to day s liquidation
may have materially relieved It of its burden.
If the diminution of receipts continues we
look for a rally."
New Y'ork. Feb. 2.—Atwood Vlolett A Cos.
say of cotton to day: “The efforts to lower
values have been successful again to-day.
What the merits of cotton are must be Judged
by the trade generally, If any. In ouropln
lon-there are a great many; at the Bame time,
judging by tho course of the market, there
are apparenMy more demerits than other
wise. The shorts have been pretty success
ful and large by chance, In assisting which
tho south has contributed very largely by
rushing Its product to market; prices have
been driven to a lower level than such a crop
as ls now generally accepted should have
reached, and they are desirous of pushing
their good fortune still further by forcing the
market still lower. The question is, Is this
crop over 7,500,000 bales, or ls It under 7,250,000
bales : It ls remarkable with what unanimity
all Information that has emanated from the
south this year has Indicated a crop decidedly
under the latter figure, and we strongly re
commend reading Alfred B. Shepperson s
last edition of "Cotton Facts," just Issued,
in which, on page 6, he gives most excellent
reasons why this crop should not exceed
7,250,000 bales. It is altogether the most in
teresting document of that character that he
has yet put before the public. If this crop Is
a small one it is a serious matter for the peo
pie, who have still any of it unmarketed,
whether they are to be deprived of the better
prices. We tbink the cotton consumers would
take more liberally of cotton and thus
creating a better spot dernaud. bring more
activity Into the future market and bring
prices higher. We clos# her 10 points higher
than yesterday. The port movement this
week 155,550 bales, against 140,000 bales last
year. Interior movement 20,122 bales, against
25,523 bales last year. The amount that has
come in sight this week according to the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, is 135,000
bales, against 128,000 bales last year. Re
ceipts must now fall under the movement of
the week ending to-day. otherwise, with free
receipts, we shall have continued cabling
from this side to Liverpool of the large esti
mates. with perhaps corresponding selling by
timid l°gs, and yet In 1889 90. there came Into
sight after the end of January only 1,015.000
bales Into sightjthls year; after Jan. 31, the
crop will be a fraction over 7,200,000. We
have for several days past kept before our
correspondents the inadvishlllty of buying,
seeing, as we did the existence of a growing
foellng against cotton. The amount In sight
for the two days of February ls 29.421 bales,
against 36,249 bales last year, or 7,000 bales
less than in 1890.”

Chicago, Feb. 2.—Wheat was very weak
during the greater portion of the session, al
though there was no Sensational decline ac
companying the feeling. There was some very
slow selling by prominent operators, usually
lndentlfied with the short side, as well as
quite a considerable unloading of long wheat.
Within ths last hour a hardening of prices
teok place from no apparent cause,
beyond an evident desire on
the part of the early sellers
to buy back their wheat. May opened (4o®4c
lower, closing a fraction under yesterday.
Corn was weak on aocountof the continued
froe arrivals. A reaction ocourred shortly
before the close, which was due to the recov
ery In wheat. The market opened at about
yesterday's close, sold down Qc, rallied Re,
and after some changing prices closed about
as yesterday at the same time.
Oats were In sympathy with the
action of wheat and corn. Receipts
were 114 cars The market closed with a gain
of 4c over yesterday for May. Provisions
weak. In tribute to a depressed feeling and
decline In prices for lire hogs. Perhaps some
of the easy feeling was Imbibed from grain,
but business was so very light that selling
from any cause whatever, forced a decline.
Stocks of provisions were a little less of
pork and ribs and a little more of lard than
was expected. May pork closed 15c lower;
May lard 10c lower and May ribs 24c lower.
