New York, April 19.-The cotton market
broke 12Ql5 points to-day as a natural re-
suit OF the European war scare, and in the
absence of advice from the European cot
ton markets, which remain closed on ac-
count of the Eastertide holidays Fears
OF very oearish advices from the Liverpool
market tomorrow led to an active Hqulda-
tlon early in the morning, after which
there was some rally on renewed reports
of an alarming character from the flooded
district. AT the lowest point the market
showed loss of 12Q15 points, and was
nnally quiet and steady at a net loss of
7Q14 points
