NAVAL STORES WEEKLY REVIEW.

Savannah. Oct 2s-(Special )-Despite the fact that the market at London con- tinued to advance, up to and including Tuesday. the local spirits of turpentine mar ket in the last trading day of the week was apparently in rather weakened con- dition because of the very heavy receipts which were much more than necessary to satisfy the full demand.
 The volume of arrivals lately have been swollen considerably because the divert ment of considerable supplies from points in Florida. The producers of that State apparently were attracted by the higher and to a certain extent s"fancy" prices quoted here and as the natural result con- siderable of the total which would other wise find its way into nearer ports was diverted to Savannah.
 In the past week the market for spot tur- pentine at London continued on the upward trend The last report received here was of quite a satisfactory nature but as all offerings were not taken here and traders bidding a quarter cent below full board values during Tuesday and that the total sales reported at the final call of Tuesday were but 75 barrels, the market was posted officially steady at 36%c. The opening of the week last Wednesday, (Oct. 2l) was firm at S5hc, that there was a total gain of 1A c for the seven days. Rosins were in very good demend and quotations on all grades were materially higher at the conclusion of business yester- day The following values were quoted Water white 6.S5 window glass S6 30; N $5. 85; M $5. 25; K $4.75: $S. 90 DS4. %; Fl ss.50Q55; c $2.75Qs5; F $2.75 4s2b; EDB $2.75.

Memphis, Tenn. Oct. 2S.-(Special) The last week has been one of small net changes in cotton. Various infIu- ences at times seemed disposed to pre- cipitate a rush toward better prices. The heavy movement checked this ten- dency There is everywhere feeling of confidence on the part of holders. They realize everything has conspired sight, It Is now known 1t is the splen- did weather and all necessary labor that has produced the large move ments The ginners report today of G. 2s7.oo0 is below our expectations and pressed that we have not large crop.
 We have arranged for advances on cotton almost everywhere This is be- ing taken advantage of to meet press ing obligations. and the cotton saved for better prices. s
 The election will soon be over and the increased business activity which usually follows Presidential elections taken with the more and more accept ed fact that there Is not an excessive crop are influences assuming shape.
 The country looks forward to the Memphis and New Orleans meetings of Southern cotton interests, anticipating plans to permanently improve and pro tect the cotton industry. The express sions of approval of the plans sug- gested last week show the people are keenly alive to efforts directed toward better things and can be depended on to fall in line and do their duty to promote the common good and main tain the integrity of the sentiments and traditions too valuable and sacred to be measured by dollars and cents. Everyone who loves justice and right says in his heart They must and shall be preserved and honored."

DEMAND IS LACKING
THAT IS FACTOR IN VERY DULL MAR
 KET.
No Receipts, No Sales, and Little Movement of Any Kind Were Only Features of the
 Ttnv.


 Not one iota did the local spot cotton market vary throughout Wednesday, with small receipts. no sales. and @ continuation of the lack of demand
 Demand, that feature in anticipation of which the cotton owners daily live, has not saown itself to be on the increase as yet though there came over the wires rumors of mill resumption and a bull market which. in itself. portends a change for the kion.
 One writer from New York announces that there is no material change more than fairiy good daily and weekly fluctuations la sight for some time yet.
 Opening at 8 13-16c. the same quotation as that of Tuesday. the Wednesday market in Montgomery remained fixed throughout the day. closing at the same figures A slight rise in futures was not sufficient to break the monotonous I3-1s figure for

Some little cotton was brought into the city wednes- day. in spite of the dampness but 1t found it's way Into the warehouses. with no sales to speak Of. There was some demand for January cotton in the big marts, though

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRoDUCE.


 Chicago. Oct. 2S.-Favorable weather for the fall sown crop of wheat in this country had a depressing effect on the local wheat market, prices at the close being Is to 1-4@3-Sc lower Corn and oats were steady and pro- visions easy.
 Trade in the wheat pit today lacked the activity which characterized yes CT part of the day sentiment was bear ish.
 At the opening prices were 3-Sc low CT than the previous close and after fluctuating over a range of barely half cent throughout the day they were, at the close, almost at the exact point where they were when trading began. The Argentine situa ton was a puzzle to local traders and news from that country was conflicting. One report claimed that the damage to the wheat crop by frost covered an area of five million acres, or about 25 per cent of the total wheat area of the country. The extent of the damage, however, was not stated. Other dispatches plac- ed the injury all the way from to 25 per cent of the total crop. More rain was reported in sections of the South west and although some reports were received stating that the new crop in many places still lacked sufficient moisture for proper growth, the ma Jority of traders here inclined to sell wheat as result of the more favor able weather. Demand for cash wheat
 
 Duluth reported considerable wheat worked for export. Minneapolis, Du- luth and Chicago reported receipts of 556 cars against 6S4 last week. The corn market closed firm after displaying moderate weakness nearly all day ow- ing to selling based on clear, cool weather in the corn belt. Final quota tions were unchanged to 1-Sc higher compared with yesterdays close. De- cember closed at 6S 3-4Q 7-8c and May at 63 Is.
 Buying by shorts and commission houses was responsible for the firm ness at the end of the session. Trade was quiet all day. Local receipts, 45 cars, five contract grade.
 Oats were easier the entire session and prices fluetuated over a narrow range Cash houses were moderate sellers. The weakness of wheat and corn was a bearish influence. Decem- Der closed at 4Sc and May at 49 7-Sc. Provisions were inclined to weak ness owing to- liberal receipts of live hogs at Western packing centers The volume of business was light. At the close prices were a shade to 12 1z2c lower.

New York Tribune.
 Unless the Metropolitan Museum of Art comes to the rescue. the "Yerkes Art Gallery which the will of the late Charles T. Yerkes provided should some day be enjoyed by the people of New York. will be sold under the ham mer next month and pass into unknown hands. Upon a mortgage for $225, ,000 Company, Judge Bischon. in the Su- preme Court has given judgment on the property known as the art gall lery which adjoins the Yerkes house. at Fifth Avenue and Sixty-eighth tn
 In the will 1t is provided that upon the death of Mrs. Yerkes corpora tion shall be formed, to include the Mayor of New York and four persons to be appointed by the trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to take charge of the gallery and pictures for the purpose of opening them to public view. The trustees of the mussum were, therefore, surprised on March 8 last, when application was made for foreclosure on the mortgage, which had been bought by the Mutual from the Title Guaranty Trust Company Mrs. Yerkes has remained in the back ground during all the foreclosure pro- eeedings.
