The morning news., 1888-09-06

Early in the season, as the weekly receipts of
rough were tabulated aud given to the trade it
became apparent that there would be a heavy
deficit in the domestic crop, and that as prices
advanced foreign rice would have to come into
use to supply the demand. Consequently in
March the first full cargo of foreign rice i'm
ported into this market since the war,
arrived direct from Java, followed in
May by another cargo still larger
than the first. The total receipts of
foreign rice at Savannah mills amounted to
$1,000 bushels of sixty pounds each. The effect
of this cheap rice upon the lower grades of do
mestic was at once manifested by decline of
$s1IIc. per pound, and as the trade became
more accustomed to its use, Pataa, Java and
Japan rice, which had been prepared for market
by our mills here, sold alongside of the cheap
qualities of our product at the same prices for
equal grades. The higher styles of domestic
also felt the depressing effects of this foreign
influx, and from the arrival of the first cargo to
the end of the season prices ruled about 56434c
lower than the highest point reached in Feb
ruary. With the exception of the rice which
was damaged by water. the quality of the
domestic product was fully up to the
average of past seasons, grading strictly
fair to good. The low prices obtained for the
previous years crop had rather discouraging
influence ON the culture; still there was COM
mendable enterprise on the part of planters in
procuring good seed and in general cultivation.
The total receipts Of rough in this market re-
ported to the Board of Trade amounted to 455,-
$50 bushels. against 6S5. .7e6 bushels the previous
year, leaving shortage of $50, ,l27 bushels The
exports have been as follows:

market, and henceforth our receipts will be the
present crop. Spirits turpentine has been
promptly marketed, and there is no surplus at
the stills. The falling off of the present crop,
as compared with the last crop, seems to be
definitely fixed now at to 8 per cent.
The Importance of our market is evidenced
ceipts at the three great markets of the produc-
ing section. Its further importance is atteSted by
the character of the transactions of the past
year. Our market is no longer SO dependent
upon New York and London, as in former years.
but has assumed, and is maintaining an inde-
pendent position, modified, of course. by the
natural laws which govern all trade. Where we
used to follow the quotations of other markets,
they now follow us.
PrtceS.-The price of spirits turpentine, in
the beginning of the year Sept. 1C, was down to
29c. 1t gradually but steadily advanced to 41c
on Jan. l3, and then fell off easily to 36@37c in
April, the beginning of the new season, declin-
to 32c. May /. Since that time the market has
been running up and down, from 32c. to 35c.,
touching 3l34c, on July 13 and closes firm at
35c. bid. The general impression is that higher
prices Will prevail during the fall and winter,
as the supply is being steadily consumed, and
there Will be no surplus to carry over INTO next
season.
With rosins the case is different. Our pro-
duction has brought forth its legitimate fruits,
and we have had dragging market generally
during the entire year. The common grades
most of the receipts from Soc. to 95c per barrel.
The other grades have ruled proportionately
dul, n" selling down as low as 81 4719 the
lowest price known in this market. There is
no probability of much better prices unless pro-
duction is largely checked, and there seem to
be indications pointing to that end While we
do not think we can ever again have such large
crop the crop of 1887 49, the demand for spirits
turpentine viii compel the manufacturing of
rosin, which will keep up the over supply unless
the manufacturers run the rosin off into the
ground, as they used to do during the civil war.
The usual statistics will be found below:

improved. But for naval stores the rates con.
tinued lcs and very few vessels were found
seeking business. For coastwise sail business
the supply OF tonnage was generally equal to the
requirements of trade and rates ruled Unusually

figures during the year. The volume of bust
ness decreased materially, both as to lumber
away and the usual cargoes brought to this
port The home manufacture of Ice and of
fertilizers account for the latter fall

Of lumber by steamers and direct bv
rail from the mills, has lessened the Shipments

their effect is becoming more noticeable. Hencs
the indications are for a diminishing trade for
sailing vessels in future. The following is the
total number of vessels arrived at this bort dnr
ing the year, with their rigs, nationality and
net tonnage. The number does not includa
arrivals at Tybee, but only the vessels which
have actually arrived at the wharves and hava

FREIGHTS.


Stednl.-In steam freights during the past
year there a slight falling off from those
of the previous season, for the reason that not
as much cotton was shipped to direct ports, and
consequently there were not as many tramp
steamers The reason given for this was that
freight rates ruled low throughout the season.
opening at l9-64d. for Liverpool and went as
low as l7-64d In October there was slight
scarcity OF room and rates touched 5lGd A
2l-64d. in November. There were other causes
which served TO keep tramps from com.
ing, one of the principal ones being
the numerous fires on shipboard early
in the season. This cause will. to a
great extent be avoided the coming season. as
the llghtering will be done by house tiats and by
flats having tarpaulins. The coastwise steamers
did an enormous business throughout the year
They carried a great deal more than half of the
very large receipts of cotton from this port; be.
sides their truck and watermelon business was
more than doubled. They mad also heavy in
crease in miscellaneous freights. The outlook
is much better for tramp steamers the coming
season. The latest charter, the British steam.
ship Charleton, was effected at 40 shillings
which means about 9sd per pound as the open
ing rate for Liverpool
The following is the number of foreign steam
ers, tonnage and bales of cotton carried from
this port from September 1857, to Aug. 81,
1883, and FOR the past eight years:

FINANCIAL.

The financial condition of our banks, factors
and merchants has improved during the last
twelve months, if we are to judge from the evi-
dences of prosperity that are TO be seen around
us. The balance sheets of all the banks show
increased earnings and larger reserves. The
new enterprises that are springing up and the
increased volume of business testify to the solid
standing of our business men.
The railroads that lead into the city have all
made larger gross and net earnings than they
did last year BY referring TO Bradstreet's
tabular statement of railroad earnings for the
last six months (See page 526 of Bradstreet's
of Aug. 1s), it is encouraging to note that the
southern roads show an increase in earnings
compared with the six months OF the year be-
fore of over per cent, whereas the other
groups of roads stand as follows:

The year just closed was inaugurated with
great deal of uncertainty both with regard to
the extent of the crop, which had been badly
damaged by the August floods, and also as to
the course prices would take in view of the
heavy shortage of the domestic crop. The loss
occasioned by the overflow in August was
very large, in many instances the entire
yield Of certain plantations were swept away.
The first of the new cropwss received on Aug.
10, being some ten days earlier than in any pre-
vious year, but the quality was impaired by
green rice; consequently the price obtained was
not the fancy figure expected. The market
opened in September with good at 416GD456c.,
and advanced during the month to 41*05c
AS receipts increased, prices declined little,
and in October they ranged from 4160c 4s4c
The following is about the average for good rice
during the year by months:

Now it we select from the southern group the
Central Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia, and its auxiliary roads, we find, by the
Official reports, that for ten months ending
July 1, this SYSTEMS gross earnings were nearly
II per cent greater than the ten months o. the
year before; these earnings reaching the enor-
nous sum of ,7o0, against So, 436,120 for
the year previous. So IL is seen that the per
centage of increase of one of Ssvannah's great
feeders rs much larger than the general average
of southern rosds. 1t is estimated that the Bir-
mingham extension and other new lines built,
or to be built will add between Is and 20 per
cent to the business of this system, so it is not
out of the way to say that next year the gross
earnings will ovcrrun S7000,000
