Birmingham Ala, April 1.-The cotton market this morning dveloped decidedly firmer undertow, influenced principally by favorable Liverpool advices, futures there closing at an improvement of about 2-4 Spot sales, 10000 bales; mldling uplands, 7-16; first call in New York reported prices 2 to 3 points higher. Shorts were dis posed to cover fn connection wtth this good buying orders for foreingn account, which resulted fin a gain of 3 to points over the opening figures. The character of the news from Washington during the ear- ly part of the session was considered more favorable, but later advices were contra dictory causing an uneasy feling, which encouraged liquidation by recent buyers, also additional sales for Wall street &C., count, resulting in early Improvements be- ing lost, the noon call reporting prices steady anad about in line with yesterdays close.

Cotton Letter

New York, April 1.-Political rumors again exerted great influence upon cotton today. Liverpool cables were most en- couraging, that market advancing to one to one and half sixty-fourths in the early trading supplementing this later with further gain of one sixthy-fpurth Upon this stimulus our opening showed an i'm provement of four to five points over last nights closeand with fair bukying from Liverpool shorts the market advanced two or three points more. Disquieting rumors from Washington caused an uneasy feel ing and prices gradually broke to the low est point of the day. August opened at sos and advanced to 6.1O, declined to six cents, rallied to 6.O2 and closed at 6.01 to 6.02, with the tone of the marketquiet and steady. Our views are unchanged.

Financial
 New York, April 1.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram:
 The stock markets here were feverish to- day, pending development of the American Spanish controvrsy. Having interviewed leading American and other financial houses here, find that the concensus of opinion follows an amlcable settlement. The belief here Is that President McKin- ley so framed the despatch to Spain that. while thoroughly preservingAmerican dig nity, the Spanish pride was duly consid- cred.
 Weak bulls in American's, however, were unable to stand the tension on the nerves and flung away stocks indescriminately. The movement was assisted by sharp 1all in Spanish fours to 49, although they subsequently closed at 501s This drop must not be connected solely with the strained relations with the United States, but as a result of the forced sales from Paris al luded to in these dispatches yesterday.

 Paine Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter
 The market opened with slight advances, with shorts disuposed to cover on sniaAi foreign buying, light hoaV,l~ es'e, .,,a. h. ceiuts and the assertion by Liter that ne ma arketed two and half m4lifon casn xvheat. The markt throughout the uay showed firmneSs, with an adVance or 12 cent for both options. Trading was mar row and confined to bear covering ana clique support. The weather indications and tbe gro ,ng crop continues favorable, hut the crowd is nervous, and when the war outlook was eliminated the market would advance. .
 Opinions differ regarding the outcome or actuai fostilities, but the concensus of opinion favor interference with export tenn porarily, which is rather bearish influ- ence. A cold wave prediction probably helped to steady prices. Coarse grains wre barely steady.
