The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Oct. %.
The markets were featureless to-day,
with no development to attract more
than ordinary attention from the trade.
Cotton fuctuated within narrow limits,
stocks were 1istless and in apparent
small demand, and there was no activ-
ity in the Chicago grain pits. Traders
were Indifferent the most of the day.
Locally cotton was quiet and easy
and unchanged, with the demand linn
tied. Country cotton was in fair de-
mand, with exporters paying the asked
prices during the early hours, but
later becoming less inclined to do so.
Meantime, the country appears indif-
ferent about selling on the theory that
cotton will advance later on, and that
there is no call for an immediate rush.
Much interest was felt In the tur-
pentine market, as to whether it had
touched bottom in it's decline. 1t had
not done so up to to-day, when the
price declined to 5o1zc. with the tone
firm and inquiry moderate for sup
plies. Resins closed firm, with the
demand fair.
Speaking of the outside situation an
old Savannah broker said he will not

New York, Oct. 25.-The receipts at
the ports to-day promised to reach
last years figures of $1,000 and this at
tracted attention. 1t was only natu-
raj, however, that we should witness
one days increase, and without such
a change in the movement estimates
must be reduced to lower point than
even bulls have regarded as reason
able. 1t remains to be seen whether
the week will witness total behind
last year, as was the case last week,
or whether we shall catch up. The
Journal of Commerce to-day published
bullish reports from Alabama and
Georgia, both as respects picking,
chances for top and final outturn. Ca
bles were unchanged The weather
map showed once more high tempera-
lures and absence of moisture of con-
sequence. So long as these conditions
continue 1t seems hardly possible to
expect a better market and nothing,
but the possibility OF continued small
movement helps to offset the remark
ably fine October weather up to this
time, despite Mr.. Buston's bearish esti-
mates. Firms of importance to the
trade adhere to very small crop esti-
mates. Shorts covered October, and
Houston estimates for Monday. being
only half of last year, went to offset
the more liberal current movement
The days business was very small and
the net result of trading unimportant.

with no development of interest in the
local situation Sales from factors ta-

COAL ORDERS HEAVY.

London, Oct. 3.-Inquiries made
at Liverpool show that large orders
for Lancashire and North Wales coal
continue to be received from Ameri-

fculty in getting freights, the rates
for which have been increased 81
during the present week. The presi-
dent of of the Miners National I'm
ion, Mr.. Burt, NJ. P, in his month
Iy circular to the Northumberland
miners, refers to the coal strike in
United States. He says: "Apparent-
ly the strike of $50 900 Pennsylvania
miners is coming to an unsatisfac-
tory end, because the men are re-
turning to work in small patches,
probably starved into accepting their
employers terms. They are the
poorest and lowest paid laborers in
the United States"

business in the American department
