SAVANNAH MARX EFT.
WEEKLY REPORT,


OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS. i,
SAVANNAH. GA, Dec. II, 1885,
GENERAL REMARxs.-The general market
during the past week was comparatively
quiet in joDbing circles, though there was con-
adorable activity in the retail trade The
SPOT buyers were largely augmented by the
numerous stockholders of the Central Rail-
road and Banking Company, who were in at
tendance on the annual meeting of that com
many, but they paid more attention to trading
than to the meeting and their purchases were
quite liberal, but were confined mostly to
holiday goods. There was fairly large Job
bing business doing in groceries and provis-
ions, while in other branches there was q
heavy falling off in the movement and de-
mand but this is always the case at this
period of the year. There were no special
features In the general market worthy of
comment and but few price changes. Those
that did occur were unimportant. Collec-
tions were rather slack. The money market
was easy, but foreign exchange was irregular
and unsettled. closing steader. The security
market was very dull for pretty much the
whole list, and Central railroad stock was
very weak and declining. The appended re-
view will show the conditions and latestq no.
tations OF the different markets.
NAVAL SToREs.-There was fairly steady
market for spirits turpentine during last
week. but the demand was not very active
except for one or two days business. Prices
continued without change. The total sales for
the week were about l.500 casks. Rosin-The
market showed considerable firmness for tn e
first half of the week. but the heavy receipts
gradually weakened it and prices fell of
slightly. The demand was quite steady, and
about 10000 barrels were disposed of during
the week. Elsewhere will be found table of
receipts and exports from the begInnIng of
the season to date, showing the stock on hand
ana on shipboard not cleared, together with
the official closing spot quotations.
RIcE.-The market during last week showed
but little change. 1t was very dull and to
some extent nominal. The demand was mod
crate aud the total of the weeks business
small. The sales were about 700 barrels at
mechanical nriCeS.

THE G. A. H. APPEAL.

When the Christian minister, Finch, oI
Mississippi, wrote his immortal poem
"The Blue and the Gray, the most beau
tiful sentiment in it was inspired by the
action of Northern ladies placing flowers
on the graves of the Confederate dead
and is as follows:
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding river be red;
They Danish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Tears and love for the Blue,
Love and tears for the Gray"
Now, after twenty-six years, comes the
cry for help from the people OF Charles
ton, in the harbor of which was fired the
shot which made the war fact, and
through the Commander-in-Chief OF the
men who answered that shot, the cry is
taken up and brought home to these
men, that they may give as their means
will allow to build homes and give food
to the families OF the men whom they
met and vanquished on the field OF
battle. 1t was grand act on the part OF
General Fairchild, and the response from
every city and plain in the nation
will be equally grand, proving that
the men who faced the people
of the South as deadly foes
in years gone by, have Christian and
kind hearts, and many suffering women
and children will be comforted by means
OF the gift of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, which in this particular cause has
the opportunity now of proving itself
grand indeed. Let the response be gen.
eral and generous, and give the lie to the
preachings of political demagogues that
there is any feeling but that of fraternity
and brotherly love between the soldiers
of the North and those of the South. Let
every man who wears the honored badge
OF the Grand Army make a special
task of hunting up his comrade, and
see that both give such as they
can to this noble cause, and thereby
prove again and again to the chivalrous
people of South Carolina that the war
was ended at Appomattox, and that the
greed of lying politicians is not truth in
regard to their feelings for those who
manfully fought for their principles. Out
side and away from the appeal to the
hearts of all mankind, special appeal
comes to the Grand Army, redolent Of
sad memories and searching the hearts
of the men in Blue, saying, "Now is my
chance to prove my veneration for the
men whom Ifought, and will avail my
self of it." The Department of Utah will
doubtless be to the fore in this, as in all
good works, and it is hoped that the gen.
eral result will be such, and so generously
rendered that all men in the ruined city
will feel touch of reciprocal love for the
givers, and thus cement more firmly the
bonds of unity and fraternity among the
men who wore the Blue and those who
wore the GraV

OUT OF WORK.

The following from the Scientific Amer
tcan is so pertinent just now that We
publish it in full, without comment, feel
ing it must appeal to every man of fam
lily, who, in these days, before approach
ing winter, can undoubtedly find some
thing to do to tighten the cares and bur-
dens of his wife, and thus make home
happier: " Doing nothing and doing evil
are sometimes almost synonymous. A
man whose habit is work finds idling at
home very distasteful method of pass
ing the time, and he gravitates to the
social knot of acquaintances, whether they
are on the street corner, in the grocery,
or in a saloon. He may be member of
some trades union, and his obligations to
the society prohibit him from working at
his trade; but if he is family man, he
can find work that will be unprohibited
and useful, without going from his own
door. No allusion is made to the more
laborious portions OF the housewives
work, although there is opportunity here
for grateful and proper assistance.
But an observant eye can find num-
Der OF little jobs to do that will make
home pleasanter and increase the con-
veniencies of housework. To illustrate
from fact. \ worker found himself sud-
denly shut off from his daily earnings.
but he did not seek other involuntary
idlers like himself to bewail the i'll for
tune. He looked at home for something
to do, and found it. Several of the NOR
tlse locks on the doors refused to catch
their bolts. He took them out, and
found broken wire spiral springs. For
these he substituted bits of rubber. and
made the locks better than before. He
washered the knobs of the doors that had
rafting play whenever handled. He
put new thresholds and storm guards to
outer doors which had admitted flood
to the front hall and to the kitchen when
ever the rain was from east or south.
He frightened rattling windows, and
where the upper and lower sashes met
he placed fiat strips of wood covered with
woolen cloth on one side and edge; this
kept out deal of cold wind. The stove
top was not large enough to hold
utensils in cooking in addition to
others just lifted of. He went to build
