SAVANNAH, GA, April 20, 1892.
crSrRAL REMARKs-The week just closed
,o exception to the rule, and a COMPARE
s,,, anil one was recorded in commercial cir
intact, trading was generally restricted
~ mall limit, and most nouceaoly SO in the
SAVING departments. OF course the interven-
Of the holiday (MemoriaI day.
-s,s,ced it somewhat. but it is
I,.oys the regular rule toward the close OF the
9TH for buyers to reserve their orders. The
-,I,r,e of business in the leading staples was
1so seriously restricted, in point of fact, it was
-. 5ulest week experienced for several
.-orrbs while one of its most discouraging
sao,rrss was the petering, out in the cotton
-oorser of the show OF vigor which it had
4,,eIopsd previously, as also the weakness dis
r1avsd in naval stores, owing To the heavy sup
rFss coming forward and the large offerings of
Ef+ tonnage, Collections are still slow and I'M
satisfactory, although some jobbers are taking
~ q more hopeful view of the future outlook,
,,,,,,h exercising a cautious disposition in their
.-ararions with the intey:ior. The money
ulorKet continues easy. Foreign ex-
,honge was firm but dull owing to a very
s,a,r inquiry for bills Securities are also rather
.,,at In the lumber trade there was nothing
.av TRANSFERRING and the long looked for i'm
n,,van1ent does not materialize, although all
i,5ications point that way. In other branches
~ trade the movement is gradually shrinking
=, the level of a summer basis. The following
,osun,e OF the weeks business will show the
time and the latest closing spot quotations Of
the different markets:
NAVAL SroREs-The spirits turpentine mar
hat was somewhat steadier during last week,
aI+bongb prices toward its close had lost &c.
Volues as a rule. however, were quite irregu-
lar There was a fairly good demand, freely
met aud quite a steady business was accom-
~ shed The total sales for the week were
11robably 1000 casks. Rosin--The very heavy
IIacsipts and slow demand has weakened
raI,es considerably and caused a decline of
fnIly soc in strained and good strained while
The better grades held up pretty steady. There
o-as pretty full offering stock. but the busi-
rsss dong was small. The sales for the week
~ re about II 600 barrels. Elsewhere will be
found a weekly table of r. ceipts and exports as
compared with like period last year, showing
the stock on hand and on Ship-board not
cleared together with the official closing quota
tons
C0rTov-The spot market during the past
vceeK was comparatively steady and prices
we're fairly well held. Much of the strength,
however exhibited week ago has been lost,
owing TO the lockout in large number Of En-
7lish mills which, to certain extent, restricted
trading in the primary markets. The Offering
stock is not, to say, large for this time and is
exceedingly well held, aided by very easy
money market The total sales for the week
we're only 1877 bales. The market closed TO-
1ay steady at the following official quotations
ofthe Cotton Exchange;
