New York, March 25.-Cotton futures
were adversely Influenced this morning
by more warlike conditions In this coun-
try, rumors that the European political
situation was again disarranged, and an
unsettled condition of affairs in the stock
market here. English cables were con-
sidered favorable and the market made a
steady start with the prices unchanged
to one point higher. This was Immediate
Iy followed by a sharp break under active
liquidation of local long stuff, led by Wall
street. The fact that the port and inter-
Tor movement continued relatively light
failed to check the decline, Later the
shorts began to cover and by midday the
loss had been reduced to 2d3 points with
the feeling al that time slightly steadier
Business fell off materially early In the
afternoon, scalpers having things pretty
much to themselves. The market closed
steady with January unchanged. other

New York, March 25.--Riordan e. Co. say
of cotton to-day: 1.-THE near approach Of
some definite stand on the Cuban question
caused renewed liquidation in cotton to-
day and prices eased. Again this morn
ing Liverpool sent encouraging caDles' thdt
market advancing one-half sixty-fourth.
The political news, however was dis
quieting and the opening here was about
the same as the close last night
AFTER the opening the liquidation and
some aggressive bear selling caused a
break, but Liverpool bought freely here
all day This buying absorbed the offer
ings and part of the loss was recovered In
the afternoon. The weeks movement OF
supplies was on a more moderate scale.
August opened at 5.9lc, declined TO $3.50;
advanced to sole, and closed at that figure
with the tone of the market steady. OPP
orators on both sides have eased up to a
great extent of late"
