SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 80, 1922 (
GENERAL REMARKs-Business. as usual for the
last week in the month, shows slight falling of
IN the total volume as indicated in the clearing
house returns In the jobbing trades, however
the demand was fully as large as for tn
nreyious week aud there was a rela
lively good business doing on orders
from travelling statesmen, well as from
the number of spot buyers The general market
As whole was quiet, and there appeared to be
little interest manifested. The only feature of
importance shown was the strength exhibited
in the spot cotton market and the advance in
rrices While there ar a number of buyers look
ing over the market there appears to
be no hurry in their movements which
accounts in q great measure for the small busi-
ness doing in the spot market. The money
market is quite easy again, while foreign ex-
change has relapsed into weakness. The secur-
ity market was strong for Central railroad stock
and debentures, influenced by the developments
of the past week, but the heavy advance has
failed to bring any sellers on the market. There
was no material change in the
demand for groceries and provisions;
the volume of business continues large, with no
important price changes, and especially IN the
staple goods There was fair trade in progress
IN dry goods, while IN oJDer depdrJLiSutS VI OHO
wholesale trade the amount OF business was
only moderate Collections are very slow. The
following resume of the weeks trading will
show the tone of the latest closing quotations
of the different markets to-day:
