New York Cotton Market.

New York, March 25.-Cotton futures were adversely influenced this morning by more warlike conditions in this country, rumors that the European political situa- tion was again diSarranged and an unset tied condition of affairs in the stock mar ket here.
 English cables were considered favora- b1e and there was a steady start with the prices unchanged to 1 point higher It was immediately followed by a sharp break under active liquidation. The fact that the port and interior movement continued rel atively light failed to check the decline. Late in the forenoon shorts began to cover 2@3 points. Business fell off materially early in the afternoon, scalpers having things pretty much to themselves. The market closed steady with the market un- changed

Paine, Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter.

Birmingham, March 25.-The fact that the Maine report was at last in the presi- dents hands caused the most serious con- struction to be put on the outcome. The market in consequence opened weak with prices 1 to points below yesterdays clos ing. There were feeble attempts rally the market, but the large short interest re- fused to cover and upon very fractional ad- vance there was more stocks offered for sale than could find purchasers. Sugar and the fractions led the decline. Metro poltan which had the support of dividend yesterday showed particular weakness to- day, after selling ex-dvidend. Around D. m. a second slight rally occurred, but after delivery hour, the selling was re- newed and continued until the close with stocks showing losses from to points on the day. The cabinet discussed the Maine report and cabled the findings to Minister Woodward at Madrid. The exact proceed ings Monday by the president are mere conjectures, but 1t is known positively

Paine Murphy Co.'s Grain Letter.
 Birmingham, March 25.-The opening was half a cent under last nights prices, with foreign cables weak. The shorts steaded the market by covering freely on reported removal of Servian duties, but the market soon gave way to local sentiment, which was extremely bearish on favorable wealth CT conditions and there was evidence of further liquidation of longs on the con tinued uncertainty regarding Spanish af- fairs. These conditions soon brought about a decline of nearly a cent from open ing prices, but there was good covering near close and market recovered it's less The Letter crowd held the May option steady. Conservative people think present decline about over and believe the large short interest will soon cover Provisions were again weak.

Cotton Letter

New York, March 25.-The near approach of some definite stand on the Cuban ques- tion caused renewed liquidation in cotton today and prices caused again this morn ing. Liverpool sent encouraging cables, that market advancing one-half sixty fourtlIs. The political news however was disquieting and the opening here was about the same as the close last night, after the opening the liquidation and some aggres- sive bear selling caused a break, but Liy- erpool bought freely here all day. This buying absorbed the offerings and part of the loss was recovered in the after noon. The weeks movement of supplies was on a moderate scale. August opened at 5.94, declined to 5.SS, advanced to 5.91 and closed at that figure with the tone of the market steady Operators on both sides have eased up to gerat extent of late. RIORDAN & co.
