Hunter & Co.'s Daily Cotton Letter.
Ii, erpool came surprisingly strong after our
weak close of yesterday and closed firm at an
advance of 2-6id. Cables said at hrst that
the advance was duo to good business n.
Manchester and traders were fooled into buy
ing on our opening at points higher than
last night. Prices soon sold up points add-
tioual. but quotations rapidly eased off after
IL became known that the higher Liverpool
was due solely to buying by those who prefer-
red to have their contracts In market which
woUl6 not be participant in actual war and
that buyers In Liverpool were sellers this
side.
Stocks were weak and showed sharp de-
clines and our markets sold off points from
enc time New York was points below yes
to-day. August selling at &c. against $40 the
h'rh point of the day. The into t-lls0oo
fell about 5000 behind 1895. but caused 4;
rally of only point. the disturbed and un-
settled political situation ovcrruling all other
news, and this news was rather unfayorable
as whole. This was war day. Late adviceS
saw that Spain asks for delay until the cortes
meets May 4. ana really Spanish diplomacy
and American capital and administrative
power cok like they will win. However, tue
resident promises TO send a message to con-
eress In few days, possibly Monday, aud
think that war will be declared as soon as
Monday. and. while admitting it possible we
hardly think war probable There Is no doubt
that actual war would put stocks down. but
Liverpool would be apt to advance and the
action of our cotton markets would be uncer-
tain Aside from political conditions, cotton
for the present Is a sale Cal all rallies.

Cent-spnnisi, Fonrs Decline.

New York, April 1.-The process which
went on in the stock market today was a
rrnmbling and dislntegration of prices There
was large and influential party who be-
licved there would be "a peaceful settlement
between the United States and Spain, which
increased confidence somewhat. The buying
by this element during the morning hours
was very largo. but prices Kept slipping
downward. The weight oil tho days news
proved too heavy and the attempt was abail-
doned In tho afternoon, when a general and
heavy liquidation was Iii full force Some
feeble rallies at the close indicated that parts
OF tho days declines were due to short sell

the ground for the carly confidence of some
operators that Wal wo1ld he avefted was
shrcuded in some mystery. II seems 20 have
been founded on TIE inference that interest
IN tho Spanish Is, which was paid today, In
spite Of recent doubts, was that money would
be Forthcoming, was advanced ~ the Roths-
,hilds and that the advance was based OH
knowledge that the Spnrish government
would make a pcaccablc settlement OF the
demands of the United States.
Bu, as the day advanced the fact took
more and more definite shape on the news
from Washington that the Spanish govern

seemed necessarily to BIZ that the whole ques-
