New York, May 13.-Speculation in cot
ton futures continued to show hesitation
to-day, largely under fears of sensational
news of the impending conflicts between
land and sea forces Of this country and
Spain. The volume of business to-day
reached only $4,000 bales futures. The
general movement was ia buyers favor
with the utmost decline a matter of a few
points. Indirect pressure was the disap-
pointing character of the English cables.
Another bearish influence was the rather
was without much confidence, however,
as the financial situation and the low
price at which cotton is selling in connec-
ton with generally favorable trade proph-
estes from Europe led to reaction. Mar
ket finally quiet at net decline of 3015
points on the active options.

New York. May 13.-Riordan e. Co. say
of cotton to-day: Intense dullness and
small fluctuations marked the trading in
cotton to-day. A decline Of one sixty
fourth in Liverpool was responded to by
loss of to points at the opening here.
August selling on the first call at 6.34c.
Continued good weather in the South and
an absence of outside orders resulted in a
further loss after the opening, August
touching 6.32c. But the business was so
restricted that those unidentified with the
bull side had no difficulty in bidding the
market back up in the afternoon. August
rallied to 6,35c, and closed at 6.34 to 6.35c,
with the tone Of the market quiet"
