OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,
SAVANNAH. April Il, 1881. I
GEvERAL REHARKs-The markets have been
generally steady during the week. and a good
trade has been done in nearly all lines OF
business. But few price changes have taken
place and there IS no material change to re-
port in most Of the markets. Money IS in good
demand, and the supply is sufficient for all the
business wants OF the community. The stock
market has been greatly excited this week, and
very large sales Of Georgia, Central and South
western Railroad stocks have taken place, the
former having advanced, respectively, p and IS
points beyond the closing prices Of last WeeE,
and the market closed very firm this evening at
our quotations. An advance has taken piscein
bacon. and the market closes firm The tone OF
the four market is frmer, with IN advancing
tendency, but no change has yet occurred IN
figures. The demand for dry goods at
iobbfng hands has been Of a moderate charac-
ter. and the retail business has been rather
quiet, owing TO unreasonable weather. The
quotations for hides have been reduced, and
the market is easy at present figures Lard
has advanced &c. since last week, and closes
firm. The stock Of corn in the market is
light, n prices have advanced g
trhe. There Il a good demand for coffee, and
the stock Is ample: quotations unchanged.
Sugars are steady. with a fair demand; prices
same as last week. The market IS well sup
piled with fruit, a cargo having been received
during the week.
NAVAL -SroREs.-There has been rather a
light business done in naval stores dur
ing the week Just closing, and the mar
kes has been generally quiet. The sales OF

ASA barrels last week. the market closing

its turpentine during the week. The sales have
been $40 casks, against 700 last week. mar
ket closed this evening dull
CoTrox-There is very little change TO note
In this market during the week just closing.
In fact, In all the general particulars the situ-
alton Is simply a repetition OF that noted for
some time. The features from which
new inspiration is expected are on
the present crop. the influences likely
to result from the prepOnderance Of low grade
cotton over the better qualities, and upon the
new crop. the condition Of the weather and the
effect upon the planting. The weather thus
far has proven so unfavOrable that it must OF
necessity make the harvestlate. Today being

throughout the country we have not received
our cotton figures for other ports, and cannot
make our tables up 70 date. except for our own
