GERMAN NEUTRALITY.
Scientifically Announced That Tt
Will Take No Side.

w AAA 4NO 0AAC.
Berlin, April 9.-The semi-official North
German Gazette says:
A statement has been made in foreign
newspapers and here and there in Ger
man papers that, in the dispute between
Spain and America, the German govern
ment has departed from the line OF strict
neutrality. 1t is impossible to discover
wherein this view is based. From the be-
ginning of these complications to the
present hour the government has alb
stained from any attempt which could
SAVIOR In any way of taking sides and
has particularly avoided everything which
might have the effect of disturbing our
relations with the United States. to which
Germany is bound by 100 years of I'M
clouded friendship. We think we are
not mistaken in saying the government
has the whole public opinion of Germany
behind it in the policy of absolute neu-
trality which it has pursued.
New York, April e.-The New York
Stats Zeitung will tomorrow publish an
interview which its Berlin special CORE
spondent had today with a. high function
ary, after affirming anew that Germany
would remain strictly neutral, continued
as follows:
1--WE are suffering under the allegation
that we have decided to side with Spain.
Our own immediate interests and COM
me-ciai relations are rather apt to
trend cur sympathieS towards the United
States. We Joined the action of the
powers in Washington, without deviating
. an inch from the line of the strictest
neutrality; We were led by the considera-
ton that the action of the members was
not directed at interference, but was
solely and exclusively intended to be an
utterance of peace. II would have looked
very queer had we, and only we, ex-
cluded ourselves from that purely platonic
move. Spain, in that case would have
been justified in asserting that we sided
with the United States. We do not, by
any means, defend Spanish misrule in
Cuba. nor have We the least interest in
preventing the separation of the island
from Spain. But. il the separation is
performed too yehementy, then Spain
would have to suffer too severely and
the monarchy there would be endangered.
But nevertheless, we will interfere under
no circumstances whatever. if for no other
cause than for the sake of the existing
commercial relations. We sincerely wish
to keep up the friendship with the United
States which has stood the test of a
hundred years without ever being i'm
paired"

Grain Letter

Bv private wire to T. G. Hewlett, agent
 Chicago, H., Jan. 25.-May and July wheat lost their attractiveness at the opening Tuesday, and in their place the January delivery sprang up. The open ing price for the option was 9i3sc, or ssc under last nights close. Very little was accomplished until after 10 o'clock, when the efforts of a few shorts to cover re- vealed the fact that the market was abso- lutely bare of offerings. In the meantime the January future had advanced to 96c, but suddenly 1t began to climb in be- wildering manner. In the space of com paratively short time the dollar mark had been reached, traders raising their bids 15c at time on the way up. Shortly after ward the price dropped rapidly to SIC, as holders let go. What started January on the rampage was somewhat of a mystery at first In New York January wheat was at twelve cent premium over May, but aside from this news favored lower prices. Among the trading element, however the impression was that the bull clique bid up January in order to dispose of May, but the latter not responding as rapidly as they had anticipated, the boosting pro- cess was stopped, rather abruptly. Liver pool showed an opening gain or Ad, put soon lost it. The Cuban war scare was apparently over, and the heavy snow in the west was considered the best thing possible for the crop. May, and July
 opened lower, recovered with the up- ward rush in January, but later both op- tions were inclined to heavfness afn sym pathy with prevailing conditions. Corn and oats were dull but steady. Provisions were barely steady and without feature.

Stock Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 New York, Jan. >25.-Strength in London was an important factor in the early stock market. The Cuban situation was more pacific and news from the far east was greatly improved. The fact that Spain had full knowledge of the action of the United States in sending the Maine to Ha- vana and did not oppose it was regarded as a favorable influence, and commission house interests who executed selling or ders on the break yesterday were eager to buy back their stocks at the opening to- day This display of eagerness was too apparent, however, and in consequence comparatively few stocks came out Prices were easily bid up and numerous advances of %G1 per cent. at the opening were soon extended to 1 to PIE per cent, the latter being scored in Consolidated Gas, on gos- sip that all the New York gas companies would consolidate. London purchased Northern Pacific, Louisville and Nashville and St. Paul. and it is evident that that center pays no attention to Cuban rumors and probably thoroughly understands the diplomatic relations involved. Subsequent ly there was less energy to the upward

Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt
 New York, Jan. 25.-There was quite a buying movement instituted by the local contingent. The market, after opening steady with prices unchanged to one point higher, improved several points further. Trading was slack through the forenoon, but prices reached a net gain of to 4 points. Initial cables from Liverpool re- ported inactivity and ease in the foreign market but later there was turn for the better. News from southern spot markets was encouraging in the main, but was offset by the receipts of gloomy ac- counts from New England spinning cen ters, which are involved in the strike The movement at the ports was ineffective and about as anticipated.

Cotton Letter.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 New York, Jan. 25.-The cotton market advanced today. The rise was due to Liverpool and local short covering to a moderate extent at time when selling orders were scarce. Liverpool, after open- ing unchanged, advanced 1-64d. Our mar ket opened one point higher and immedi- ately began a slow improvement, which continued throughout the day. prom inent concern identified with the short side was liberal buyer. The sem-weekly movement at interior towns and port re- ceipts were both fairly liberal in spite of the fact that the weather in the south is retarding the movement of cotton. The southern market continues off, however, and sellers here are extremely cautious. May opened at 5.73, advanced to 5.78 and closed at 5.7S to 5.79, with the tone of the market steady. As long as the southern markets do not weaken there can be no important decline here and some advance might occur. We do not think, however, that much improvement is likely.

In Wall Street.

1SCW IOlh, JdIl. l0.-Ine Il1nlQlIy nfdnl- fested by dealers in stocks yesterday be- cause the warship Maine had been ordered to Havana was fully equalled by the con- fidence with which traders bought back their stocks today when the ship had ar rived in Havana. The most notable fea- ture of the days trading was in the large volume of transactions for London account The sharp drain here yesterday seemed to have awakened keen demand in Lon don for Americans and early quotations from there showed yesterday declines there fully recovered. The strength of Spanish As in London also indicated the absence of apprehension of an embodiment between the two countries. The foreign buying of securities was heavy enough to have marked effect upon the mortgage market.
 It was evident that some of the pro- fessiona1 traders who put out short con- tracts on yesterdays Cuban scare refrained from covering in the early transactions in the belief that the market would become easy after London had ceased opearting The expected, however, did not happen, and the belated shorts, becoming fright ened, rushed to cover in the final trans- actions and made the buoyant tone at the close, which found prices at the best of the day for standard stocks. Yesterdays losses on the average have been more than recovered. New York Central was most conspicuous in the dealings with it's net gain of over points, and the stocks of allied properties shared in its strength to a somewhat ess extent. Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and the other properties which go to make up the Klondike group, were all conspicuous for strength and the grangers and southwesterns may be added to the list

Dry Goods.

s New York Jan. 25.-There is no change worth recording in the dry goods market today. Cotton goods and wooaens were we'll sustained. The dullness of Tuesday was noticeable in today's receipts of mail orders, though the store trading was more like yesterdays record.
 The reports received by letter and from western dealers who are at present in the market are entirely satisfactory. TCle trade at second hands and with retailers is pronounced to be all that can be asked. There seems to be money enough in cir culation and no disposition to quarrel with prices. On this basis the market is con sidered a healthy one. The effects of this trading, it is thought. will be felt by local circles in the near future.
