General Remark*.
The general quietude which has prevailed
, he market during the last week was
B hat hishtened by the intervention of
Washington's birthday, which was generally
¥ ed as a close hoilday There were no
° developments respecting the jobbing
te whatever, while the general ten
i t ies of the movement were towards
‘volume as the spring season ap
-1 aches Some activity, however, will prob
continue through the next two weeks.
* jew branches, by which time jobbers
wdl be well sold up for the season. A fair
movement was had, however, all things con
sidered and there was a satisfactory .out-of
’ order tiuslness in progress, although the
ring house returns show some falling oil
“j , h * as somewhat discounted by the loss
of one da vs trading. In the cotton market,
the-e is a flatness which is disheartening to
hoide-s of the staple. Naval stores have
been Quiet. Collections are rather slow,
in groceries the demand was not
* active, but the distribution
* a3 quite steady. In dry goods
fair trade was had, but the demand tends
to slacken as the wants of the Interior buyers
become tilled up. The hardware trade has
had renewed attention, and a fair business
was in progress. In other departments the
volume of transactions was rather slow
The following resume of the week's business
wii, show the tone and the latest quotations of
the different markets at the close to day:
Naval Stores.
Dirits Turpentine—The market has been
„. r ,. juiet during the past week and business
has been nominal The tone of the market,
however has been firm, at a decline of lc.
The re.eipts have been comparatively light
and the exporters have neglected the market,
the onlv sales being made for domestic ship
ment to HU orders for actual consumption.
The factors are holding on, expecting a de
mand to cause a reaction and an advance in
the price In fhe meantime, the market re
mains very quiet.
Kesin The market for the past week has
hen steady, at a decline In pales and com
mon grales. The sales have been somewhat
increased since the declining, though there is
a disposition on the part of exporters to
negle t the market.

The tendency of the market for the past
week ha* been towards lower prices. This,
to u great extent has been occasioned by a
li juidaticnof March contracts at the control-
markets. The interest in that month was
quite large and in the absence of speculation
the tone of the market has been easier.
Liverpool has shown small sales and arrivals
there have been lower. Stocks at ail of the
ports are still under those of last year,
whereas the receipts are about 90.000 bales
more, i his port shows about the same stock
as last year, with net receipts about 1890,0)0
in excess of last year. This overplus notwith -
standing adverse conditions which have at
tached to this year, has been exported, and
as the crop >hortage becomes more appa
rent, it is quite likely that a reaction will
ensue.
The port receipts for the week ending
last 1- riday night were 82.626 bales,
against 65 496 bales last year. The
blocks at the ports are 921,030 baies against
bales last year, and stocks at interior
towns 1 <7.615 bales against iyo,u6 baies last
jeur. The total amount of receipts
Mrico Sept 1. 1893. have been 5,1:12,841 bales
acuinst 4,283.350 bales for the same period
lasL year. The local spot market has beou
exceedingly quiet during the past week, the

New York. Feb. 23.—1 he shorts in the In
dustrials rushed to cover at the opening of
business this morning 0.1 advices from Wash
ington Indicating that the sugar schedule
would be revised by the Senate when the
Wilson bill comes up before It. The stock
bounded up 13* to 80V General Electric rose
1 to 38*4. and the other actlvT stocks >, to *4
per cent. The market outside of the Indus
trials was quiet throughout and net changes
confined to the fractions. The dullness
excited comment in view of the developments
In the sliver and grain markets and can be
accounted for only by the fact that operators
are determined to keep their hands off until
something definite Is known regarding the
tariff and income tax law. Sliver broke all
records again, falling to 27)* and per ounce in
London. In the local market commercial
bar fell to 58J*c, and Mexican dollars to 48'4c.
In ordinary times a break such as to day's
would have turned things topsy turvy in Wall
street. The slump In London was ascribed
to liquidations by a defeated bull pool who
bought the metal on the idea that the Indian
government would impose an import duty on
silver. Overproduction and the withdrawal
of the -United States as a purchaser
were also given as reasons for the break.
This drop might have had some effect had it
not ueen for fairly large purchases of wheat
for western account, which not only strength
ened the price of the product but prevented
the bears from following up their tactics of
the past week or ten days In the grangers.
The rise in foreign exchange also fell fiat so
far as the stock market Is concerned In the
afternoon there was a decline In Chicago Gas
of I*4 to 621* The active list fell off in
sympathy, but the decline In no case
was equal to a full point. New York Central
and American Sugar made the largest losses
outside of Gas. New York Central was weak
on the talk of cutting east bound rales and
poor earnings. Near the close Sugar was
taken In hand once more and moved up to
KOIa and as a result the market left off firm.

In London and also lower here
New Y’ork, Feb. 23.- Rlordan & Cos. say of
cotton today: “Several things were against
cotton to-day. Liverpool was lower and the
port receipts ran ahead of the estimates.
Sliver in London was lower than ever, and
this being notice day for March deliveries,
the market was unmercifully hammered with
notices, causing a hasty scamper of the be
lated holders of March contracts to get out of
them. The opening was only 1 point lower
than Wednesday s closing. Mav selling on
the call at 7.65 c. A little later It rallied to
767 c, but tho pressure to sell March
was Irresistible. 3 he whole list
gave way. May declining to 7.54 c. In
the last half hour, owing to the covering of
one of the leading local shorts, there was a
rally of about 5 points. May reacting to 7.59 c,,
but the improvement was not maintained.
The close was steady with 7 51c. bid for May.
The bulls arc fairly dazed at theextent of tho
continuous decline. The cause of the sharp
slump to-day was slmpiv the lack of buying
powder to ausorb the heavy > offerings inci
dental to the liquidation of March holdings.
The liquidation, we think has been very
thorough, but'the bears still profesß to be
confident of lower prices."
