OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,
SAVANNAH. GA, June 8. 1888 (
crsrRAL REMARKs-The prevailing tone in
.hs General market was comparatively dull,
-itb not a single feature in any particular
h.onch to relieve the monotony. Business in
Est departments seemed to be of about the
-,snal character and volume for this period of
~ wear. The requirements for
.aassorting purposes among interior
n,erchants and the large retailers do
not appear to be particularly heavy or urgent.
sill the orders both by mail and wire, as well
a. local purchases of the various classes of
Goods reach a very fair aggregate, considering
tbe time of the year, and as far as the weather
Dc concerned and the liberal extent to
,rb,ch wants were filed in the early
snrne. Taking it all in all, the movement
shows no slightly better thanthe usual average.
There was general absence of nearby dealers,
r,ble there are but few travellers on the road,
which is usually the case at this time The
,rbolesale iobbers, however, continue in a very
s.,ra and the opening up of the
fal trade is looked forward to eagerly. There
we're but few changes in values and the only
feature in particular was the decline in the
orain market. In groceries there is a steady
movement but in limited quantity In dry
Goods the status of business remains the same,
tbedernand at first hands continuing very mode
ra+e In all other departments there is moth
ing in demand or movement of moment and in
the former it is still quite light. Collections are
slow and in small volume. The money market
elbows little, or no change. Exchange is steadier
for domestic. The security market is rather
inactive and the only incident worthy of note
was the per cent, semi annual dividend in
central railroad stock The appended review of
the weeks business will show the tone and latest
quotations of the different mar ets
at the closing hour to-day.
NAVAL SToREs-The market for spirits turpen-
tine was rather irregular and unsettled during
last week and in the early part of it sold down
10 S314c for regulars but again rallied and
touched 3334c closing at 3319c- showing a clear
decline of 34c since last week. The weekly
as compared with the previous
season The sales for the week were about
1900 casks. Rosin-The market was compare
lively quiet, but with prices easier and lower.
There was a fair demand, and about
$500 barrels changed hands during last week

comparative statement of receipts and exports
from the beginning of the season to date, and
for the same period last year, showing the
stocks on hand and on shipboard not cleared
together with the official closing quotations.
R1cF.-There were some slight signs of i'm
movement in domestic grain, with more of a
demand than for some time past Prices of
really desirable qualities were steadily main
tanned, as stocks are so well in hand that there
is little or no pressure on the part of holders to
force goods on unwilling buyers The total
sales for the week were about $50 barrels. The
buying in the imported article was somewhat
slower than usual, ard but a nominal business
was doing:
