nay GOODS.

New York. March A.-Continued unfav-
orable conditions such as war talk, the
unpleasant weather, the positions of print
cloths. etc, continue TO exert a quoting
effect on the local market for dry goods.
In neither cotton nor wooden goods at first
hands is the demand heavy just al pres
ent. and local jobbers report considerable
falling off In the total sales for the week.
Reports from out-of-town jobbers are to
the effect that business for spring is well
sustained, but they are not heavy buy
ers. and refuse to operate except to fill &C
tual needs. Print colths show no strength
or activity. Extras are bid for In small
quantities at &c, price which manplac-
turers refuse to notice. The nominal quo
tation is still 21s less per cent.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Review.


New York, March 24-Hubbard Bros. &,
Co., In their weekly review, Nsay of cotton:
AS a result of the uncertainty in diplo-
matte circles over the solution of the Gu
ban question, transactions in our market
have been reduced 10 the actual daily de-
mand for consumption With a supply
largely in excess of the actual require
ments of spinners, and with more than
their consumption already in sight Il re-
quires more than this demand 10 sustain
values. Therefore, we have a dull, drag
ging condition marked only by the slow
liquidation of the holdings of investors,
who, during the winter months absorbed
the surplus then pressing upon the mar
kets, on the belief that the South would
reduce the acreage for the coming season
with a view to obtaining a higher price
for their staple Judging from the tenor
of the reports which have been received
during the past sixty days, we must aban-
don the idea of decided reduction in the
acreage for the coming year. We feared
that the advance during February would
be Injurious to the planter and the trade
by inducing the cultivation of largo
area in cotton, and we feel now that tho
advance did put a stop TO all disposition
to reduce The acreage. 1t also created an
active demand for fertilizers, showing the
sudden effect of the advance upon tho
resolutions of the planters.
"Under such a change of conditions 1t
is not surprising that the outside invest
ors have been quiet sellers Of a portion
of their holdings, a tendency which has
been increased by the war-lilSe prepara-
tons of the government while awaiting
a solution of the cuban question. Each
day brings this troublesome question more
closely to the front as a disturbing clio
ment Were the disaster TO the Maine
the only question involved, II might be ad-
justed without trouble, but that appalling
catastrophe only served TO attract the at
tention of the entire country to the difficult
problem before us, and to show everyone
that we could not longer refuse to deal
with problem which had not only inter-
fered with our trade relations, but which
permitted the destruction of human life
In a manner not in accordance with the
rules Of modern warfare.

say of cotton. Cotton was dull and a
shade higher to-day. The business was
largely professional and even local oper-
ators are disposed to go slow until some
thing definite develops in the political
situation The liquidation seems to have
spent itself for the present and was not
feature to-day. Liverpool again disap-
pointed the bears by declining but slightly
and the opening here was one to two
points higher in consequence. After the
opening lack of buying power more thar
anything else, resulted in a decline of d
few points, but the relative lowness OF
the market here checked any disposition
of the bears TO raid it and the loss was
recovered in the afternoon.
August opened at $5.94c, declined &c

Unless supported by Liverpool we fear

Col. william j. Bryan,

1t appears that Mr.. Bryan may
get his regiment after all. We hope
he will. He has come forward at his
country's call, anxious to serve it i'm
any way, and has devoted himself
TO the creation and organization of
Nebraska regiment. He has not
vaunted himself. He has display
ell no spirit Of vanity or ostentation.
While hordes of popinjays-favorite
proteges ofgreat meu, curling dar-
lings of society-clam0red for staff
positions or big commands, William
j. Bryan, with more ability than
any hundred of them put together,
has gone to work modestly and with
on: self,seeking. He recruited n
force and ii was taken m him
He persisted and got another force.
The newspapers have made fun of
him. his enemies have sought to COW
er him with ridicule and derision.
now there is another regiment and
both the soldiers and the Governor
want Bryan to command it. We
trust it may be so. Mr.. Bryan is
young. he is patriotic, has courage
nerve, brains, initiative, equili-
brium. There is nothing discredi-
table in his ambition to lead regi-
ment of his fellow citizens i'm this
emergency. We do not know where

that he worth more to the country
an deserves more at it's hands than
