Morning News Office, Aug. 2. Maval stores (actors do not view the outlook for the maintenance of present prices for spirits turpentine as entirely favorable, and unless there are restricted receipts, it is possible the price may yield further. The gloomy side to the outlook is due to the fact that the re ceipts of turpentine at Savannah during July were 10 per cent, above what they were for any previous July, being above what was expected by many of the trade. Until it was seen how the receipts would foot up, buyers were Inclined to the usual belief that there would be a considerable falling off in August, which would have the effect of stiffening prices. As it is, however, the trade is suffering just now from a lack of demand caused by hesita tion on the part of buyers, who Relieve that the liberal receipts for July may con tinue into August, in which event they will be better able to get in the market on their own terms. With buyers, there fore, it is a case of waiting pending de velopments, during which accumulations are piling up in those factors’ hands who are not making deliveries. The rosin market closed firm to-day, with water white, $2.60 and $2.65, and window glass $2.30 and $2.35. There were sales of a good lot, though the demand after the closing was not reported to be very strong. The cotton market closed quiet and un changed, with practically nothing doing. The trade do not look for any revival of business until after the opening of the new crop season. Little cotton is wanted at present, and what is being bought Is to supply the Immediate needs of consum ers. The wholesale markets were steady. The following resume of the different markets will show the tone and quotations at the closing to-day: COTTON. The cotton market closed quiet and un changed, with continued dullness, so far as trading in actual cotton is concerned. It does not seem that there is to be any revival in business until after the open ing of the new season. Consumers do not care to lay in any more supplies than they are obliged to have pending the opening of the new season, and the chances of get ting in the market then on a better basis by reason of the large offerings many think will be thrown upon the market. The day’s receipts were 1,025, and the ex ports 456 coastwise. The receipts so far this season have been 1,061,511, against 1.082,799 last year.

New York, Aug. 2.—Liquidation in cot ton continued upon a large scale again to-day. The combination of bearish in fluences which have of late been in force continue in operation and very few trad ers had the courage to make ventures on the long side of the account. Some did so on the theory that the market has been oversold. The support from this class of traders, however, was not much °f a factor. Most of the buying came from the shorts who preferred to secure Profits. There was nil active feature in •he afternoon and caused n sharp rally. The market opened easy in tone at a de ■ line of 2@B points, and while showing irregularity with occasional feeble rallies, ruled in the main downward, the lowest prices showing a loss of 12&18 points. The rabies were worse than expected and private cables gave very little en couragement lo look for an active de mand from foreign consumers. The Southern spot markets were reported Qhn weak. Crop accounts were almost uniformly favorable and the official "eather map equally promising. Reports °n picking from the more forward parts °f lit* cotton belt pointed to on early movement of new cotton. Closed quiet and steady, one point higher (Oct.) to 16 Points lower.

Near deliveries weak, and despite the supposed require ments of spinners for early cotton. This market ruled feverish, near months er ratic and weak. Later positions sustained by covering of shorts sales around Bc. Weather still favorable over the belt; if continues few weeks longer, tendency will be to raise crop guesses and cause fur ther decline, owing to poor prospects for goods trade. DRY" GOODS. New York, Aug. 2.—There has been rather more general business done to-day without change in quotations. Heavy brown sheetings and drills and fine brown sheetings easy, but print cloth yam goods firmer; wide sheetings in moderate request at reduced prices. Bleached muslins quiet, but steady. Coarse colored cottons dull and Irregular. More business doing In prints. Demand for woolen goods con tinues quiet. NAVAL STORES. Thursday, Aug. 2. SPIRITS TURPENTINE-Whlie there were reported sales at the Board of Trade to-day of 500 casks of spirits at 41 cents, it is not understood (he situation is very strong at this price. After the closing It was reported that the demand was un ra isfac'ory. This seems to be due large ly to the fact thai the receipts of turpen tine for July were estimated at 10 per cent, above the receipts for the same month previously. This tends to make buyers doubtful about the receipts for August falling off, as Is usually the ease, and for this reason they are awaiting the outcome. Until there are reasonably sure evidences one way or the other it seems probable that there may be a continued restricted d'tnjnd. The effect of this will be to bring about accumulations in fac tors' hands that may result in further concessions. The day's receipts were 1,661, sales 500. and the exports 2,231. ROSINS—The rosin market closed firm to-day with the only changes being in window glass, quoted at 12 30 and $2.35. and water white at $2.60 and $2.63. These changes were reported at the opening. wli<n sales cf 2.073 barrels were reported, which constituted the day’s business. The day's receipts were 4.229. salts, 2.073, and the exports 6,115.

Jacksonville, Fla. aemi-annual dividends of 2 per cent, each was quite unexpected, as only had been definitely promised. There was a slight flurry and some feverishness in the shares as a result. But a donward course en sued on offerings of some heavy blocks which looked like realizing. This carried the stock to 74%. which was the low price of the day. Apparently the realizing be came lighter below 75 and the loom shorta covered, causing a slight rally. The friends of Union Pacific then at tempted to make use of the discrepancy in the prices of that stock and Baltimore" and Ohio both paying 4 per cent. div Mends, and by a few large individual transactions gave Union Pacific a place in the active list. But this movement quickly subsid ed. There was some strength in Sugar and in Brooklyn Transit, the first being affect ed by denials that the trade war had been resumed and the second by inspired as surances that the annual report would show larger earnings than have been hop ed for.
