OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,
SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 81. 1883.
a., RruARxs-The general market con-
70 20 show signs of very early opening up
tha business season. In pretty nearly all de-
".rtr,ents there was continued activity and
",ral distribution ofgeneral merchandise. The
.d c,,asent,rlc against Jacksonvill and its sur
qs''ndings, Of course retards the regular trade;
III is doubly counterbalanced by the very
20 amount of new business coming forward.
The demands from the regular territory usu-
~, covered by this market were less urgent,
hrt sufficient TO cause a very conhdent
ND satisfactory feeling to be mani
,asted in iobbing circles. The very favora BILE
,ron reports continue from all parts of tho
oountry. which lends additional strength to the
.rasent confident tone exhibited. Values as
r,Ie we're very firm, with a marked advance In
.be leading staples In groceries
and provisions there was a
cow heavy demand and the shipping movement
simply enormous, caused by the numerous
o,ders by mail and wire from Florida sections
heretofore supplied by Jacksonville, but shut
out by the plague, In dry goods there was
fair inquiry but unlike the grocery and pros
dSion trade, there is no demand from
F1orida, owing to the inability of trav-
.lers to cover that trade by reason of
aa quarantine restrictions on travel. In all de-
artuents there was good demand, which is
nu,ai at this time of the year. Collections are
u,rv poor, but nothing is expected until the
uovement of the cotton crop is more liberal.
The security market was dull. The money mar
let is fairly active, with the banks supplying
customers. The following resume of the weeks
business will show the tone and the latest quota
tions of the different markets to-day:

nentine was very firm throughout last week,
with a good inquiry but light offerings. Prices

kat was very dull and dragging. The offerings
we're quite liberal, but the demand was very SLOW.
