savannah, Sept 1S.-The close to-day
showed an advance in spirits turpentine,
which has recovered from the recent de-
cline and now shows decided upward ten
denotes. The advance is backed by a
s,rong demand, which promises to keep
the market moving higher. At a half cent
above Tuesdays closing it was reported
that the offerings were about all taken.
Rosin was firm and unchanged, except as
+, grades l, X and NJ, some of which sold
at an advance. The days transactions in
both spirits and rosin were considered sat
izfaclory
The cotton market ruled quiet at pre-
yious quotations. The sales for the day
we're less than half what they were on
Tuesday. There is a gradual increase in
the daily receipts, however. and the stock
to-day is more than double what il was for
the same day last year. New York closed
steady with an advance of 10 and 10
points Heavy buying was reported from
number of sources. and particularly by
Wall street. The reduced crop estimates.
which were reported TO be plentiful, had
the effect of producing a iirmer feeling.
The Geographic reports showed that
wheat closed steady at an advance of one
cent. oats were shade lower than Tues
DAYS cosng, while provisions enjoyed a
sicht advance New York cotton futures

ed Liverpool futures closed steady at an
advance, and spots were in demand aud
unchanged.
The local wholesale markets remained
unchanged. Produce was in fairly good de-
mand at previous quotations. Supplies are
limited. The following resume of the diff
ferent markets will show the tone and
quotations at the close to-day:

WERE WITHOUT INFLUENCE.
Liverpool Advices Played No Part In
the Advance.


New York, Sept. 13.-Murphy & Co. say
of cotton to-day: Liverpool advices were
without influence, though our market open
ed a shade higher. This improvement
brought out sellers notably large Broad
way houses and especially when it became
known that Neill reaffrms his previous
crop views. From the low prices made
under these influences there came a sharp
rally of six points under local and some
Southern buying. Europe was a seller
The expectation that some revision would
be made on grades to-day probably helped
the rise. The early afternoon session saw
the firmness continued on new buying, and
a scarcity of sellers. Receipts by COM
parison with last year do not now show as
enormously heavy as they have been doing.
The New Orleans future market led in
the advance this afternoon. which is 10
points higher than last night"

The General Bows to the Action of the
Assembly.
Havana, March 13.-General Maxine
Gomez has accepted his dismissal by the
assembly from the command of the Gu
han army in dignfied open letter. The
gray chief acknowledges the authority
OF the assembly to depose him, and de-
clares his intention of withdrawing from
politics and retiring to his Dominican
home. my only aspiration after thir-
ty years Of fightingr he says, sis the
welfare of Cuba, which / love SO
much!"
Havana is dumfounded at the mani
festo. and all day the streets have been
thronged with excited men denouncing
the action Of. the assembly and shouting
''vivas" at every mention of Gomez. A
procession of men and women, bearing
Cuban, American and Dominican flags,
paraded the streets the entire morning,
and made frantic protestations Of loyal
ty before the governor generals sum-
mer palace, where the COMMUNICATIVE
chief is lodged. Threats of personal
violence against members of the assem-
bly, are freely banded about, and mass
meetings to protest against the assem-
biy's course are being arranged by the
dozen at the political clubs

Commerce Commission in Chicago.

Chicago, March 13.-The interstate
commerce commission is in session in
this city to consider charges of unjust
discrimination in freight rates on ex-
port corn which, it Is claimed, are made
against Chicago and Illinois in favor Of
Iowa and Nebraska points by the rail-
roads of the Central Traffic association.
1t is charged by the board of trade
men that through this discrimination
20,000,000 bushels Of corn in Chicago
warehouses has been locked up so tight
that it's sale has become impossible
The session of the commission has a
wide interest from the fact that during
it the first fight in what may be a
struggle OF years for Chicago to retain
it's control of the grain shipping BUSH
ness will be begun.
