SAVANNAH. GA, May II, 1888.
GENERAL REMARKs-During the past week the
a;gerent markets have been characterized by
49, came general features reported for some
+ine past. The general market is yet lacking
animation, and the prospects for any early
;p,nroyement in the situation are certainly not
arconraging At first hands the demand by
,,orsonai selection was unusually light,
snd the requirements of the nearby interior
h,vers small, judging by the orders now coming
coward both by mail and wire. The principal
distrbution was on back orders, which in the
carly part of the month came in quite freely,
.,a outside of this there was not much accom-
clishei in the way of a shipping movement.
n the wholesale grocery trade jobbers re-
r,rt a fair business, though the demand
i less active than short time ago, but values
show n very firm fe3ling. In dry goods-The
