Yield Cuba.
PARIS, Aug. 23.-La France says ::
" However painful it may be for Spain to
accept the suggested solution OF the Cuban
difficulty, there is no other plan possible.
1t is the only way for Spain to save some
fragments of the wreck. The value and du-
alton of Cnban independence under the
protection of America is another question.

the Americans, qualities them vcry boldly
to perform the part Of p~latonic protectorate.

Cotton Market Movement i'm
New York
New YORK, August 23.-The lively spec
ulation in cottor for the past week. which
adva-. ced middlings in this market from SO
to 35c, create considerable discussion.
The advance is based upon the fact that
the supply here is reduced to 1000 bales,
against $4,000 at this date last year, and
10000, to September Is, the Spinners took
an average of 600 bales per week. The
mills thel efo,e curtail their consumption or
import cotton from Europe, as the new
crop will not arrive to any extent before
four to six weeks. 1t is thought however
that high prices will hurry it forward. In
regard 10 the extent of the new crop, esti-
mates varx. from 100000 to 5000, 900
bales, witt q more general opinion towards
the latter estimate.
The la4t bank statement was unfavor-
able and tie figures are regarded as of
more than usual importance, as showing
the movements Of money to the West, and

decrease in loans, but not large as it should
