Savannah, Aug. 25.-The usual business
depression during August, which is being
felt in some of the departments of trade
at present has not brought business up to
the standard it was desired to bring it the
past week. Notwithstanding local trade
is just far enough from the fall opening
to hold down the volume of business, the
fact that the bank cearings for the week
the corresponding week last year, shows
a gratifying improvement.
While there was no furry in the cotton
market, il fully recovered from the losses
it sustained the previous week. There
was a response to the advances in New
York, which resulted in the local quota
tons jumping up on Monday and Tuesday
On Wednesday the market came TO a
halt, however, and since then there have
not been any further changes. Cotton
men have been watching conditions close
ly during the week, there being consid-
erations at present before the spinners
which. If given any weight, will have an
important bearing on the trade through
out the country. The comments of Liver
tach to the various crop estimates now
being sent out, are attracting general at
tention. Crop conditions in the cotton belt
are perhaps looked to as the paramount
consideration in estimating the crop. 1t
is stated in the dispatches that there were
no changes in the weather conditions in
Texas during the week.
Spirits turpentine dropped according to
expectations ON Wednesday, when the
market was posted nothing doing" This
was due TO the fact that al August con-
tracts were filed, and buyers became
rather Indifferent. The market did not
revive until to-day when 46 cents was
paid, with sales of GO casks All grades of
rosin We're in fair request, though The
market is suffering from the dullness it
usually experiences at this season. There
are few offeril SIS of the higher grades Of
rostn.
The produce market has been quiet all
week Shipments have not been large,
ard commission men have seen to it that
cOnsignments which did come We're dis
posed of without delay. Considering the
warm weather produce men do not com
plain of the temporary shortage in ship
ments Eggs are coming in limited sup
plies, which has resulted in prices jump
ing up from TO 4 cents. In the whole
sale departments of trade business CON
tiuued fairly active. The following re-
sumo of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations at the close to-
day:

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentne-The market fell OFF
after Tuesday. Up to this time spirits had
been quoted at 40 cents with sales on that
day of 81 casks. 1t was asserted in some
quarters that these sales were made the

ton Of few days until the market would
be posted as doing nothing. These expecta-
lions were fulfilled on Wednesday. From
then there have not been any transactions
To-day 4G cents was bid, with sales of 60
barrels. Buyers are Indifferent at present,
but 1t Is believed values will soon Yield
when business will he fully restored

New York, Aug. 25.-The cotton market
reduced scale and of a stiI more local pro-
fessional character than of late. The
opening was steady at a decline of 3d6
points, the latter in September, due to the
large number of notices issued this morn
ing. Liverpool cables were better and
bad crop accounts were received during
the first hour. The early selling soon
stopped and the market rallied on cover
ing of shorts and continued steady, on
large buying by brokers representing a
large Philadelphia firm. Liverpool trad
ed on both sides of the market. Com
mission houses were again fair buyers and
Wall street later in the session also
bought. Local traders and the bear ele-
ment and some Southerne interests were
the principal sellers. The volume of busi-
ness showed some falling off and this was
regarded as an unfayorable factor. The
large receipts of new cotton were also
used by the bears in their endeavor TO
keep prices down. The close was steady
al an advance of points TO a decline of /
