SAVANNAH, March ?, 1883.


WEEKLY REPORT.
GENERAL REMARKs.-Last weeks market
was comparatively an active one, the weather
being very prOpitiOus for business through
out the week, still there was q slight easing
up Of orders, which Of course was anticipated
IS this Is not unusual at the ending Of each
month. Still, all the local as well as in
terror distribution was in good volume and
might be considered quite liberal in some few
departments, particularly so in the dry goods
j0bbing, and also in the grocery trade The
idea Is more generally entertained that
the spring trade will be satisfactory in every
particular, Notwithstanding the many draw
backs, and also the anticipated lower price
for cotton during the coming season
However, jObbers seem to be in a more hope
ful mood, and are apparently well satisfied
with the outlook, which. with all things con-
sidered, is very promising. The money mar
ket continues in a very healthy condition.

ed, which was very sharp in provisions. In

response from buyers, in view OF the heavy re-
ceipts, which are all the more remarkable on
the eve Of the new crop wear. the first
shipment Of the new crop being re-
eeived at this port on Monday last.
The sales for the week approximate 5000 bar
