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.

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.
