Savannah, Dec. 14.—The most intvrest
feature in the leading markets to
iav was the strong demand for spirits
• r[tntine, at an advance of %e a gallon.
I’ale grades continued dull, with a decline
;jc, and very small sales at that. Tne
; ar ge lines were neglected, and no bids
tte re made for them. Tliere was a good
done, however, in the lower
■ tales. Cotton remained steady and un
, ;ai ged, with small sales. The whole
f<4;e markets were steady and fairly
a.tive. Securities were steady, with a
good demand, but the supply of desir
able bonds was limited. The following
[v-..me of the local and telegraphic mar
kets will show the tone and the quotations
a; the close to-day:
COTTON.
There was no change in the local market
q lations. The demand was fair and a

Mclntyre & Wardwell’s cotton letter by

Provident building:
"New York, Dec. 14.—The bulwark of the
market to-day, was the continued activity
of the spot business in Liverpool, where
the sales were 10,ttJO, a large quantity for
Saturday. This activity in Liverpool,
which has been a feature for fully a
month, is too striking and significant to
be ignored, furthermore futures contrary
to expectations advanced in Liverpool to
day, and as for the local market there was
very little disposition to sell. Prices ad
vanced 7 points, but most of this disap
peared later, and the close was barely
steady at a net advance of 1 to 2 points,
with sales of 68,000. Liverpool was firmer
on the spot without quotable change,
while futures there advanced 1 point end
closed very steady. New Orleans advanced
4 points, and then lost about half of this.
Spot cotton here was quiet and unchang
ed. New Orleans estimates for Monday is
12,000 to 14,000, against 16,129 last Monday,
26,831 last year, 16,816 in 1893. purchases on
the reactions are still advisable, for the
fundamental conditions of the cotton
market warrant the expectation, of a bet
ter price later on. As we are now on the
eve of the holidays, the trading is likely
to be on a moderate scale, and accordingly
the fluctuations are likely to be corre
spondingly restricted. We therefore think
that the transactions should be for mod
erate turns."

New York, Dec. 14.—The treasury bal
ances were as follows: Coin, $80,881,443:
currency, $98,385,253.
New York, Dec. 4.—The weekly state
ment of the associated hanks show the
following changes: Reserve, decrease,
$1,902,950; loans, increase, $3,170.90"; specie,
increase, $123,900; legal tenders, decrease,
$1,684.ttW; deposits, increase. $1,369.0U0; cir
culation, decrease, $12,900. The banks now
hold $18,391,325 in excess of legal require
ments.
New York, Dec. 14.—The New York Fi
nancier says this week: “The statement
of the associated banks of this city for
the week ending Dec. 14, shows an unex
pected expansion of 3,170,900 in loans
which must be attributed as much as to
the speculative excitement of the past ten
days as to a legitimate demand from mer
cantile sources for money. The interior
movement of the currency for the week,
netted the New York banks not Jess than
$2,500,000. This is probably counted in the
statement. Against this should be placed
the loss through the withdrawals of legal
tenders for the gold shioments of the last
part of last week, and the $1,003,000 with
drawn during the current week. These
losses have nearly offset the gain, but
the statement does not show It since the
hanks report a decrease of $1,684,600 in le
gal tenders and a gain of $123,900 in specie,
making the net cash loss $1,560,500. The
Increase in deposits amounts to $1,369,000,
and although this required a higher total
bank reserve, the excess reserve as a :e
--sult of the week's operations decreased
nearly $2,000,000. The specie item is slowly
Increasing, but this accumulation Is not at
the expense of the treasury, which Is act
ually gaining gold from the banks of the
country. The banks are going to first
sources for their specie, perhaps buying
assay office receipts from the producers
or bullion dealers. At any rate they can
not be accused of helping themselves at
the expense of the treasury. The gold
holdings of the New York banks are still
about $14,000,(4)0 less than the highest total
reported during this year.”

New York, Dec. 14.—Speculative inter
est at the stock exchange was confined al
most exclusively to the Industrials to-day.
These Issues were buoyant and there was
a scramble to get back short contracts.
Keene brokers were the largest buyers
and bid up prices all around. Tobacco
led the list, both In point of activity and
advance, rising nearly 5 per cent, to 76%.
Rumors were current to the effect that
steps had been taken looking to a settle
ment of the fight with the western manu
facturers, but nothing official was given
out. Leather preferred jumped 2 per cent,
to 70 and brokers of the leading trader
in the Industrials ivere large buyers. Chi
cago Gas sold up to 71%, the highest price
for a long time past, and the stock was
bought on a belief that the Whitner case
now before Judge Bischoff will be decid
ed in favor of the company. Sugar drop
ped for a time, but in. the final trading
rose to 104% from 102%. Pacific Mall ad
vanced to 32% on the announcement that
the deal with the Panama had been con
cluded at last. Railroad stocks were dull
and featureless. The selling of Reading
continued and the stock fell to 8. The
reorganization plan Is expected oil Mon
day. On the other hand. Northern Pa
cific bonds were in better demand, and the
seconds rose 3 to 10 per cent. The Grang
ers and Anthracite Coalers were quiet
and steady. Speculation left off dull. Net
changes show gains of %@1 per cent. In
the railway list and %@4 per cent. In the
Industrials. Sales footed for a half-holi
day the large total of $885,000. The sales
of listed stocks aggregated 82,270 shares
and of unlisted stocks 53,295 shares.

Chicago, Dec. 14.—The week's business
in wheat, which still remains open this
morning, was cleaned up pretty well be
fore the close and for a half holiday
There was quite an active session The
liquidation of "long" property exceeded
that of "short." as demonstrated by tin
position of prices at the close. Outsiders
were evidently without interest in thel
market, judging from the limited num
ber of orders received, and apathy per
vaded the local crowd, in so far as'trans
acting new business was concerned A
decline of %6%d at Liverpool afforded no
encouragement, and was the cause of a
fractionally lower opening, which how
ever, proved to he the outside quotations
for the days. May wheat opened at 60%,c
declined to 60c. where It closed %c under
yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and
@%c per bushel lower.
Corn—The sentiment In corn was decid
edly adverse to prices. May coin opened
at 28%c. declined to and closed at 28V—
%c under yesterday. Cash corn was
steady, but closed nominally easy and
%e lower.
Oats—From being the strongest grain
market on the floor tills morning oats
in the last hour, liecame the weakest'
and lost % of a cent from yesterday!
Thr early buying was for "short” ac
count. and by the elevators. The selling,
which precipitated the break, was gener
ally with many of the early buyers quite
active In the opposite direction May
closed %c under yesterday. Cash oats
were weak and %@%c per bushel lower
Provisions—The receipts of hogs this
week were just a trifle below the ex|tee
tatlon, and a moderate decrease in the
arrivals next week is looked for. That
fact and the strength of the market #t
the yards, stimulated the product n little
to-day. Whilst there was no particular
vigor to the buying, there was. however,
less In. Mention to sell. At the close May
tsjrk wa* 7%c higher than yesterday,
May lard and ribs each 5c higher Do

Lamson Hros. A Co.’s Chicago market
letter, by prlvae wire lo T. F. Johnson,
broker. Provident building:
“Chicago, 111., Dec. 14.—Reviewing the
wheat situation for the week, the action
of tho market has been anything but en
couraging to holders. Tile first of the
week all the news seemed to be of a
bullish character, a decrease In the visi
bles, lighter shipments from India and
Baltic ports, extraordinary domestic de
mand, large premium paid for cash wheat,
all seem to encourage holders; later
the cash demand seemed lo diminish,
farmers' deliveries in the winter wheat
section became more liberal, and the whole
situation changed. This caused not only
a bearish feeling, which has prevailed
for so long a time, but discouraged hold
ers who have been liberal sellers at the
docline. The weak appearance of our
market, and the fine weather, has en
couraged the bears, whose sales, together
with those of holders, has caused a de
cline of fully 2 cents per bushel during
the week. Increased receipts and con
tinued selling by parties holding cribbed
corn or buying for cribbing purposes in
the country, accounts for the gradual
decline in the cereal.
Oats were In about the same condition.
A great many store keepers and others
have bought large quantities of oats
and are storing them and selling against
such holdings here for delivery. The price
is relatively lower In Chicago than It Is
anywhere In the country, where the
grain is grown, and it does not look
reasonable that we can expect any fur
ther material decline around present
prices. There Is a good demand for pro
visions. especially lard and ribs, from
outsiders."

THE PENITENTIARY CONVICTS.
The People Insist That They Shall
Be Treated Humanely.
Editor Morning News: Mr. George
Kennan, an American, who spent two
years in the provinces of Siberia, 1885
and 1886. investigating the rumored in
human treatment given state prisoners
under the Russian form of government,
set the hearts of all good people throbbing
who read his letters published in the
Century In 1888 in sympathy for these
unfortunate people.
Such indignations did these letters
arouse at the time in this country and
Europe that the czar was compelled by
popular foreign sentiment to take cogni
zance of them and institute some needed
reforms.
While the Russian people are Chris
tians. Just so far as the word implies,
yet we regard them as semi-barbarians,
for the reason that they are under tho
shadow of despotism. They have not yet
reached that high plane where a man
is a man and every man is a human be
ing. This is of Russia’s Siberia, a desert
land of wintry winds far to the north of
us.
Now, let us see ourselves, as Mr. Ken
nan bus shown us the Russians.
On the nth Inst. Representative Rea
gan. chairman of the committee on peni
tentiary of our state legislature, called
the attention of the House, through an
Investigation made by his committee,
to tile "cold and heartless treatment, al
most too horrible to be believed" man
ner In which our prisoners are subjected.
The icport says most all of the -amp*
ar< in a fearful condition; that the pris
oners are half-starved, hall-clotlied uti l
are subjected to every cruelty. Til!* is
enough of the dark scene Isid In our own
n. ttve state for me to give yon no sub
ject; "What Is to He Done?”
Tbs' something must tie done, ttiat
genu thing is going to be,done, to remedy
*
people of Georgia, til this eullghuu-st age.
are not going to remain quiet and sub
mlsrlve while the name of their state la
being dragged through the mire by a few
heartless contractors and bosses.
Your editorial of tlte 13th Inal,, on
"Treatment of the Convicts” has the right
ring to It. 1 ask with you, whose duty
Is It to attend to this matter; to see that
the. prisoners are humanely treated? Why
Is it not enforced upon those on witos'w
shoulders the duty devolves? Has the
Angel of Mercy taken flight? Are wo. aa
a people, left to grope in the dark in
si arch for a principle we cannot find?
God forbid!
Just after the shameful occurance, in
connection with the severe freeze of last
Winter, which left In Its wake convicts
In Chatham county with frozen hands and
reel, where amputation was necessary, I
heard a man say that “they were only
convicts, and whan a man violates the
las he cannot expect to find * bed cf
rcses awaiting him.”
1 What Is law? Is It to be strong, with an
Invincible force behind It, to crush the
life out of all who come in Its way? Is
It the arm of a great demon, who has no
soul . I would rather believe not.
But, for a fact, where one Is sen
tenced to serve a term of Imprisonment
In this county or this state, you can
mark that man, whatever hts crime
might have been, civil or criminal, aa
forever being a menace to society. He Is
forevermore an enemy to all that Is pure
■nnd holy, and each succeeding year finds
m heart blacker In the ways of evil.
Why? Because the brutal lessons given
him by the overseers and guards are such
ns make lasting Impressions In rebellion
and hatred for the human race. He ar
rives at this conclusion honestly.
One will say: How can you manage
them without the lash? Easy enough.
Have in connection with each camp on*
or a number of dark rooms, and when n
convict refuses positively to do work
while In a healthy condition, place him in
solltury confinement with plenty of a)e
and darkness only for companionship. Ig
will be found a merciful punishment fog
obstinate prisoners, and pinety-nlne times
out of a hundred the state or county
would not lose more than twelve hours
labor before such subjects would arrivn
at the wise conclusion that it is mor#
pleasant to be along with others, under
the open skies, though the price be la
bor.
This matter Is now before the peopl*.
I do not believe they will give It rest till
their servants, the officials, shall hav*
regulated every camp by seeing that th*
prisoners of this state have over them
humane guards, that they are properly
fed and clothed and that the lash Is ban*
lshed forever. Humanity.
—Max O’Rell says that John Bull la
a compound of "lion, mule and octopua."
He Is dangerous before and behind and
all around.
