The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-12-30

Continued heavy receipts have exerted de-
pressing influence upon our market, and we
close at decline OF about four points from last
evening At the opening the good tone Of for
eign advices induced some buying, but the
supply was free, and the market declined with
scarcely a reaction to the close. So far, no
signs of any check to liquidation can be seen"
