New York. March 31.-The cotton mar.
ket was in an unsettled condition pretty
much all day, and showed unusual sym
patty with declines and advances in the
stock market. Despite the fact that the
early English cables were favorable there
was decline of 8 TO points on the open
ing under light local liquidation and some
Southern selling started by a sharp break
in stocks and rumors that Spain would not
comply with the conditions called for by
this country In regard to the freeing o.
Cuba. BY midday prices had'eased off to
net loss of TO points under further
liquidation, the cotton being taken almost
entirely by Liverpool representatives.
After a period of extreme dullness early
in the afternoon, the market again became
spasmodicaly active, with the underlone
feverish owing TO conflicting reports from
Washington and another break in stocks.
The close was quiet and steady at net
loss of to 6 points.

New York, March 31.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: THE Temper Of the cotton mar
ket changed to-day and prices declined.
| In spite of an advance of two sixty
fourths in Liverpool the opening here was
8 points lower. The political news, while
not definite was disquieting, and was the
cause of the decline. After the opening.
prices weakened further but a sharp
break was prevented by good buying for
Liverpool account. The market was mar
row during the day, and the volume OF
transactions small. August opened at 6.05c,
fluct6ated between this figure and 6.02c,
and closed at 6.03c to 6.0ic, with the tone
of the market quiet and steady. We ex-
pect lower prices"
