 Maine findings were relegated to the com mittee and the lower house adjourned until tomorrow The day in the senate was de- voted to ''hot" speeches, but the feeling prevails that now, as the Sagasta minis try has been reelected they will permit humanitarian interference and possibly give up Cuba. The administration Cuban mes sage will be given congress Wednesday, and its effects upon the market, whilst un- known, in our opinion, will cause another decline. Our advice Is to let this market alone until excitement abates. Todays ao- vances ranged from 8 to 12 points over Saturday-o--Ss!.h reactions of to points from the extreme point. but final prices were cratic and feverish.

New York Cotton Market.

New York, March 2S.-Developments In today's cotton market were of a sensational nature and trading very active for these manifested little desire to operate, prefer ring to wait the transmission of the pres idents message to congress. On the first call the market ruled active, with prices 1 to points lower, under a few scattered selling orders and the failure of the Liver pool market to respond as expected to our steadiness of Saturday. Prices improved point by point, however, during the fore noon on rumors that the political situa- tion was believed to be less threa tening. At noon net gain of 293 points was ap- parent. Shortly after this hour the pit was filled with excited traders, as result of the report from Washington that Spain had practically agreed to accept the propo- sition of the administration that there should be an armistlce between the Cubans and Spaniards until October; that in the meantime the United States could feed the recontrendados and the Maine report should be held in the committee indefinitely. This sudden change of front In the Spanish American trouble gave shorts bad scare, and in the scramble to cover which fol- lowed, prices advanced to a net gain of 12415 points from the lowest before breathing spell was taken. During the bal ance of the afternoon the market was very nervous, with trading spasmodic. At the close the market was steady with net gain of 6@10 points. with future sales reach ing 157 300 bales.

Spaniards. be ready at any moment
, to repel the insurgents.
The General gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
in joint demand for the surrender of
the city to the United States forces,
thus forestalling the insurgents, and
this move may cause a rupture. 1t is
possible, in view of the fact that Gen
eral Merritts cablegram was sent from
Cavite last Tuesday, that this move
ment has been made already by the
combined American military and naval
forces, although there is some doubt
on this point on account of a state
ment from Merritt that he may need
, all of the soldiers before attacking.
Still, it is possible that the demand
might be made without being immedi-
ately followed by an attack which
might be deferred until all the troops
have reached Cavite.
Up to the date of the report. General
Merritt had with him about 1900 sol
diers So far seven expeditions have
left San Francisco carrying soldiers to
the Philippines, and it is the intention
to furnish Merritt at least 5000 men
more than his present force. If he de-
lays his attack until all these have
reached him, Manila will not be taken
in that way before September for the
last Of the troops have not yet started
from San Francisco. 1t may be. how
ever, that the arrangement as to the
Philippines. which, it is expected will
be included in the peace treaty, Will

clusively in manufactured articles and
food products Manufactured articles
ready for consumption fell from S134,-

over 33 per cent. of the total importa-
tions, while in 1897 they We're but %
per cent, and in 1896 - per cent of
the total imports, showing large rela-
tive increase in the proportion which
these articles used in the domestic in
dustries bore to the total importations.
Manufactured articles for use in the
mechanic arts formed in 1898 about the
same percentage of the imports that
they did in 1896 and 1897.
