sequently appreciated. They are assuming
an important factor in real estate sales. 1t is
not generally known that every month in the
year an enormous sum is disbursed
by these associations, and that this sum is
mainly absorbed in transactions in real nrOp-
rowing money on real property, and it would
seem that some legislation is required to pop-
ularize this security by simplifying the man
ner Of realizing upon it when necessary to
fOreclOse.
Our city to-day presents more inducements
for the investor and to those seeking homes
than any seaport city south of Baltimore. We
are a prosperous people. The facilities for
business, education, and the advantages Of
health and social enjOyments exist and are
combined as in few other places. These ad-
vantages are being appreciated by the out
side world, and Savannah is steadily in
creaslng IN population and in wealth. Our
own people are surprised at the growth Of
the city. Another year will witness a leap
beyond Anderson street in the advance of the
line Of Improvements. To obtain all the
benefits accrulng to every class of citizens by
an active real estate market we have ouly to
be loyal to our city, talk up its advantages,
and retain our confidence in the bright future
which certainly awaits it.
NAVAL STORES.

view. From the close of our last "Annual
Review" Sept. ], 1888, receipts of naval stores
continued in excess If the previous year, I'M

FREIGHTS

STEAM otton-AtnO time during the past
season was there any scarcity of steam tom
IN excess of requirements. As a consequence
rates ruled very low. This condition of affairs
was caused by the rather sharp competition of
sail tonnage seeking. The large falling
off in the cotton crop, as well as
the extreme dizziness of the freight markets in
the Northern grain and petroleum ports,
caused considerable steam tonnage to seek
caFgOes at any available port. The effect of
this forced steam freights to rule almost on a
parity with sailing rates. OF course the price
of steam tonnage is regulated by the rule of
demand and supply, and the causes which iu-
duced tonnage to oner at cheap
rates and made their running a
poor paying investment the
matter OF over production IN almost all the
great commodities Of the world-notably in
iron, steel and cereals, as well as hides, wool
and cotton manufactures, the same pervad-
ing shipbuilding. Our cOastwise steamers
have all carried fairly good freights, but
which have not been as large and as remun-
erative as in previous seasons. OF course
there was some falling Off IN cOastwlse freight
caused by the smallness of the cotton
crop as well as the depressed condition
of Northern cotton mills and the pooling
system. besides the low rates at which direct
room was offered. In the matter of foreign
steamship building for the past season there
has been a considerable decrease, and in what
was done in the way of freighters the tendency
has been to build vessels Of much larger ton
mage, greater speed and lighter draught. It
is impossible to give an accurate outline of the
future with reference to rates at this port.
Should there be an active revival of any Of the
great industries, which 1t is thought there
will be, freights will be higher, but it is not
expected to occur in time to affect the cotton
trade. The annexed table will show the
movement of foreign steam tonnage for the
past four years at this port, with cargoes
carried to Europeon and other foreign ports
direct. Some of them have carried other car
goes besides cotton, such as naval stores,
lumber and phosphate rock. The cargoes
carried from this pert have been very salts
factory, showing a greater number of pounds
of cotton to the net registered ton than from
any other American port.

Commencing April l (the beginning of the
new crop receipts steadily declined, as per
table above, showing decrease since April l,
1884, of 1875 casks spirits turpentine and
81. 443 barrels of rosin, making the loss in the
Georgia crop, present season. so far as known,
about IL per cent. The receipts during last
fall and winter were very full, in consequence
of the arrival of stocks which had accumu-
lated up the rivers, Altamaha, Oconee and
Ocmulgee, and which were locked up by the
drought during the whole summer. These
streams have been navigable the whole of the
present season, and receipts from these points
promptly marketed. o.
For the remainder of the season we look for
a heavier loss in receipts, aggregating fully 20
per cent. of the entire Georgia crop. In the
matter of pale resins the loss will be greater,
as there will be no loss in the crop of low
grade resins, there being the full quantity of
''Old boxes worked, and probably larger
percentage of common resins made this year
in Georgia than ever before. We estimate the
decrease IN pale rosins as fully IS to 40 per
cent. The foregoing remarks apply, of course,
to the pending seasOn-frOm April l, 1884, to
April l, 1885. In regard to the business for
the twelve months just closed there has been
an actual gain in receipts of 1876 casks spirits
turpentine and 50, 40 barrels rosin.

paratiye receipts at the five principal collec-
tive points:

this market having failed. This was caused
more by making contracts at low prices
based on a very heavy prospective crop.
The planter last year did not fare very well
because the bulk of the crop was sold at low
prices, and, as q consequence, many Of the
planters had 10 be carried over to this season

lose any money by the planters, although
considerable amount ofcapital was tied up in
tiding over the planters to the present season.
To sum up the season just closed in few
words, it was unsatisfactory in general re-
suits, and it Is said that there are not three
men in this market to-day who can say that
they are as well OF as they were twelve
months ago.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS,

This important factor in Savannah's COM
merce adds no little to the grand aggregate
of the value of the commerce Of this port. The
shipments from this port to the interior foot
up total of about $3.50 tons, Of which about
ID, 900 tons were sold by Savannah houses, the
balance being through shipments, of which
the bulk went to interior towns, there to be
again handled and sold. This enormous guam
tity of guano was valued at fully 1856. 500.
That the business was satisfactory to manu-
facturers, as well as jobbers, is certain. One
reason is that the very large amount which

An analysis of this table shows a steady de-
cline at Wilmington and Charleston, while
Savannah and Brunswick increase. In re-
of ownership in the Brunswick and Western
Railroad will probably turn the trade of that
section to this port, where 1t properly be-
longs-it having been opened up by Savannah
capital, and Improperly twisted into I'M
natural channels to ''build up'' a market,
while we possess the great advantage of al
ready being an established market, alive
with buyers with channels OF trade open to
all parts of the world.
We continue tables showing the growth of
the trade from the beginning to the present

Thus far the prospects are fair for more
than an average yield. The reports from
Florida indicate that rust has set IN in some
sections, while the caterpillar is also at work
in others, but it is thought that the season is
too far advanced for any serious damage.
The reports from the islands are not as good
as from Georgia and Florida: still it is said
that the crop viii not suffer as much
as that of last year. The acreage is about
equal to that Of the previous season. Moth
ing can be said as to the probable course of
prices, but it is generally thought that should
the crop equal that Of the season before las
they will rule much lower.

OctOber-The sales for the month were 1857
bags, of which 773 bags were taken for for
eign account. In the early part of the month
planters were disposed to hold for higher
prices, while the arrivals were of excellent
preparation and factors held at full figures.
BUYERS for Northern mills were active in
Florida towns; consequently receipts fell off
in this market, and the reports from the crop
were rather discOuraging. notwithstanding
all this, the common grades declined slightly,
while the medium and finer qualities were ad-
vanced. The following were the closing quo
