The Memphis Appeal is advised by an
army officer, in whom It has great con-
hdence. that we have not sufficient force
at hand at this time to justify us in in
vading Cuba. In the first place. the great

a. and that force Is the only

centiatc the volunteers. If this force Is
sent TO Cuba during this rainy season,
as the talk goes, unacclimated as they
are. how many men do you suppose VIII
return alive after going out as backstops,
as il were. for Spanish bullets and also
on a campaign against the diseases Whlch
are inevitable in camps where so many
men are domiciled? l should say that
1000 would be fair estimate. Now, that
would be your nucleus for the volunteers
TO gather around. Does it not strike you
as strange that when any thinking man
is bound to understand that these are
conditions and not theories, he expects
a quick ending to the war? We simply
were not ready for war when hosulltleS
were declared, and think that Congress
has acted unwisely in falling 10 prepare
for Just such contingencies long ago.
We must have mon to go into the bust
ness of carrying on war successfully, but
under the existing condition of affairs
we cannot get them unless the men
themselves take the notion into their
heads that fighting is funnier than either
work or loahng.
The Dispatch takes much more hope
full view than that. We don't believe shis
will be a long war. We doubt If it will
be necessary TO send any soldiers to Cuba
to put the Spaniards out. Our navy will
probably be able to bring the enemy to
terms. And IL Sampson and Schley sue
coed in destroying the Cape Verde fleet,
the folly of continuing the war will dawn
upon all parties in Spain.

of the market CONTINUED to-day and an
other 1-cent drop characterized the situa-
ton to-day. There was a good demand
at the decline and all of the offerings were
taken at the closing price. At the Board

Rosin-The main feature of the rosin
market to-day, was the discovery that the
receipts during the past season had been
over 10000 barrels in excess of the reports.
This was ascertained by an actual count
of the stock on the wharves and on ship
board, which resulted in statement from
the naval stores inspector showing the
stock on hand to be q 249 barrels more
than the Board of Trade statement on
March 81 This amount has been added
to the stock to agree with the count, max
ing 1t 13S6SS barrels on April /. The
amount, if added to the receipts of the
past season, will give total of las, 1863
barrels, showing a decrease as compared
with last year of 27,70S barrels, instead of
4S 952 as reported on April 1.
At the Board of Trade to-day, at the

OF cotton: THE fluctuations in cotton This
week have reflected the varying political
rumors and have been Influenced entirely
by them and by sympathy with the move
ments of the stock market, which. of
course, is looked upon as the political ha-
rometer. sharp upward movement on
peace rumors early in the week has no,
neen entirely lost on the disquieting news
now current. The one consistent feature
OF the market has been steady buying for
the Liverpool account in unhedgeing strad-
die operations. LiverpooPs attitude has
been good, that market being supported
by favorable Manchester reports. To-day
the market was nervous and narrow. omen
ing l to points lower, declining a little
1urther and then, owing to the strength of
STOCKS, rallying and establishing a small
net gain for the day. Liverpool was 2-64d
lower
August opened al 6.0Oc, declined to 5.9Ic.
advanced to 6.03c and closed at 6O2c to
o.OSc, with the tone of the market steady.
AS given by the public press, the indi-
cations to-day point to war with Spain.
1t is problematical what effect hostilities
would have on cotton. 1t is more than
likely that the first shock would result
in something of break, due to disturbed
money markets and the uneasiness of
holders. The force of this break would
probably be greatly modified, however, by
the TACT that the contingency has been
present for so long and many operators
have prepared for it. The bulls contend
that, in the long run, war would certainly
tend to curtail acreage, and to so disturb
labor in the South as to seriously impair
The chances of the new crop, and to be
strong factor in favor of an advance.
Al present, planting is progressing well;
hn Ice -
mand for spot cotton from the other size
is diminishing, and we do not see the
way clear for a bull campaign, unless
there be some new developments"
