STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York April 25.-rhc market for
securities was sluggish and almost stag
nant to-day. Prices ruled below Satur-
days close all day and while there was Il
brief pause at one time during the morn
ing in the downward course. due to
strength shown by one or two of the
industrial speciatics, the sagging ten
dency of the market was practically unin-
terrupted. The trading was narrow and
professional and declines really repre-
scented nothing more than a natural re-
action from Saturdays advance The
supply of stocks continued very limited
owners apparently being content TO hold
their property for higher prices.
The waiting attitude Of traders is
likely TO continue until the occurrence
Of some event giving clear indication of
the course of probable duration Of the
war with Spain. The future of the
stoke market is also dependent largely
on the course Of the market. There was
nothing in to-day's developments to indi-
ctt1 accurately what that course will be.

New York, April 25-There is some
interest displayed in the market for
denims, ticks and similar lines of staple
cottons on account of the government
bids for army supplies. The market is
Inadequate to meet these demands but
manufacturers believe that the looms in
many quarters may be diverted to the

ed by the army 10 good effect, in that the
ovcr-production in other lines may be

generally poor results. At first hands
the tendency is towards Il stronger mark

heavier request on this account Regu
lars are selling slowly at cents, though
manufacturers are slow to meet these

COTTON.

New York, April 25.-Our market was
adversely influenced this morning by
bearish cables from the English market
and a lack of outside speculation sup
port. Futures at Liverpool eased off 21a
to 80 points, and spot cotton 1-32d. with
sales of the latter only 10000 bales.
This started liquidation in the local
market and prices soon dropped ) to Z
points, with stop orders caught all the
way down. Later, however, Il better
feeling prevailed on covering and some
investment buying. after which specula-
ton fell off materially with the market
during the greater part of the afternoon
in Il nerveless condition. Private dis
patches pointed to a generally bullish
feeling among the English cotton trade.
The local market closed steady ut net
unchanged prices. Total sales 120, 700
bales.
