ter, the house resolution virtually making
Spain directly responsible.
Reports say Spain must leave Cuba, and
is strong in favoring immediate interview
ton. The house adopted their report,
whilst the senate went over under the rule
until tomorrow.
The days news and preparations are for
immediate action, and the flying squadron
has gone to the republic of Cuba.
Spain, at q special cabinet meeting, voted
large war funds, and is fortifying for a
resistance In the last half hour the mar
ket showed great weakness and broke rap
idly; closing prices were at the extreme
lowest, feverish and irregular. Whilst there
may still be peace, the outlook at present
looks like absolute engagement before the
week ends. Prices should be lower tomor-

Cotton Letter

BY Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
Birmingham, Ala, April 13.-Noon, Liv-
erpool closed barely steady, with prices
1-64th lower; spot sales, 10000 bales; mid
ding, 7-1e The New York York market
was more active today, but at the expenee
of features, opening prices being from TO
points under yesterdays close A good
volume of selling was in evidence, caused
principally by the Cuban situation apepar-
ing more serious. The weakness in the
stock market caused further liquidation by
the New York crowd, noon calls showing
prices to points under yesterday. Buy
ing today was presumed to be largely for
foreign account.

Birmingham, April 8.-The following are
tho Iataet tatianq ON iron:
NOT TO BE CONSIDERED

From the ommercial-Advertiser.
Is there Spanish statesman who sup
poses that any arrangement which does not
involve withdrawal of the Spanish troops
from Cuba can be satisfactory to the
United States? The United States insists
that an armistice without evacuation Is not
for a moment to be considered. 1t insists
upon Spain's getting out of Cuba at once
and forever. If Spain will yield this point
she is at liberty to dignity her concession
by any name in her vocabulary, to allay the
modification of her people by applying to
a hard fact the softest term she can find.
But nothing less than the fact can save her
from war.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1898-04-14


New York, April 13.-This was another
dull day in cotton~buyng, which the brok-
ers were devoting more attention to the
political news than to the market The
news was warlike and local selling was in
sympathy with weakness in stocks caused
a small decline. Liverpool this morning was
unchanged and the opening here was at
last nights prices. Immediately after the
opening local operators sold moderately
and prices declined. The report of the sem
ate committee on foreign affairs was war
like in tone, but as action upon the reso-
luton was deferred until tomorrow it had
great depressing. August opened at Cos,
advanced to 6.O9, declined to 500 and closed
at COL to 6.02, with the tone of the mar
ket quiet We expect lower prices.

The markets remained stagnant today.
being disorganized by the war rumors. The
settlement was a small affair and was soon
arranged, but contangoes were higher be-
cause of dearer money, those on Americans
being to 512 per cent. Americans opened
steady and continued SO until sharp fall
in Spanish As which was connected with
selling from Spain. Americans gave way
in sympathy and all the markets became
dull, closing only fraction above the low
est sConsols and other gilt edged stocks
continued to fall on dear money.
There is no likelihood of further rise in
the Bank of England rate tomorrow unless
should be declared or New York
should engage very heavy account of
gold. The demand for gold for export is
less keen at IT'S lid. The bank has raised
the buying price of German coin to 76s Cd.

fall in Spanish As. Berlin was quiet. Gold

New York, April 13.-The market for cot

day loss of five to six points was in evil
dence Speculation fell off to an exception

by the doings of congress. Closed quiet at

In the situation in dry goods. The market
