The Turpentine Market Closed Firm
mt 52c-Rosins Firm-SpOt Cotton
Firm and in Demand-LocaI and
TcIegraphic Markets.
Morning News Office,
Friday. Dec. 10.
Bouyant on the strength impaired to
them by the statistical position the
cotton markets rose to-day, closing at
material gains at the leading centers.
Futures were up at both New Orleans
and New York from to II points.
The spot markets, which did not show
an advance, closed firm with full quo
tations being paid.
The bullish weekend statement is
what the market derived it's impetus
from that caused it to close higher.
These figures also brought buyers into
the spot markets quite freely. Mr..
King. of the New York Cotton Ex-
change, gave out some bullish figures.
Reports from the interior were that
exporters were taking a less hopeful
view of the big crop prospects, and
that spinners were gradually coming
into the market. 1TeulCllOuS are tndl
when the movement shows a material
increase soon. consumers will be In the
market on a lively scale, because OF
the growing shortage in their sup
plies, which they must keep up to con-
tinue operations. The ports got to-
day 80 900, against 10000 last year, and
$4,000 two years ago. The ports got
1853 900 during the past week, against
$4,000 last year.
Locally the situation is firm, with
full quotations being asked in the spot
market and the interior firm in their
views in trading on the through ship
ping basis. The offerings of spot cot
ton are limited, and little is uncovered,
except at the advance or full quota
tons in the least. Advices from the
country are to the effect that there is
no pressure to sell. This independ-
ence on the part of holders has char
acterized their operations throughout
the season, and is attributed by many
as the most potential fact as exercised
by holders in raising prices.
The naval stores market closed firm,
with the demand good. The wholesale
markets closed steady. Resume of the
markets as follows:
The Savannah morning news., 1902-12-20

sales $50. The demand was regarded as
satisfactory throughout the day. al
though inquiries were limited. The
special feature OF the market was the
bidding of the National Tank and Elk
port Company. and they were perhaps
responsible for the firmness of to-days
market. Receipts were LOIS, exports 8.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm and unchanged, and closed Arm
and unchanged, sales 3.643. The de-
mand WAS good; receipts 5.24s, exports

market has been wholesome through
out the week, prices having been firm
and satisfactory with no abnormal
features.

ket to-day the following quotations

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed firm and unchang-
ed from yesterday with the demand
fair and sales by factors of 651. Less
avidity was manifested on the part of
buyers in taking cotton. This is ex-
planned by the reported sharp conces-
sions last night, when basis good mid
ding is reported to have sold at
S5-16c. When exporters came down to
the Bay and found the country asking
9-16c more than such cotton had been
sold at the night before. it was nat
ural for them to hesitate. On the
whole, however, satisfactory days
business was done.
T. o. b. MARKET-Fair activity
prevailed in the f. o. b. market with
basis good middling at skc to 9-16c.
Little cotton could be had on any 9TH
er than the outside quotation.

Russia and England Is responsible for
Russian graciousness toward the United
States. Russia sold ns Alaska for q
song. ia order to give as a thanking po-.
aition on Canada and to precipitate
probably quarrel and war. from
which the British must emerge either
beaten to death or crippled for lfe-to
the freeing OF Russia from the greatest
impediment and obstacle to her designs

The sending OF a Russian fleet to New
York during the Confederate war was a
friendly act toward the United States,
but 1t was done merely as menace to
Great Britain, in her active hostility to-
ward tho United States, her active
friendship for the Confederate States.
Russia was always for an American gov
eminent hostile to Great Britain and
dreaded the acquisition by Great Britain t
Of SO powerful an ally as the Confederate
States must have proved to be.

really the only reasonable true interna-

together the pure-blooded survivors OF

The article called america and

North American Review for June, is

out French aid. we might never have
won our political independence from
England; Of course. 1t is very desirable
that we should preserve the entente cor

America: but it is absurd to say that
there Is any Overwhelming gratitude due
from us to the French. or that there is
an irresistible affinity between the two
races.
The friendship that has been. and is,
exhib,ted toward the people OF the
United States by forsign Powers other

British Empire has no other raison

had in sending aid to the revolutionary
United States was the fact that they

The CROPS or KANSAS.

In spite Of the failure OF the corn crop
in Kansas last year. that State is stu
prosperous. Kansas is q remarkable
State. Its lands are very fertile ana
when one crop falls another Is apt 70
succeed The history OF the State shows,
says the Kansas City Star. that large
and harmonious yield of all crops is
much more likely than serious railing
of in any of them. Last year there
was failure OF the corn crop. but, as
a compensation, the yield OF wheat was
enormous, This year, according to the
Star, the wheat crop will be sone"has
smaller, but there Is promise OF the
largest corn crop in many years. me
Secretary OF Agriculture says that NOT
only are the conditions eSceptlonal1y
fine owing to the penetrating rains OF
the past month, but the acreage IS un-
usually large. More than one-haif the
wheat ground that has been abandoned
has been put in corn, in addition 10 tne
normal corn area.
IT. "a hardly to be expected that the
present prices of corn will be kept up
hut If Kansas can make an average crop
and sell 1t at anything ike t"o-tnifas'
OF the current price her farmers "iA
make enormous profits.
Our export trade continues to increase
.nd co orr factories are as busy as they
can be. If we have good crops this
wear there is every promise that our
prosperity will continue for long ume
to come. Reports from Kansas ana
fron, other States Of the West are most
encouraging, and unless there shall De
some setback hereafter we shall have
rich harvest.
