American aifairs-mOre especially the Pres
dents Message-receive great attention al the hands
OF the English press. The fac thai MT Lincoln repu
dates the idea Of negotiation and uIges continued val
had the effect OF aniinaing the Liverpool cotton mar
ket and causing an advance In prices. il also I'm
paired more brOYancy TO the Manchester market while
on the London Stock Exchange the financial statement

era decline in American securities.

srovs airy expectations that NAV have been formed by

savs the mere rreat 81 cOnhscang estates gives the
South the strongest possible motive % resist 70 the last
extremity and thinks the confident tone Of the message
T. far from being Justified by the ioitune Of Size Union
arms while the official statement Of the mon Dauces
il even more Encouraging, or wOnd be II anything
could effect people deaf 20 the teaching OF facts
The Times winds up follows: Altogether the sitna
tion even as depicted In the message and the
papvipy reports financial and military renders IL the

the common disarmament Of the two powers on
these inland waters. Nor can II conceive what neces

colonies"
