APATHY IN SPIRITS
YESTERDAY WITNESSED ANOTHER
LISTLESS MARKET.
R0SINS WERE ALSO QUIET.
MEDIUMS AND COMMONS IN DE-
MAND, BUT PALEs WEAK.

Conservative Factors Believe That
There VIII BE a Decline in the
Price of the Higher Grades-It Is
Also Expected That Turpentine
VIII Take a Further Tumble I'm
less a Reaction Immediately Sets
in-Receipts Continue Light.
Both spirits and resins were hstless
again yesterday. and the general in
activity of both markets was the
cause of an apathetic atmosphere at
the Board of Trade and in the factors
offices on the Bay.
For several days past the turpen-
tine market has been practically at a
standstill and prices have steadily de-
clined from IS cents to 81 cents. Many
there are who believe that the bot
tom rung of the ladder has not been
reached, and it is freely predicted that
some concessions will be made Mon
day. Only 10 casks were sold yester-
day. The receipts continue very light,
109 casks representing the income,
while the exports amounted to 405
casks.
The rosin market opened steady and
closed quiet. There was no change in
prices, and no sales were made dur
ing the day. At the markets close
quite number of samples were to be
found in the pans on the factors Ia
bles.
There is more or less of a strong
undertone to commons and mediums,
but pales are not held in such favor
at the present price, and it will not
be surprising if there is not de-
cline in the price of the higher grades
before the sun sets tomorrow night.
The receipts continue normal and
yesterday 2,749 barrels were brought
in, while 1921 barrels were exported.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-01-31

wild buying to cover their sales sent
prices skyward. Not only were scalp
ers selling yesterday. but it was also
evident that large interests were going
short of the market. Late yesterday
afternoon on the curb, traders saw their
mistake and they sent immense num-
bers of buying orders to Liverpool
which caused the big advance there in
stead of the expected decline.
With such heavy covering by shorts
this morning the leading bulls let the
market take its own course. For the
active positions prices at the opening
We're IS to 81 points higher. The initial
advance was followed by a reaction of
20 to rs points. but before the noon
closing prices advanced several points
above the opening figures. In the trad
ing May advanced 65 points to lie, fell
off 26 points to 16.74c, advanced to
1L09c and then declined to HOPE.
Other months showed similar fluctua-
tions. The market closed with March,

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 30.-Never before
has such an advance as that of this
morning been witnessed over night in
the cotton market, and perhaps never
before has the market shown such
wild excitement. Cablls from Liver
pool were spectacular. They reported
an advance of 20 to 1914 points, when
they were expected to be 512 points
lower. There were sensational advices
from Liverpool also mentioning a cor
ner in January February, with excited
buying on stop orders and rumors
circulating regarding the condition of
continental, Liverpool and American
houses.
Here first prices were at an advance
of AZ to 81 points on the old and IL to
IS points on the new crop months.
March, which closed last night at
15.s2c, opened at 1920, and sold up to
1920 on the call. May, closing yes
terday at 16.04c, advanced to 1876,
and July, closing at 16.18c, opened at
1880. There was heavy liquidation,
and Immediately following the call,
prices sagged off few points, but the
market remained very excited with
trading tremendously active.
The liquidation following the call,
carried the active months down from
% to 26 points with March selling at
1920, May at 16.50c and July at 1850
But at this point there was bull sup
port and the market was forced up
to a still higher level with March
reaching 16.45c. May, 1870 and July
1890, net advance on these months
of ~ to IS points.
The close was at near the top and
steady with the nearer positions, 81
to IS points up and the later months 2
to As points net higher. The sales of
the day were estimated at 100000
bales.
On account of the extreme f1uctua-
tons commission houses and brokers in
this market would not consider an or
der to-day without the deposit of a
margin of at least IS bale. Some
were asking $40. The usual margin,
in ordinary times. is 81.

New York. ian. 30.-The tremendous
advance in Liverpool this morning was
caused, according to our cables, by
general buying from all sources in an
ticipation of the ginners' report next
week, which it is supposed will show in
the neighborhood of 100000 bales GIN
ned up to the middle of January. our
cables further state that the best East
India firms are withdrawing all offers
of the better grades of India cotton,
which could be substituted for Ameri-
can cotton, bearing out our information
of several months ago. that there
would be much less India cotton avail
able for Europe than last year.
The outlook is for a long period of
excited and erratic markets. and fiuc-
tuations of a cent a pound will be as
frequent as those of 20 points in former
times, but for those who are in posi-
ton to back their judgment. we con-

everybody expected. This was a bitter
disappointment to a large number of
traders who went short yesterday af-

profits on the break to-day and their
