NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentne-The week in the spir-
it's turpentine market was filled with un-
certainty and anxiety, caused by the neg
lect of the buyers for several days and
the perpendicular drop in the price. The
support that had been holding the market
up was removed and the price materially
declined AT one time 1t was fully 3B
cents below the closing price of the pre-
vious week
The weakness In the market began to
assert itself on Saturday when a decline
of nc from 81 cents was recorded at the
Board of Trade. The reported sales at the
close on that day were 300 casks at 31%
cents a gallon. On Monday the market
was neglected by the big buyers and the
reported sales of the day were only 4S7
casks at 31% cents. On Tuesday the mar
ket dropped NC to 81 cents, with sales of
300 casks reported, followed by a decline
of cent on Wednesday to 30 cents. AT
the opening of the market on Thursday
the best bid was 2S12 cents, but later that
bid was raised to % cents, at which the
market closed. After the close en- Thurs
day there was good demand, and this
morning TIE price was bulletned at 29la
cents bid at the Board of Trade, with
sales of COZ casks. At the close the quo
tation was Doc bid, with sales of 1873
casks at 291k and $40 casks at 30c.
Rosln-The feature of the week In the
rosin market was the advance on pale and
low grades. There was a good demand
for the offerings during the entire week,
and a very satisfactory business was done.
To-day the market was especially strong
and prices on several grades advanced At
the first call at the Board of Trade the
market was unchanged, with sales of e79
barrels. At the last call there was an adj
yarce of is cents on water white, cents
on window glass, 5 to Is cents on N, 10
cents on NJ, to 10 cents on X and
and = mart advance of cents on e and
below. The sales were 1852.
Quotations-At the close of the market
to-day the following quotations were bull
letined at the Board of Trade:

DRY GOODS.

New York, Oct. 15.-The dry goods mar
ket was without marked change to-day.
Mail orders were scant, especially orders
for speedy delivery. In woolen and worst
ed lines for next years supplies there was
a continued fair demand reported in al
most all grades; the probability Is that
buyers will come into the market for
spring and fall goods for 1898 with some
degree of freedom, as it is expected tina,
a good trade will prevail in consumptive
markets. The feature of the market is
the weakness in print cloths. The demand
from jobbers is still quiet manufacturers
and converters being more in evidence
than other classes of buyers. Collections
are still reported to be in a favorable CON
dition. Staple cottons are without marked
feature. Print cloths spot, extras, are
still quoted a 7-16c. Prints are still
very active.

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING OF GOOD
WORK.

The Virginan commends The work
done by the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION in providing evening classes
in which young men, VINO are employed
during the day. may find the opportuni-
ty for Improvement lei education. The
report of last years work showed prac-
tical results and the course provided for
this year, as shown elsewhere in our
columns offers special inducements to
men to use their spare time in fitting
themselves for better work which is an
essential to better wages.
The movement to give employed men
the opportunity for practical education
commends itself. The evening classes
Will help young men to help themselves;
they Will supplement the work of public
ana private schools; they will enabl.
young men to increase their efficiency
and merit increased salaries. The Asso-
citation Is to be commended for under
taxing this work and providing so liberal
a course at such small cost.

SOUTHERN COTrON MILLS.

The annual report of Secretary Hester,
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
shows a gratifying increase III the
amount Of cotton consumed by Southern
cotton mills. 1t shows that 1877 more
bales OF cotton were consumed this year
than last the total this year being L.
042,61. Tho number OF mills also IN
creased. there being 4S2 this year to 475
last year. When 1t is remembered that
in 1SS9-90 only 546,S94 bales were con-
sumcd by Southern cotton mills the
rapid growth OF this important business
of manufacturing cotton into cloth and
other necessities is at once noted.
And this Is not ALL The outlook is that

officers were sent to Halifax to look
after the docking OF the big shin. but
owing to- failure to properly block the
ship, she bulged and sustained serious

says: During the recent docking of the
pattai'estlip indiana her bottom bulged

OF the turrets was so great that the bot

accident to the Indiana because critics
in the United States will be disposed to
throw blame upon them and accuse them
OF purposely trying to cripple one OF the
best vessels in the American navy"
In referring to the ln:shap. under the
cnptlcr OF "a Dry Dock Revenge" the
Augusta Chronicle makes the assertion
that the Indiana was once safely docls-
ed at Port Royal, and, in all probability,
she would have had equal success again
Instead of sending her TO Port Royal she
WAS ordered to a British port, and it has
proved u costly substitution. The only
real objection to Port Royal" asserts our
contemporary, 'ls The lack Of equipment
in machine shops, and 1t Is q shame that
these requirements nave not been
promptly furnished. When the dry
commander of the naval station there,
in an interview with ChrcNicle re-
porter. took it for granted that imme-
date appropriations would be made to
do some dredging toward the channel
costing Il few thousands of dollars, ana
that Tie necessary mechanical equip
mcnt would soon be provided. The sue
cessful docking OF the Indiana demon
stratcd that dredging was not absolutely
necessary, but would be n wise precau-
ton, stopping all jealous or oarping
criticism IT Is of the opinion that ut
the approa ching session or Congress the
South Carolina and Georgia LeSisla-
lures should cncrgetcally Insist upon
necessary appropriations TO make the
Port Royal dry dock all that such an
cstabl lsilment should he. II that dry
dock had been located nj any eastern
| port, 1t would long ago have been pro
vidcd with Shops and foundries. We
trust there will be no direliction at the
| coming session OF Congress, but 4
strenuous effort made to complete the
outfit for Port Royal.
The Chronicle IS right-the country
should srave a dry dock OF its own sum-
cicnt to receive the largest ship afoat,
whether the dock is located at Port
Royal South Carolina, or Norfolk, Vir-
ginia. We should have the dock, and
that, too, without delay.
