SAVANNAH MARKETS.
OFFICE MORNING NEWS, i
Savannah. Ga.. Deo. 28. 1892. f
Cotton— There was altogether a better feel
ing prevailing in the spot market. While there
was co t reat activity, still exporters were found
looking over the market as also inquiring for
freight room, and there was a very firm tone
although not quotably higher. There was a
very light business doing due to the fact that
the holders are no* offering freely. The sales
for the day were 149 bales. On Change at the
opening call, at 10 a. m.. the market was bul
letined steady and unchanged, with sales of 125
bales. At the second call, at 1 p. m.. it was
Arm. the sales being 24 bales. At the third
and last call, at 4p. m , it closed firm and un
changed, but with no further sales. The follow J

Merit asserts itself. We thank oar patrons for their liberal support, and promise, at all times, to retain their con

Entering upon the last great business week of ’92 with unflagged efforts, we take this opportunity to extend to
our friends and the public our sincere wishes for

Freshest and Newest Goods in the
Linens, Blankets, Hosiery, Dress Goods, Silks
and Shoe Departments.
We are going to have a thorough clean out of things before they are old. Business last week was enormous.
‘‘Gracious! What a crowd ! Just like Macy's !’’ That’s,what they all say when they get into our store.
But we are going to break the record this week. A STUNNER ! That is what it will be. Honester
bargains than those Fine Dress Silks at 75c. and 9bc., the NEW Ladies’ ITand-sewed Welt French Dongola Kid Laced
Blucher at $3 50, we have never offered, and some extra special values in our Boys’ Clothing Department simply
exemplify the spirit that predominates in every one of the above departments during this last great sale of 1892-

The Clews ball room U ons of tbs most
beautiful and artistically perfect rooms la
Amerioa. There Is nothing at all like it la
New York, and It will remain a lasting
monument to tbe skill and taste of tbe lata
John H. Sturgis of Boston, wbo was its
designer.
Th* room, which is oval In shape soil
connects with the conservatory, is 55 fast
in length, 33 feet in breadth, and 35 feat
high. Tbe style of decoration used to a
combination of tbe Renaissance and
colonial, and the colors adopted In thadeeo
rations aud furniture ara white, gold and
oream.
Tbe double dome with whioh the room to
surmounted is the moet strikingly beautiful
thing of its sort that has beau attempted la
New York. The frieze is a row of dancing
cuDids, with garland* of flowers, not af
actly a oopy of but similar to tbe oaa eeeo
in some of tbe state apartments at Ver
sailles. Tbe first dome, that adjoining th*
friezes, is ornamented with a decoration at
festoons, in a delicate cream color on a
white ground, and beneath tba points at
support for the festoons are medallions,
each one charged with tbe name of a great
musioian in letters of gold.
The second dome, which springs grae*-’
fully from the first, to also unique ana at
tractive in design, aud tbe skylight shoe*
it is covered with a screen of toon, ham
mered into an elaborate geometrical pat
tern and enameled in white. At night
this is illuminated from behind, aud tbe ef
fect produced by the particolored Incan
desosit rays, filtered through tba soraan, ta
particularly striking.
Tbe welosootmg is of white and extend*
but a abort distance up the walls and otbef
woodwork, Including tba arches of the four
colonial ale -yes which are Ist into the room
at it* corners and are also of white Over
the entrance to tbe adjoining conservatory,
which is sltogether in white marble, to th*
musicians’ gallery, and this, for deMoaoy of
conception and beautiful workmanship, is
worthy of the rest of the room. The ba*a
of tbe gallery Is excoDtlonally attractive in
design It* deooratlon is in arabesques and
diapers, and tbe series of curves by whtdh
It springs out from the wall to roast the gal
lery balustrade Is singularly graceful.
The floor is of inlaid wood, highly pol
ished, and it is an ideal surface for dancing.
Upon ordinary occasions the room will ha
used for music, and it to furnished with a
grand piano of white marble, inlaid with
ivory and gold, and a harp. When tba floor
is not needed for dancing its center to oov*
ered with a Gbiordea rug of great size and
richness of oolor.
Other change* in the Clews bouse ere
quite os noticeable as is this beautiful bell
room. The hall, which is baronial in its
proportions, wee formerly dark and of
baronial gloominess. Now it has beau
tn derm zed and is altogether in white,
with the exception of the carpets, which are
of scarlet. The stairway, which cost a
fabulous amount and is winding,ls elaborate
ly carved, and in the center of the stair •
wiy spiral stands a great palm tree, which
extends nearly to the second floor, sur
rounded by smaller palms and rare ferns.
The size of the hall bss been increased seem
ingly fourfold by huge mirrors set In the
nails and draped ingeniously to represent
doors.
Tbe private apartments on the upper
floors have also been embellished, and the
Homan bath,all of Mexican onyx, wbish bsa
been put in on the second floor, is probably
tbe richest and most costly in New Yosk.
