Saturday. Feb. 6.
The movement of cotton has reached
stage which makes the daily receipts
more of a market factor than at any
other time during the season, and will
continue to do so until there are more
nositive indications as to what the final
figures are likely to be. To the buyer
the most important information just
now is the supply that has not yet
come into sight, and the fact this can
not be obtained with sufficient accuracy
ia warrant acting upon the reports ac-
counts in measure for the continued
gvrations of the market. What sort of
hand" has the holder? This is what
spinners desire to know.
AIIeT d SilI TUE pOIl IeCclpLS
for several days in succession the first
increase came to-day, the ports get
ting 1881, against 1885 last year. This
cannot be taken as in any way affect
ing the opinion which gained ground
that the recent shortage was due to ex-
haustion. This is still believed by
many to be the case. The large sales
induced by the rise in prices the past
few days no doubt accounts largely for
the increased receipts, as holders let go
on the scale up, and this cotton is now
moving to the ports. With any easing
in prices it is very likely holders win
again withdraw, the receipts will lessen
and the market derive strength that
will cause another squirt such as the
present.
The Savannah market closed steady,
with the demand for spot cotton salts
factory. From the country the offer
ings were liberal, but owing to the de-
cline at New York and the larger
movement exporters were not willing to
pay the asked prices, Sc that business
stopped.
Turpentine closed firm at 42%c, with
the demand good. Resins closed firm
and unchanged. The following resume
of the markets will show their tone
and quotations at the closing to-day:

New York. Feb. s.-Our market
opened with sales of May at SAFE.
S.43c, S.44c, and after selling at S.44 to
S.S7c, ruled at s. SOC at IL a. m. On
the light receipts of the past week
the outside holders of cotton have un-
loaded their holdings on the cotton
trade who became alarmed at the sharp
railing off which they were told came
from exhaustion and not from the
weather. At the opening this morn
ing the trade took the outside Offer
ings until the receipts at the interior
towns continued to show an increase
over last week and last years, when
the market broke to the close which
was really weak, though termed steady.
Receipts promise to increase through
out the cotton belt, the weather being
better. After the close some little cot
ton was offered at below closing prices.
Should the movement continue large
the market will decline, as the short
interest has been absorbed, and the
long cotton is in weaker hands. The
spot market was steady, %c advance.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed steady, with sales
of 116 by factors. On the larger re-
ceipts at the ports feeling at New York
was not so assuring as on yesterday,
and toward midday selling started
which resulted in a break, the closing
being steady 4@11 points lower. This
had the effect of shaking spots, which
closed slightly easier than on yester-
day. The demand was good, however,
and satisfactory business was done.
In the f. 0. b. market the demand was
moderate, with offerings ample. The
current quotations were for f. G.. M.

The following card is reprinted
from the Macon Citizen. 1t is from the
lately selected pastor Of the First
Baptist Church:
Ministers are not always sorry Il
leave one charge and take up another
but in my case now, there is a convict
ion that we are leaving many people
outside our congregation who wish u:
well. Such friendships are pure
stimulating, helpful. A pastors life
must be more or less exclusive, but
there are times when he thanks God,
with tears, for the respect and esteem
that come to him from remote sources
a bright spot in his life. My socialr re
turn for this kind Of stimulus has
been too meager, / am sorry, but ]
have tried TO attend TO my business
and hope that this endeayor is partly
the occasion Of your well wishes.
Allow me to thank my own dear PEG
pie for their cooperation, for their
loyalty to truth and duty through the
painful, trying ordeal of rebuilding,
for their willing sacrifices. do not
hope to work among a cleaner people,
yet | would that they were more
homogeneous and aggressive. May the
Holy Spirit lead them and send them
a pastor Of His own choosing.
W. feel very grateful for the many
kindness shown us by the merchants
and tr~ades-people Of Macon, by the
weekly papers, and many Others, and
hereby acknowledge our appreciation.
May you prosper much in every way,
not forgetting your dependence and
privilege in the blessed Master who
gave himself for US all.
