New York; March A.-The Evening Posts London financH cablegram says:
 The stock markets here were lifeless and featureless today. Americans were stag nant and dull pending the report on the Maine disaster and the disclosure of Presi- dent McKinley's plans regarding Cuba. Arbitrage houses took stock when it was offered with fair margins, but otherwise there was no support from Americans.
 Spanish fours were weak. Brazils were fat.
 ieved to be partly due to sympathy with the fall of money rates here, and partly to the fact that the Bank of France Is parting more freely with gold.

Birmingham, March 21.-Liverpool cables were on a parity with our closing of Sat urday. All continental markets closed featureless, with little doing. The pit was confused over the probable course of May options after Saturdays sudden collapse, but shortly after the opening 1t soon de- Veloped that the Letter clique were persu- ing the same tactics as those of Saturday. Parker bought half million July early for the clique and Allen Grier supported May, which steadily advanced about cents above Saturdays closing. Weather fore cast indicate cold wave tomorrow. The visible supply has been reduced to 31 417,0O0 bushels. The strength continued until the closing hour, when there seemed to be an abundance of July offerings and prices dropped off half cent. closing firm with probabilities of further strength tomor- row.

Tn w all Street.

New York March 2.-The only feature discernable in today's stock market was it's dulness. This dullness was the exact reflection, however, of the doubt and hesi- tation which prevails In all financial cir cles over the next probable development in the Cuban question. Apparently there was a limit in the volume of sales for short ac- count at the opening, which resulted in sharp declines to practically the lowest point of the day. There were lower prices made in some few stocks later in the aim less drifting of the market. Business was, however, almost stagnant after the opening until near the close, when there was a sharp rally in prices, apparently due to the re-buyjing of stocks sold at the opening. There was no spirit of animation in the rally and prices drffted downward again at the close. There was only small vol- ume of stocks offering all day, but the de- mand was almost nothing, and the result was that prices are lower all around, losses reaching a point in some of the leading speculations. There is every indication of a large outgoing short interest in the mar ket but in the presence of the possible crisis in the political outlook this element Is very persistent in declining to cover. It is the prevailing belief that early develop ments at Washington will include the re- port of the Maine disaster board of in ouiry and the presidents message on that and Cuba. This keeps purchasers out of the market and on the other hand the large short interest warns the bears to proceed with caution. The consequence Is semi-stagnation, such as was witnessed to- day. Such selling as there was was at- tributed to Washington account, and there was some selling also by individual oper- ators London was a seller, but not to a large extent. The list of stocks and bonds that moved at all was @ comparatively short one, thef market being narrow. For eign exchange fstiffened slightly today, and no engagement was announced of gold for import.
 Discouts in London and Berlin were re- ported slightly easer. The outlook here ta- yors easy money on account of the gold inportations already arrived on the way. Banks are not yet disposed to make time loans and great caution in the buying of commercial paper is also manifest.
 The bond market was on a corresponding scale of dullness, with stoks and prices lower, Total sales $950,000.

From Haven & stout,s Financial Review

From Haven & Stout's Financial Review
 New York, March H-The market Is stili very contracted, and cotton is influenced so far as speculation is concerned, to relatively greater extent than any mar ket outside of Wall street, by the spanish situation and the uncertainty in that con- nection. The disturbance in the stock market has checked operations in cotton by the Wall street contingent, and in other directions the market has lost decidedly in point of breadth. Restricted particlpa- ton naturally influences the professional element and the room traders of the cot ton exchange, while conducting their opera tions limited scale, have renewed bear ish sentiments. The old allegations in re- gard to an eleven million bale crop are again given prominence. and while there has been a lack of rainfall at the south, general conditions have been favorable for preparations in regard to the new crop This attracts attention. at least as an argu- ment, to the possibility of another big yield this year. Some notice is taken of the weakness of print cloths and the com plaints of New England spinners that re- duced wages do not materially help their situation. Liverpool has reflected the mar row and uncertain speculative conditions here and the complication between Russia and England in the far east have not been calculated to give British spinners the confidence which would make them, for the time being, a bulllsh factor in the mar ket There has also been a decrease in the requirements for the continent, and it is noticed that at the moment the South ern spot markets are relatively higher than New York.
 On the other hand, active bearishness seems to have been largelyl confined to professional speculative interests North ern commercial interests in cotton still ex- hibt more or less bullishness on the large exports, the belief that manufacturing trade in Europe will be good in spite of all the alleged war clouds and the mani fest uncertainty about the next crop, which is not yet even planted. Port receipts have been somewhat lighter, but otherwise there is little at the moment in the statistical position to alter the situation or to infiu- ence the speculation. The principal fact remains that the Cuban complications have unsettled the market, and while they are likely to exert further influence, a change for the better in the foreign political out look would undoubtedly result in return of speculative and investment buying, and a rally in cotton prices
