SAVANNAH. GA.s NOV. x, Iocc.
o.r REMARKs.-The general market
Gas comparatively quiet and to great extent
,..t,,reless. The nearness of the close of the
pai;tical canvass has had much to do
pGth the general quietness. In the
,nhl,;,o trade orders from trav-
-. both by wire and mail were in very
49, vo,unne, but consisted mainly of small or
- Cor filing in stocks. The shipping move
49, however, has been pushed forward pretty
-.n;dlv. and there has been a good move
san+ all around of the heavier
a,assas of merchandise. The weather
sas continued rather mild and is not
.oIculated to stimulate consumption of the sea-
oorshIe goods Business, as a whole, is quite up
~ +ba average at this time of the year, and the
s,+,,ra is regarded with considerable confidence
~ commercial circles. 1t is anticipated that
.,ora active demand will set in for hoh-
dow goods as soon as next week S election
- sa,tIed. In groceries there continues a very
Steadv demand from first hands, but in dry
Ids it is only in moderate volume and quite
ssisornointing. In other departments trading
,ros fair in some and rather slow in others.
WaIres. as a rule, were fairly steady the most
,,,,,ortant changes being the decline
- provisions and coffees. The money
rnarket continues comfortably easy, with a
-ood demand Domestic exchange closes very
raak and tending down. Collections show no
;nprovement as yet. The security market was
rotber feverish, and quite an advance is noted
IL Central railroad stock, while the whole list is
ro-v firm. The following review Of the weeks
business will show the tone and the latest quota
,;ons of the different markets at the closing

CoTroN-The market has continued quiet and
ensy throughout the week until to-day, when
