OUR TRADE REVIEW.
II Will Give a Full Statement Of
SaVanlah'S Business for The
Last Year.

tust closing will be long remem bered
nv her business men as one of
great business depression There has
been. however, no violent disturbance of
Savannah's prosperity, though like all
other cities she has not had that business
activity which characterizes her trade
when business is in a normal condition
The last cause for dull trade has disap-
peared and there is no reason now why
there should not be a good time close ahead.
The silver question aud the tariff have
been practically settled for the present,
and if there are any national causes for
business disturbances it is 70 be hoped
that they are so far of that it is not in
order at this time to consider them II
seems that it is only necessary 70 say
Lets have good times,'' and they are
here.
The diversified commerce OF Savannah
70 must soon restore the city TO its normal
prosperity. With deep water, this win.
. ter will see more ships at her wharves
than ever before, and that means more
business of every kind. Those who
should know say that Savannah 4
will probably be the second cotton port
this year, and that her receipts will go
far over 100000 bales. Her naval
stores, lumber and phosphate interests
will add hundreds of thousands of tons
to the freights that are carried from this
port in ships.
Since our last annual report the
Florida Central aud Peninsular railroad
has been completed TO this city, and now
g e Nx.aVp 10
to the north and west. Its principal
interest to Savannah is in building
up the country tributary to the city The
railroad company has organized bureau
of immigration and has gone TO work in
earnest to secure settlers
Savannahs two great railroad systems,
the Central railroad and the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, are in
splendid condition to handle all the bust
ness offering, and with the revival OF
business will do their share towards help
ing Savannah in her onward course.
The crop reports are very favorable,
especially so in the territory from which
Savannah gets her trade, and this year
there will be no difficulty in merchants
getting all the money they may need to
handle the cotton crop. 1t will be to
great extent cash crop TO the farmers,
and they will have more money to spend
with our merchants than they have had
in any one of the past three
wears. They will be on the look
out for many articles for per
sonal, household and farm purposes,
which they have had to do without for
some time.
The outlook is more promising, viewed
from any standpoint, than it has been for
years.
The MORNING News and the WEEKLY
NEWS (the latter now issued twice
week. are the mediums of communication
between the sellers of the city and the
buyers from the interior. The read
ers of these papers scan their
columns for information as to what
they should buy and from whom they
should buy. The merchant who does not
advertise in this age doesn't belong to it.
He was born century too late, possibly
longer. Every man or woman who is
carving on a business is not up to date
unless he or she spends more, or as much,
in advertising as for store rent. The
IN
Savannah for forty-fve years, 1t
has gone through all of her trials and par
ticipated in all her triumphs during that
period. To the outside world it repre-
sents all of Savannah's interests and en-
terprises.
The Annual Review presents an oppor-
tunity for advertising which every man
or woman that has any reason whatever
to advertise should take advantage Of 1t
is an occasion wher Savannah makes her
best bow to the people outside OF her
limits. The MORNING NEWS has
worked to have railroads built so
as to get people to trade with
Savannah and it doesn't want what II has
labored for so long and hard to be OF little
or no benefit. To that end it purposes to
make the Annual Trade Review a convinc-
ing argument with those who doubt Sa-
vannah's ability to handle the trade of
Georgia. Florida, South Carolina and Ala
bama. The MoBNING News repeats that
it wants to have every business house and
business enterprise represented in its An
nual Trade Review, which will be issued
early in September 1t will contain
history of the trade during the business
year, showing the developments Of the
past twelve months and the encouragingly
bright future prospects of our important
commercial city.
