New York, Dec. 1s-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: "A new factor made
Itself felt in the cotton market to-day. The
danger of war with Spain has heretofore
affected only the stock market, but the
favorable action of the Senate foreign ar
fairs committee upon the resolution rec
ognizing the independence of Cuba. led,
this afternoon, to free selling of cotton,
lI1v h; ,,I, ha1
provement in Liverpool caused firm mar
ket in the early trading. March opened
at lille and advanced to 71Sc. In the
forenoon there were intermediate fluctua-
tons between those prices, but when the
news from Washington was received, pro-
nounced weakness followed March de-
clined to 6.96c, and closed at 697d6.98c,
with the tone steady. Opinions are about
evenly divided as to how Liverpool to-
morrow, will regard the decline. Some
think that she will almost ignore it, as a
senseless scare, while others are appre-
hensve of a serious break in the English
market"
New York. Dec. .1S.-The Sun says of
cotton: prices advanced here at the OPEN.
ing to-day in response to a rise in Liver
pool both in futures and spots, with a good
demand there for spot cotton. But at the
advance New orleans sold freely here.
The Improvement was soon lost and prices
declined rapidly, dosing at about the low
est figures of the day Local operators
sold to realize on the late advance, and
the heavy receipts for the week, together
with the action of the Senate on the Cuban
situation, and a large estimate for New
Orleans tomorrow. led to general selling.
The receipts at the interior were smaller
than had been expected, while the increase
in stocks was only 1000 bales, where the in
crease had been estimated at 5000 bales;
but the heavy receipts at the ports and
the pressure to liquidate more than off
set these factors. w. ID. Rountree & Co,
one OF the firms which suspended few
days ago, made a settlement to-day at 70
cents on the dollar. Much sympathy was
expressed for the firms misfortune, and
everything possible will be done by the
members of the exchange in aiding them to
recover their lost standing"
