Markets.


Savannah, Jan. 15.-There were no
changes of importance in the market to-
day, and for this reason business in all
lines was rather draggy. Spirits turpen-
tine was firm AT sic, but the receipts were
small, which was given as the reason for
the quiet state of the market. After buy
ers made their usual early inquiries and
found practically nothing offering, they
retired for the day. Rosin remained firm
and unchanged, with the demand still good
for everything that will likely come to
market. Cotton was steady ana unchang-
ed, with nothing TO add interest TO the
situation. New York futures dropped 10
points during the early hours. but recov-
cred all but a point at the closing. Liver
pool closed alta decline of and points.

markets will snow the tone and Quota
