Savannah, Sept. 9.—The general whole
6UV markets were particularly active dur
ing the latter part of the past week. Mail
orders had been delayed for over a week,
and shipping had been retarded by the
washouts on the railroads, but as soon as
communication was established with the
interior the business was resumed. The
only features in the wholesale depart
ments during the week were a decline on
corn and an advance on sugar. The cot
ton market, after remaining quiet until
the last of the week, steadied and ad
vanced Thursday under the influence of
a stronger demand and higher prices at
Liverpool, but that demand slackened to
day. There was a strong demand for spir
its turpentine, the market advancing
steadily. The receipts were light, owing
to the inability to get the product to the
i .broads and the delay of the railroads,
caused by washouts. The rosin market
was firm, with a good demand. The lum
l)i r business was almost at a standstill. The
heavy rains delayed shipments from the
interior and the non-arrival of several ves
sels which were bound here, but were lost
in the storm, curtailed the movement of
tac Savannah stock. Securities were firm
and desirable Issues were difficult to ob
tain. The following resume of the differ
ent markets will show the tone and the
quotations at the close to-day.
COTTON.
A little spurt ot a day was the only
feature in the local market during- the
week and was all that broke the monoto
ne of a very dull business. The receipts
were light and offerin vere small. On
Thursday the advane- Liverpool caus
ed a rise of l-16c in s| J arid steadied the
market, but the falling off of the demand
to-day caused the market to get quiet
again.

first call the market was bulletined steady
and unchanged, with sales of 79 hales.
At the second call it was quiet and un
changed, with sales of 20 bales. At the

New York, Sept. 9.—There was a decid

a decline of 2@6 points and further de
clined I@3 points under selling orders from
abroad, unsatisfactory cables, decidedly
heavier receipts, bear hammering and ab
sence of speculative support. There was
a slight reaction on covering by less con
fident shorts, who were driven in by fears
of a bullish government report to-morrow
and unfavorable average to the weather
news. The closing tone was steady, with
prices showing a net loss of 5 to 6 points.

New Yoik, Sept. 9.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos.
say of cotton to-day: "Europe received
so many offers of prompt shipment from
the Southwest last night that Liverpool
did not respond to our local steadiness of
yesterday. Foreign markets expect a re
duction in the bureau report to 82. but
evidently consider that the improvement
west of the tylississippi will offset any de
mand east of the river, as a result of
the recent rainy weather. Selling against
purchases made in the South broke our
market to-day. though the trade is some
what impressed with the continued rainy
weather through the Atlantic states. Each
day it rains now makes the date of frost
more important to a large section of the
cotton belt. Unless crop estimates be
come reduced it will be difficult for this
market to absorb the hedges which are
being offered against spots.”

New York, Sept. 9.—There was further
drastic liquidation in the stock market
to-day at an expense to price of stocks
of between $1 anti $2 per share in a great
many cases. Disappointment over the
fixing of the St. Paul dividend at only 2%
per cent, continued the prevailing infl
ence and no attention was paid to favor
able developments or to the indications of
an easier condition in money. The sed
ing was evidently in the nature of specu
lative profit-taking and came from an
element that has iiersisled In the confi
dence that prices were certain of a fur
ther advance. A great port of this on
fldence has been based on the supposition
that the St. B’aul dividend would be In
creased and would awaken general activ
ity and widespread on* side interest as
was the case with the increase in the Bur
lington dividend. There was a short-liv
ed period of firmness to prices early in the
day on a demand to cover some of the
shorts put out yesterday. This movtm. nt
was encouraged by the failure of the Lon
don market to reflect any violent depres
sion on account of the St. Paul dividend,
but the advance in prices was met by
continued heavy offerings and by noon
the movement to throw over stocks was
in full force again and prices were tumb
ling throughout the list. Blariy gains
in a few special eases were almost com
pletely wiped out. Among ihee stocks
which have recently been subject to at
tack on account of individual causes of
weakness there was a noticeable hesitancy
on the part of the bears aliout putting
out short lines. It was, in fact, evident
that fresh commllmtnts either on the
shorts or the long side were not in or
der and the activity of tne market woe
almost entirely liquidation, pure and sim
ple, due to the hardness of the money mar
ket. The distinctly easier tone of money
in the afternoon brought recovery in
prices aside from that due to covering
by the room traders. The reduction of
(he call loan rale to 2% per cent, resulted
in the steadying of foreign exchange and
a check to the advance of the I,ondon
money rate. New York banks continue to
lose cash very heavily to the sub-treas
ury and the shipments of currency to the
interior show a large increase over those
of last week.
The bond market showed the effects of
liquidation though to a less degree than
in stocks. Total sales, $4,000.00). United
States 5s advanced $2 and the new 4s
Vi, while the 3s when Issued declined %
in the bid price. There were large deal
ings In the 3s at from 105% down to 105%
at the close. .
