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

! just closing will be long remembered
| by her business men as one of
great business depression. There has
! been. however. no violent disturbance of
! Sayannah's prosperity, though like all
other cities she has not had that business
activity which charactcrizes 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 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
Lets 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 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 and Peninsular railroad
has been completed to this city, and now
forms a part of a new route from Florida
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.
Savannah's 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. IL 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
years. 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

buyers from the interior The read

longer. Every man or woman who is
