OUR TRADE REVIEW.
1t Will Give a Full Statement Of
Sayalnah'S Business for the
Last Year.

The business year in Savannah that is
Just closing will be long remembered
by 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 normal condition,
The last cause for dull trade has disap-
peared and there is no reason now why
there should not be good time close ahead.
The silver question and the tariff have
been practically settled for the present,
and if there are any national causes for
business disturbances it is to be hoped
that they are so far off that it is not in
order at this time to consider them. 1t
| seems that it is only necessary to say
Let's have good times and they are
| here.
The diversified commerce of Savannah
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
| will probably be the second cotton port
| this year. and that her receipts will 90
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 and Peninsular railroad
has been completed to this city, and now
| forms a part of a new route from Florida
| 10 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 a
| 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
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 IL has been for
| years.
The MORNING NEWS and the WEEKLY
| News tJhe latter now issued twice a
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 ia this age doesn't belong to it.
| He was born a 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

terprises.

tunity for advertising which every man

worked to have railroads built so

| Savannah and it doesn't want what IL has
! labored for 50 long and hard TO be of little
or no benefit To that end it purposes to
