Hunters Daily cotton Letter.

b. w. Hunter G Co say of today's cotton
market:
AT our opening time Liverpool was 2-6i up.
but finally closed after active fluctuations,
| and heavy trading at yesterday prices. Our
markets opened up points, quickly
broke 6 to points. recovered most of the
loss and closed points down OH the day
Liverpool sent heavy buying orders to this
side but on the bulge was seller IN her own
market, evidently undoing straddcs. This
seems to be the general disposition of traders
to take OFF all hedges, and to get their out
standing lines as well in hand as possible
Cotton should have done much better, aud
doubtless would have held the full advance
had not the wild and excited stock market and
its heavy breaks made holders cautious. and
! disposed to reduce their lines, There is no
telling what new Developments viii come over
night, and in the present excited condition of
the public mind ii is almost impossible 10
| forecast what sentiment will he strongest
with traders who make the course OF tho
| market, but 1t seems to us that the even
ing up of accounts now under process IN cot d
ton viii soon result In putting the market in
healthy and normal state and in better
condition for profitable trading and intelligent
Judgment.

Cnrgil, * Richardson's Review.

Cargill C Richardson of Houston say:
1t is certainly wonderful what strength the
cotton market shows considering the de-
moralaed condition OF the New York stock
market. Liverpool closed unchanged to q
shade better on arrivals, spots 1-32 TO Lie
higher; sales 1000 bales. On this favora-
BILE foreign news our markets opened UP to
= points, but soon became weak heavy
liquidation, caused by fear of Cuban trouble.
Liverpool bought freely IN both New York
and New Orleans at time when support was
especially needed causing prices to halt and
then advance to last nights closing. The
afternoon session quietod down with little
fluctuation, and New York closes at loss
OF , points on the day. New Orleans IN
changed to | down. Spots unchanged
In Chicago wheat lost 23s cents for May
but Letter says July will soon follow in the
steps Of May and possibly so 1t few bet
ter Hog receipts $4,000, estimate for toinor-
row 27,000.
Stocks were demoralized from the very
jump, breaks of to per cent being shown
at one time hut this was followed by good
reactions upward, the whole list closing Mt
losses on the day, however.

Cotton markets are all nervous and shaky

There are two Numerically opposite views
taken OF the situation one contingent ap-
prehcnds war They think that IL the United
States does not assume the aggressive Spain
must do So Tho other side believes that
the war cloud will soon melt away. They
have read the reports OF the senatorial de-
bates and noted the lawmakers of that branch
making bombastic speeches la Corbctt and
Fitzsimmons. They also motto that when II
came to tho passage of the Allen resolution,
which, while 1t did not call for war. would
give Spain chance to open hostlities, voted
it down 81 to 5. This feature is to them ra-
assuring and they believe that calmer judg-
ment will prevail.
Nevertheless, both bulls and bears are I'M
easy and undecided. They sean the newspa-
pers closely and watch the chalk marks on
the blackboards--and hesitate. Were 1t not
