COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
Liverpool Adyices Were Again Very
Disappointing,
MARKETS DIDN'T FOLLOW.



Liverpool cables were again disappoint-
ing, showing decline at todays close
of l4iis-d4d as compared with yesterday
Tho foreigners are evidently much dis
turbed over the probability of American
Cuban political complications, and seem
more Inclined to depress the market on
that account than the Americans them
selves. On this side there wac a success
ful attempt 10 bid up prices today, 1t be-
ing realized that Yesterdays sharp decline
was really more than the situation justl-
fled. In fact. II is the general Impression
that had not the market been already In
a rather domorlllzcd state, owing to the
lack OF speculative demand and continued
complaints of poor trade from spinners,
tho bears could not have so successfully
used tho war scare to depress values
1t takes very little to have an unfa-
vorablc effect upon cotton at this time,
however and while there was much
better feeling In the home markets today
ana slight advance recorded, the general
sentiment Is undoubtedly stll very bear
ish Many believe however unless for
eisn complications intervene that there
VIII be a sharp reaction from the present
low prices before the month Is out. This
belief is based upon "A possibility of much
