developed a very unsatisfactory business in

ne-s was more or less sluggish. The
filer was quite seasonable, and favored a
h-tter trade than was had. The features of
o. e week were the firmness in naval stores.
, l 3rg e purchases, and the depressed con
d . on in the cotton market, ’the demand for
l,' n her is quite brisk, and freight rates
steady. The money market is comfortable,
bu t the demand keeps up actively for this
season of the year. There is considerable
complaint about unsatisfactory collections,
The following resume of the week's business
. ! show the tone and the latest quotations
of the different markets at the close to-day:
Naval Stores.

th* i -li a tvpographical error.
Ihe market has been lively, the de

d ' „ l'radcs have fluctuated somewhat within
“V a diu of 10c. but the other grades have held
firm at the same quotations as last reported.
Ihe sales for the week were about 15.UU0 bar
re 1 - 1 There is every evidence that the de
land will keep up for some time to come, as
there’s auout forty vessels expected to ar
rive here within the next thirty or forty days,
the most of which are expected to load with
n ival stores for Europe and the continent.
There are two steamers now loading at this
non with naval stores which will take large
cargoes Several sailing vessels are also
taking cargoes of rosin. The factors are feel
ln .eluted over their successful effort in sus

market at present or higher prices.

Cotton.
The marker through the week was more
or less dull, with prices easy and unchanged.
Ihe demand was rather sluggish, and there
wii- a very small business transpiring during
the week. The receipts at the ports continue
fairly large for this time of the year, which
serves to throw a good deal of doubt and un
certainty in controlling markets regard ng
ihe t xient of the size of the crop. The total
Files for the week were 1 u?D bales.
■n Clapp & Co.'s New York weekly review
"■ me markets the following is said of cotton:
Ihe ; tills, say receipts are behind the 1889-
_ 1 c "p to date, with no reason to expect over
. 2-- '.mm t ales. Consumption in Europe.es
pec:;tilv on the continent, is unusually large,
ihut the visible supply Sept. 1 will likely be
hi mm laics less than Sept. 1,1893. Invisi
ble stocks everywhere are light. The
new crop is having a late Start, and a
emp of 8,250,000 to 8.500,000 bales is
needed to supply consumptive demands. The
K c- :> only 10 per cent, above the lowest for
Years past. Summer months delivery
" ■!'' arcr-.tly oversold. Bears claim large
receipts completely upset all the small crop
!■ ': that 161,621 hales received the first
twenty days in April against 117,879 for the
''h-i.e month of April, 1890. is no bull argu
niCh" Ihe 1889-yo crop was 7313,726 hales.
ih'VM le supply is now 127.081 bales larger
than u year ago; prices about the same and
trill.- worse. The largest mill In New Eng-
Ydng 1,000 hales per week, has cut down
'H' O about one half. Liverpool has
uip y enough to meet English wants and
th' , cpi I. 1894, a larger stock than in 1890;

New York, April 27.—The Sun s cotton re
view says. ‘Liverpool was disappointing at
tirst to the bears and later to the bulls Tno
interior figures nt one time pointed to a heavy
increase m interior stocks, but the decrease
finally proved to l e 6.0J0 hales less than for
the same week last. year. Liverpool was not
only lower, but less active. Deports of im
pending strikes in Fall Kiver and New Bed
lord certainiy did not have a reassuring
effect. Trade and speculation were dull, and
prices, after some covering of shorts ami
brief rallies, closed slightly lower on most
months. The crop news, us a rule, is favor
able."
New York, April 27.—Riordan & Cos., say of
cotton to day: ‘ihe market today was an
exceedingly nervous one. the decline in Liv
erpool was scarcely as much its had been ex
po. ted. and our opening was ai a: out yestor
day s closing'prices, the tirst trades in Ai g
ust being at 7.42 c. After the call the tone >c
curse weak; August, under the pressure of
large offerings, selling down to 7.37 c. Then
th“ feeling suddenly changed, and August
rallied to 7.40 c. and fluet mied l ©tween 7.30 c
and 7.4ic for an hour or more, in the after
noon the mat ket mtcame distinctly nrm, and
for some time 7.43 c was freely bill for August,
and sales took place at.4ic. But in the linal
dealings there was a renewed wcakn ss and
the close was l arely steady, with 7.40 c hid for
August. It is usual for the market to have a
sharp recovery on the heels of a heavy liquid
ation. such as we have just hid in Muy and
the ina;ority of the traders rather expert a re
action of 10 or 20 points: but the accounts of
Hi" new crop are so favorable tint tin-ex
petted advance may not occur. If it should
occur, we hardly think it can last, nnlena
there should t*e some unforaeon bullish de
ployments. Much will depend upon the at
titude of Liverpool to morrow.”

Chicago. 111.. April 27 Scalpers again
ruled the wheat market to-day Th© outside
world did not appear to take any interest
whatever. The total amount of business
transacted could easily have been u row dud
Into half an hour of a fairly activo session.
It is beginning to be believed that the big
lines of May wheat exist only in the imagina
tion of some people, and that no violent fluc
tuations n that option are go ng to bo seen,
'lhore was a little widening of the sp cad be
tween May and July to day, which indicated
that some changing was being dOQ©. but
tiK*re were no large lines turned
over. The general feelin,' after a
fairly steady opening, was one approaching
very ilosely to weakness. Puts sustained
values for a time, but when that demand was
satisfied, a further dro,iping followed. Just
before the close, there was a little tinner feel
ing evinced. May wheat opened at 58‘ B c,
ranged let ween that and 58c. closing G-'V
lower than yesterday at July closed
r c lower than yesterday. Porn yielded to
the tine weather, lower 1 a.’iles and good re
ceipts. There was only a s alpors trade go
ing on all through the session. No large lines
were either 1 ought 0 • sold The range of
prices was narrow. May fluctuated between
B‘bc and 38 1 2 e. closing 38!c\ a net loss
of \iC for the day. Oats showed
much less of an advancing tendency
than even they evinced yesterday, and gave
evidence of an entire dtsapnearan. e ot the
frignt shown by shorts of Wednesday, 'ihe
amount of business transacted was only
moderately' large, and a good proportion was
in covering ot May. Provisions, after a
steady opening on change advices from the
yards, as to the live hog market, product
became easier, on free offerings by some of
ttu* i ackers The weakness of grain was an
other cause for the decline in provisions.
Ribs were .slightly tinner than pork or lard at
the close, which was 29. lower for May pork.
