Local and TeIegraphic Markets.
Savannah, Dec. S.-While the volume of
business during the past week fully justi-
fed expectations, the fact some markets
advanced had the effect of checking trad
ing. Buyers in the naval stores market
were not inclined to trade on Thursday
when all grades of rosln We're marked up
five cents. The same may be said of spir-
its turpentine, which also went up to the
limit and then reacted promptly
The bank clearings for the week were
$4,195, 737S2, against $3,25S, SS119, which
shows an increase of $685., $3.50. While the
volume of business is less than 1t was this
time last year, because of the fact cotton
is not moving to any great extent at pres
ent, the value of the products which are
being marketed is far above the prevailing
prices of last year. The monthly table
the Custom House, shows a large increase
in the shipment of phosphate. A large
number of coastwise vessels have recently
visited the port, and taken cargoes of luul-
Der to Northern ports, which is among the
big items of the months business.
The cotton market is in a waiting atti-
tude. A halt has apparently been called
by factors, and other holders of cotton,
until eight cents is offered for good mid
ding, or there are evidences that the price
is not going any higher. As the hope of
better prices is quite generally shared
throughout the district with which Savan-
nah trades, the sales as shown at the Cot
ton Exchange nowadays, are comparative
ly few. The wholesale markets during the
week were steady, and a good. business
was reported. The following resume of
the different markets will show the tone

The first of the buildings destroyed by
the Hotel Miami fire of a few weeks ago to
be rebuilt are the novelty works of Con-
tractors Mcclure & Mcdonald, on Avenue
d, near the river, and the large stable
owned by the same firm in the rear of the
mill Both these buildings are now we'll
under way, and present a very imposing
appearance. 1t is believed by many that
ALL or nearly all, of the buildings de-
stroyed at that time will be replaced in
the near future.
There has been no perceptible. change in
the labor situation at Tampa so far as the
street car system is concerned. The Tam
pa Electric Company has never made any
change in its attitude toward the strik-
ing employees, and the strikers have never
made any change. The Union bus line is
still being operated, and is evidently haul
ing large number of people. The travel
on the street cars still shows a decrease,
and a number of business houses are not
using the electric lights in Difference to
the wishes of the laborng people of the
city.
There are at present four men confined
in the Hillsboro county Jail charged with
murder Two of them are white, James
Bitch and Joe Licata, and are charged
with killing white men. One negro, A.
w. Wideman is charged with killing an
other negro. Steve Stanley a negro, is
charged with killing a white man at Port
Tampa several years ago He made his
escape, and for years enjoyed liberty. He
was finally located in Texas and brought
back during the summer. 1t is presumed
that these four men will have trial al
