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

The Volume Satisfactory in All
Lines, Notwithstanding Trading
Was in the Face of Advancing
Markets-Bank CIearinEs for Feb
ruary Show an Increase of $14,-
100000 Over same Month Last
Hear-An Increase of Over $4,000
COO for the Week-NaVaI stores in
About the Same Position Local
and TeIegraphic Markets.
Morning News Office March 1.-The
volume of local business was very salts
factory during the week ending to-day, as
shown by good transactions in cotton,
naval storesf lumber, and in the wholesale
branches of trade. The fact this i'm
provement was made in the face of stead
lily advancing markets makes the showing
the better, and indicates that present
prices for all staple products are being
we'll maintained.
The week was not an exception to the
six or eight preceding weeks in showing
an enormous increase in the Gearing
house reports. For the week ending to-
day the clearings were S., 527, 713.SS, against
week last year of So, 26S 1929. The week
closes the month of February, which
shows an increase in the clearings over
the same month last year of nearly $14,
100000. February of 1899 showed the
clearings TO be $S,S52. 1865, against $22,-
492, O42.O4 for the month just closed.
The cotton market has attracted much
attention because of the renewed upward
tendency, which has carried prices beyond
the expectations of few. After the adj
vances of the week majority of the trade
admit that the chances appear to them IA
vorabe for ten-cent cotton, which is apt
to be had soon at the present rate of adj
vance While it is true much of the i'm
provement during the week was due 10
speculative buying, it is also true that
cotton still occupies a strong statistical
position, which is largely accountable for
the movement Middling closed to-day at
94 cents, and good middrng Tic cents.
The tone of the market was steady. The
receipts for the week were S0,SO9 bales, and
the exports $3.50 bales. Savannah is only
about 600 bales behind the receipts up
10 this time last season.
Naval stores did not show any great &C
tivity, and closed to-day practically I'M
changed. Resins went up in some grades,
but went off in others, which left the mar
ket in about the same position. Business
was done in a limited way. There is no
immediate prospect of an improvement. in
fact none until receipts begin 10 grow
and a greater demand prevails. The whole
sale branches were steady, with. a good
business doing in all lines. The follow
ing resume of the different markets Will
show the tone and quotations at the close
to-day and their condition during the past
week:

COTTON.

The cotton market has entered upon
another skyward movement. Last week
the market was at standstill, during
which it seems TO have gathered strength
for the remarkable advances of the past
week. considering the gain scored pre-
yjously. The advances closed to-day with
&c on all grades, at which the market
was posted steady. AS conditions are
different from what they have been in
wears past and in many respects entirely
new to the cotton world, it is not surpris-
ing that the oldest operators are al loss
TO size up the situation Neither is 1t
surprising that many circulars were sent
our from local sources during the week
giving the opinion that further advances
were improbable, when the market jump
ed at once. The more conservative do
not consider it safe 10 venture an opinion,
with conditions wholly unsettled The
receipts for the week were 30,SO9 bales,
ard the exports $3.50 bales. The receipts
this season were 932, 1874 bales, against $751;,
51e same time last year.
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the close of the market at the

of this pressure the majority of the stocks
