REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE WEEK.

Cotton Recovered From Its Decline
and Spirits Advanced Gradually
Throughout the Week-Advent of
Foreign and Domestic Buyers
Partially Accounts for the Inn
prOvement in Spirits-PnIe Grades
of ROsin Advance, While Me
diums Decline.
Savannah. Sept. 15.-TSe several ad-
vances which have been noted during the
week indicate a general Improvement in
business. The cotton market recovered
from the slight decline it suffered the early
part of the week. Spirits steadily advanc-
ed, and all grades of rosin were firm and
in good demand, There were advances in
pales and declines in some of the medium
grades
Spirits have been in strong position all
week in consequence. Of a demand created
by foreign and domestic buyers coming in
to the market at the same time. 1t is
said the Northern buyers of spirits be-
lieved that after the August contracts
were flied factors would have an abund-
ance of supplies on their hands. which
would have the effect of causing a decline.
Instead of this condition of things the dis
position Of contracts found the market
firm, and it has not only held this position
but has been steadily increasing. Values
have reached 45 cents bid, with fair pros
poets of the price going to 451a cents. 1t
is known there were bids after the close to-
day at the advance price. Resin remain
ed firm, and a number of large transac-
tons were reported during the week.
There were no changes OF consequence
in the wholesale branches, which remained
steady and fairly active Commission
men have had profitable week. Cali
fornia fruit is now being handled in good
quantities, and shipments from other
places are being received. The approach
of the winter season will have the effect
of charging business in this line, and par
ticularly as to perishable articles. The fol-
lowing resume of the different markets
will show the tone and quotations at the
close to-day, and the comparative cond-
ton of trade during the week.

which will be known as Populists day.
Eastman Times-Journal: Now that the
legislature is soon to convene, we hear
very little said about that body holding
only biennial sessions. The efforts of the
"B. B." politicians to put a quietus on
the agitation of this matter seem to be
having the desired effect.
Houston Home Journal: The plan of
nominating Superior Court judges and
solicitors will be considered early next
year by the state executive committee.
Circuit primaries will meet the conditions
correctly.
Dawson News: There are indications
under the surface that Mr. Hoke Smith is
training for the senatorial prize fight next
year. If he enters the ring Bacon will
find his solar plexus.

connection with the senatorial race from
the Fifth district is Hon Lem johnson,

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpontine-Good transactions in
the face of an advancing market has been
the prevailing condition in the turpentine
market during the week. Despite the fact
that values have been gradually moving
upward the close of the week scoring a
gain, the offerings have been quickly
wiped up daily. The demand is due to the
fact that both foreign and domestic buy
ers are after spirits Throughout the
week the market has ruled firm at the
prevailing quotations. The receipts for
the week were $3.50 casks and the exports
1850 casks. The stock at the close to-day
was a. 463 casks.
Rosin-The week has brought an in
crease in values in the pale grades while
there has been slight declines in others.
The scarcity of water white rosin has
caused the price of that grade to advance
10 cents, which buyers and factors have
hoped would bring il to the front. There
Is some doubt expressed as to whether this
grade Is to be had or not, sales OF several
round lots were made during the week,
and factors seem to be well satisfied with
general conditions. The receipts for the
week were GOSH barrels, the exports 9,7S2
barrels, and the stock at the close to-day,
152,65l barrels.
Quotatons--At the close OF the market
to-day the following quotations were bul-
letined at the Board of Trade;

New York, Sept. l5.- Speculation IN cot

price changes too narrow to stimulate in

started a scurry of shorts TO cover.
The rise was soon supplanled by slight
net loss under foreign selling, rumored to
be for protection of heavy purchases Of

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS LOYAL

The New York Journal prints two col

Gratis in New York State in answer to

claring that the New York Democracy
is loyal.
Mr.. Frank Campbell, National Com
mitteeman, said:
in reply to your telegram, / will
state that / have read Chairman Jones'
letter in the Journal of today. The
New York Democratic organization is,
and always has been, loyal to the party
and its candidates. Ne county organi-
cation in the State was more loyal than
Tammany in 1896"
Mr.. Norman Il. Mack, the leader of
the Democracy of Buffalo, said:
II shall say to Chairman Jones that
there is not. particle of doubt in my
mind that the Democrats of New York
will be for the reaffirmation of the
Chicago platform and for William J..
Bryan as the candidate. In Erie county
there will be no division on these ques-
tions."

AS spring comes on. most women and
many men who have lived hot-house lives
during the winter find themselves unduly
fretful, unable to sleep soundly. without
appetite, easily tired, frequently distress
ed by headaches, and lacking snap and
strength-the result of poor blood and
weak nerves
TO those in this condition, the thou
sands of testimonials from people like
Mr.. Guerra who have been benefited
by Paine's Celery Compound, should be
reason enough for giving this best of all
spring medicines at least trial What
it has done for others, it will do for the
reader. 1t will purify the blood, clear
the complexion, rejuvenate the exhaust
ed nervous system. insure good digestion,
bring on healthy sleep, and restore ones

No other medicine in the world ever
accomplished so much, and single

people in every community who gratefully
sound the praises of Paine's Celery
Compound.
