WEEKLY REPORT.OFFICE MORNING NEWS. )

SiYASXAH. May 16. 1890. tGeneral Remarks—'The general market dur-

jjjy tie last wees was very quiet, and. in fact,era ling has about settled down to its usualsummer basis. There were very few featuresof moment except, apparently, that a general

paction baa set in in most of toe markets andr ices, sritb some few exceptions, show a lowerteaieucy. The continued stringency of themoney market is a source of considerable com-plaint, and Is beginning to hamper trading tosome extent. The demand in the jobbing tradeshas fallen off steadily, and there are fewerSigns Of activity in any of thedepartments. The demand for groceries keepsuo steadily, and there was a good businessdoing; in provisions it was very dull, as also indrv goods. In hardware there was a fair tradegoing on. The lumber trade is also makinggood progress, and there is a good movementiu building materials. In all other branchesthere is about the usual amount of trade forthe seasoD. Collections are again slacking up../he security market is again stagnant, owingto tight money. The following resume of theweek's business will show the tone and thelatest dosing quotations of the different mar-kets to day:

Naval Stores. —The market for spirits tur-pentine was quiet and firm at the opening ofthe week, and regulars sold up to , butgradua lv became weakerunder heavy receiptsand steadily fell off until, at the close today,it was reported firm at 34J4c. There wasa fairly steady inquiry, though ratherindifferent, but on the daily declinein prices buyers accepted offerings prettyfreely and fully 4.00D casks changed hands dur-ing the week. Rosin—The market was some-what steadier at a slight decline of 5c forstrained to good strained and the extreme palegrades. There was a fair demand, which wasmet quite free!.', and there was a good businessdoing. The total sales for the week will ap-proximate 14,'.00 barrels. In another col-umn will be found a weekly comparative tableof receipts and exports from April 1 to date,and for a like period last year, showing the stockon hand and on shipboard not cleared, togetherwith the official closing quotations.

t'ottos.—IThe market during last week wasrather dull, and the offering stock too limitedfor anv heavy trading. The demand was quiteslow, although all offeringswere steadily taken.Most holders, however, were not dis-posed to force business, and iu con-sequence the current quotations were wellmaintained. The receipts at the ports as well asthe supply at ini erior towus are unprecedentedlylight, which serves to hold up vain -s in controll-ing markets quite steadily. The total sales forthe week were 665 bales, at the followingspotquotatiors of the cotton exchange:

Good middling llAtiMiddling 119sLow middling 11%Good ordinary 1014Sea Island.— The receipts for the week up to

4 o’clock p. m., as report dby factors, were 21bags, and the sales for the same time were 90hags. Ti e exports were 232 bags, all to Liver-pool. The market was comparatively dulland prices were unchanged, with the exceptionof extra line to choice, which sold at 21c. Themarket Is pretty well cleaned up of stock infirst hands, and the business well over for thebalance of the season. The above sales wereon the basis of quotations;

Good stapled seedy cotton 21 H@22!4Good medium HI HiMedium fine 22Fine J..23Extra fine to choice 24The receipts of cotton at this pert from all

sources the pas.t week were 1.261 bales of up-land and 21 hales sea island, against 378hales of upland and 2 bales sea island lastvear.

The particulars of the receipts have been asfollows: Per Central railroad. 1,127 bales up-land; per Savannah, Florida and Western rail-way, ’Bl bales upland and 21 bales seaisland; per Savannah river steamers 4 balesupland; per Charleston and Savannah railway.

1 bales upland, per Darienand Altamaha steam-ers 1 bale upland.

The exports for the week were 1.893 bales orupland and 232 bales of sea island, moving asfollows: To New York. 1,064 biles upland and332 bales sea island; to Boston, 816 bales upland;to Pnila lelpbla, 13 bales upland. The stockon band to-day was 10,483bales upland and 215bales sea island, against 5,403 bales upland and1,028bales sea island last year.

Rice. —The marketwas quiet and very steadyduring the week. There was a good Inquirythroughout, and pretty much all the stock ofclean in the mii s was absorbed, both forCharleston and local account. The small stocknow remaining is barely sufficientfor the home trade, and as the stock is stronglyhel lit is believed that there will be no diffi-culty in maintaini g present values. Thetotal sales for the week were fully 1,700barrels,at about the following quotations. Small joblots are held at )fc®)4c. higher.

Ihe stock market presented about the sameamount of business to-day as yesterday, butthe reactionary temper was replaced by a moreconfl lent feeling, notwithstanding the tact lintnrofos ionals and traiers were still working fora further reaction. There was great irregularityin the market, however, and a portion of tnelist was strong, while another portion was de-cidedly weak. and the course of prices was sub-je:ted to sudden ad sharp changes through-out. The general verdicL upon the ope atm.isof the past few days is that the market hasshown remarkable staying powers, nnd that itis booked for further material advance in nearfutures. To-day there were also continuedrealizations, which, with the aid of tue hammer-ing of bears and lack of support in a few of themost prominent stocks, were sufficient to keepthe market in an unsettled arid variable condi-tion throughout the day-. Toe high rat :s ex-acted for monty also caused many s-iling or-ders iutiie afternoon, although tbev did not goas nigh as yesterday, and loans made to-dayrun till Monday. Toere is reason to bslieve.110sever, that the high rates of the last fewdays have begun toattract finds to thticenter,aud as Friday is usually the day of the highestrates tor money, they will in all probtbility belower next wee c. The great b l ying power to-day was foreigners, who s nt liberal orders inall ot their favorites, with the exception ofLouisville and Nashville, and though the pres-sure to sell at tli" opening was severe, higherprices resulted from an excellent demand.Union Pacific was the feature ofother dealings,aud it advanced nearly 1% percent., the tinprovement being accompankd by rumors ofnew developments which will affect both UnionPacific and Central Pacific, and the generalopinion was that the new issue of bonds 10 takethe place of tiie government loan at a lowerrate ofinterest would be the schema. OregonTranscontinental continued Its upward move-ment. and buying in New England was attri-buted to rumors of changes iu management andnew alliances. Atchison was spec.ally weak iuearly dealings, and Chicago Gas continued tod-cline. being apparently without support.Coal stoc s were quiet, with the exception ofReading, and ail were firm, though Delawareand Hudson lost some of its recent advance,and is the only stock which shows any materialloss to-night. The buying demand fell awayafter the opening, and ira Ipts again got pricesdown in same cases below those of the opening,but a firmer t >ne afterwa ds prevailed, and toobest prices were r ached toward noon. Moneyrates then encouraged bears, and again pricesreceded, but moneywas offered at 5 per cent,in the last hour, and some improvement wasmade, t..e market finally closing active andfirm, generally at smart fractional gains overlast nignt s figures.

A goo l deal of noise, with somebuying, occurreJ, in wtiieh July was curried to12)se iu t e face of the tteller that it wouldnever be allowed to rise above 12c. Next cropwas neglected because weat or reports fromtiie south were quite favorable to the youngplant.
