Freights Take a Jump.
THEY GO UP 1-64 IN8IDE OP
F08TT-EI0HT H0UB8.
Tbe freight market has developed
a 'decidedly bullish tendency this
week and as a result rates have gone
up a point and there to a, possibility
of a still further advance before the
week has ended.
At present the Savannah ship
brokers are quoting as follows:
Liverpool, %, Bremen 25-64. Tbs
Inchhona, which sailed yesterday,
and the Alcester, which leaves today,
loaded a great portion of their cargo
at 11-82. “Two days ago.” said a
prominent shipping merchant this
morning, “I tetod ta gnt a man to
take freight room for 2,000 bales of
cotton for Bremen at %. He refused,
saying that the market was about
to break. This morning be came
and said he would accept the offer.
It was too late, though. He will
have to pay 25-64 now, or just 1-64
more than he could have got room
for forty-eight houre ago.
“Our latest advices from Liver¬
pool," he continued, “say that De¬
cember terms are extremely scarce,
and that the demand for gflrin to
great and growing. There can con¬
sequently be but one natural result-
higher quotations for December and
January.”
He was asked if the accumulation
of cotton during tbe ryeeufc strike
had any effect upon freights. Hie
reply was no, that tee increase was
entirely doe to the active demand in
other branches of commerce. The
only result of tee strike to tee fact
that there to cotton on hand for the
cargoes of ail steamships in port.
Judging from the tenor of the re
marks of all tee shipping menanoth
er advance of 1-64 may be expected
within the next week.
An infallible sign of physical decay

The receipts tor the week are the
largest of any week dace the 1st of
November. There is a great deal of
cotton still in the hands of theplaht-
ers, and receipts may be expected to
hold np well.
The receipts tor the week ending
December 21,1888, were 1,441 bates,
and the total receipts to that time
were 17,529 bides. This shows an
increase to data for the present year
of 8,416 bales. It will be remember¬
ed that last fab was unusually favor*
able for cotton and that the crop
was forward and mature, and mar¬
keted early. The lateness of the
present crop has been matter of gen¬
eral comment all over tbe country,
and it to well known that many of
the Adds are white with cotton now.
In despite of this slow and backward
season Griffin’s Griffin’s receipts receipts in in the the great great
staple have Men vastly greater to
date this year than last, and with
the returned development of tnecrop,
the evidence reluctance of the farm¬
ers to spend their money hurriedly,
it to plain that oar volume of busi-
ness in this line to greater than the
last, and likely to be still farther in¬
creased from this time forth.
Of course tills to a cheerful and en¬
couraging sign of prosperity, and dto-
counts efieetually any possible croak¬
ing that may have been indulged in
Griffin.
If it be said that the farmers bring
their cotton to Griffin bot do not
spend their money, a moment’s re¬
flection will convince business men
that this is merely a distribution of
trade for them over several months
Instead of concentrating it all into
one month. If tbe farmer doss not
spend his money all now he will sore¬
ly have more to spend in summer,
and as wants are never still, be will
trade more in summer if he lias
traded less in winter. It is about as
long as it to broad, and will inevita¬
bly work opt in the best way for the
farmer who tias wants and the mer¬
chants who supply him.
There fa nothing, however, in the
present conditions to justify any
complaint In a business way. The
town to full of people; oar maguifi-
| with Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.
