BIDDEFoRD, Me-, Feb. est is
claimed that the strikers in the
Laconia and York cotton mills will re.
main out until they are starved. This
seems to be the situation at the end OF
the sixth week of the strike, and there
is no prospect of settlement for weeks
to come. Both strikers and mill man.
ayers remain firm and indications of a
settlement by arbitration seem remote.
The strike has already caused loss in
wages of nearly 100000.

a DELEGATION of officers of the naval

VERY little additional light was shed
on the 25th upon the Maine disaster.
At Washington the cabinet held a
meeting and discussed the affair and
the talk of its being an accident was
less tenacious than heretofore. The
situation was reported grave and the
belief at the capital was that a Wig.
orous programme was in course OF
preparation. although the administra-
ton holds firm to its purpose to await
the report of the court of inquiry.
THE first full meeting of the ca binet
in some weeks was held at Washington
on the 25th, both Secretaries Alger and
Sherman, who had been sick, being
present. The cabinet talked about
the Maine disaster at some length as a
current topic of vital interest, but no
action was adopted.
Col. HENRY C. CoRBIN was appoin ted

submitted to Secretary Bliss. 1t says
that in the general condition of the

Birmingham, Ala, April 30.-Liverpool
showed some recovery this morning, liqui-
dations and the spot sales of 5000 were
fairly good for short session. Our market
is now rejecting close in Liverpool and the
opening here was from to points higher
than the close last night, holding firm
throughout the day until near the close,
when the liquidation of some weakened
longs caused a break to the low point of
the day. There is no change in the position
of the staple History will probably be
repeated in the coming months, as it has
been in past years and the extraordinary
crop Of last year together with political
and commercial conditions which put cot
ton to one of the lowest points in its his
tory, will likely be succeeded by condi-
lions that will place the staple in the mar
ket at legitimate value.

Special to The 'Age-llerald.
New York, April 30-After week of mod
crate fluctuations and no excitement, cot
ton prices are slightly lower. Less demand
for spot cotton in Liverpool and heavy Ii
quotation in May contracts caused a de-
cline early in the week, which, however,
has been partially recovered in the last
two days, the recovery being due to good
Manchester advices, renewal of the de-
mand in Liverpool and complaints that the
weather in the south has been too cold
to be favorable to the plant. Today Liver
pool advanced one and one-half 64ths. Our
market opened 2 to points higher. Until
just before the close it was very dull, then
heavy selling by local bull and one large
concern caused a sharp weakening. Au-
gust opened at 6.S3, dropped to 6.21 and
closed at 626 to 6.27, with the tone of the
market weak. The war with Spain has
progressed without sensational develop
ments so far, and its effects therefore on
the market has amounted to little The
resistance of the market is certainly graft
flying to it's friends, especially considering
the absence of New York's great volume of
speculative buying. The bulls claim, how
ever, that speculation will come speedily
enough if the new crop has not uni
formy favorable progress and that the
demand for cotton is and will continue too
good to admit of any important break in
prices in the near future. But the cold
facts confront them that the south has
planted an acreage not apprecably less than
that of last year. She is using as much
farfilizar and that the crop has had an
early and, until this week, very satlsfac-
tory start. We believe that with the re-
turn of normal temperature in the south
it will be hard to sustain prices.

Birmingham. April 3O.-Cables today were
unchanged, with the tone easy. Our mar
ket, however opened firm and fractionally
higher and under good buying prices were
rapidly advanced to 953s for the July OPP
decline of / cent a bushel. The sentiment,
however, is too strongly bullish to permit
any decided decline and recovery was
scored in the late dealings. The close was
near the top for the day. A strong feature
of the position is the firmness of all spot
markets throughout the world and this
feature will be the ruling factor in weeks
to come. We still advise purchases on
breaks Lard was very firm. Private adj
vices say it will rule much higher in the
near future.

was strong and buoyant, prices advancing
rapidly to point exceeding the high fig
ures Of Saturday a week ago, continuing
strong throughout the day. Under the lead

interests covered to a certain extent. There
is no liquidation of the long account and
we have frequently called attention to the

chases on any good declines. The close
showed but slight declines from high prices

black padding, black sileseas, drilling, un-
bleached muslin, twelve ounce cotton duck
and tent drill. and in woolens, blouse, Han

New York, April 30.-The Fnancier says:
The bank statement for the week ending
April 30 presents no feature of interest be-
yond the continued gain shown by the sur
plus reserve which now approXimates $44,-
500 ,0O0 On February % the reserve of the
clearing house association consisted of $780,
076,00O legals and $119 900 specie, a total
of 205, 2S2, 900. On April 80 the cash holdings
were made up of $l5S 1872 500 specie and $780,
1877 100 legals, or a total of 5000 500. The
banks total cash holdings are $4,000 900
heavier than at the close of February. but
in the same time they have decreased their
loans ST $50 ,000 and their deposits $7O,71l O0o.
This will give an idea of the general liqui-
dation that has been in progress for sixty
days.
The conversion of sterling bills into god
imports accounts in large part for the loss
in loans. The decrease in deposits has
been influenced by the demands OF the in-
terror institutions. The loss in loans Id
deposits almost counterbalance, but the re-
serve requirements of the banks have been
reduced ST. O00, 900 dollars so that with but
four millions more cash on hand then re-
ported sixty days ago, the surplus holdings
are over $21 100000 greater. In other words,
the excess reserve is now $44 OoO sixty
days ago it was $22. 959. 1926.
The issue of a government loan Will large
w reduce this amount, but 1t will not neces-
sariy require further contraction of the
several important items of the banks. UP
to the present time the New York institu-
lions have been taking care of their GUS
toners, but the amount of new business
has been almost nothing. The logical
trend. once the new bonds are issued, will
be toward an easier market for money
This conclusion finds a basis In the fact
that the country is recovering from its
fear of possible consequences Of the war
and also in the tendency of the banks
to take out new circulation.
