Products Continue Firm, With Good
salss-The General Wholesale Mar
kets Fairly Active Supplying Holiday
Goods.
savannah, Dec. 2.-The general mar
ts,s have been moderately active, espe-
ally in the jobbing trades. and there was
, marked improvement over the week
bsfore. orders from the country have
been rather slow, but the dealers were
tspt busy supplying the local demand.
The security market has been very dull.
with nothing doing except in a small
rsddling trade. The grocery trade has
been fairly active with orders for holiday
Goods. which has been fully covered.
cotton has been the most depressed
srsnle in the markets. 1t declined early
in the week. under the pressure of con-
,inued heavy receipts at the ports and
interior towns. and the gradual, but steady
decline in futures. The local receipts of
cotton at this port have been fairly large,
presumably on account of the approaching
holidays, but the demand has been linn
tied. and sales have been very small.
In naval stores there has been lively
business done. ana prices held very firm
throughout the week. The sales aggre-
gated about the entire amount Of the re-
reipts. This fact was encouraging TO the
PRODUCERS, as it gave them a full supply
Of money for the usual holiday expenses.
The retail trades have been quite active,
though somewhat decreased in comparison
with former seasons.
The following resume of the different
markets will show the tone and quota
tons at the close to-day:

firm during the entire week, and although

the factors allowed them to take. The

being seemingly satisfied that the prices
are low enough, while the factors appear
willing to accept the prices when offered.

ST. LOUIS, May IS. There was an excit-
ing set-to at the foot of Locust street.
which began on the transfer wharfboat
and ended in the river. The principals
were Captain Harry n. Brolaski of the
steamer Pargoud, and Captain William
II. Thorwegan of the Grand Republic.
The difficulty has been brewing for some
time past and grew out of the fact that
each was managing an excursion boat.
The competition for trade was lively and
no point OF advantage was neglected by
either boat. A war of words led to scuf-
fie in which both fell into the river. The
water was up to their armpits, was muddy
and cold, but this did not deter the bellig-
Grants from pounding each other until
hauled out by the police.
