New York, Dec. T-Paine. Murphy &
Co. say of cotton: EARLY cables showed a
decline for futures with prices quiet This
was reflected in our market at the open
ing, causing decline of from l to points
in the first sales. After this the market
ruled steady, throughout, closing with
net decline of l to points, which was
caused, principally. by small realizing or
ders by those not wishing to go over Sun
day. Receipts Were slightly less than last
year; this factor, however, failed to enter
the market. Moderate exports also con-
tlnue and a larger volume of business wiz
undoubtedly cause advancing prices. The
holiday spirit is expected to prevail for the
next two weeks or more and narrow fluc-
tuations may be looked for except in the
event of some unlocked for factor, which
shall awaken fresh interest. Total amount
in sight for the season 6, 723,0 600 against g.
4T4 60 lac This Is fairly
good comparison, when We take into con-
sideration the adverse weather conditions
that have prevailed throughout the cotton
belt during the past four or five weeks.
Prevailing opinion is that the market viii
sag off bit, but al agree that the mar
ket must eventually advance"
New York, Dec. 7-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say of cotton: 1T is difficult to I'M
derstand the weakness of Liverpool, in
face of the strength of the American mar
kets unless Manchester has obtained suffi-
Client supply to last until the new year.
According to Ellison, the stock of cotton
held by European spinners is $4,000 bales,
against 1851 600 last year. of which Great
Britain holds 10000, and the continental
spinners 3S4 600, against 111,000 bales. Our
market pays no attention to Liverpool, be-
ing sustained by the demand from resting
orders from parties who are buying on
the basis of the Improvement in business,
and the belief that the bad picking wealth
er will seriously curtail the crop. In this
connection one of our valued Savannah
correspondents calls attention to the
quality and quantity Of low grade in this
crop, which should increase the consulnp-
ton as 1t takes more bales of low grade
to furnish the same out-turn of cloth. The
temper of the trade Is decidedly bullish
and it Is considered foolish to look for any

DRY GOOns.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE week closes
with all advances so far made in cotton
goods well maintained, and with the ten

general demand keeps up, but in some
quarters business is smaller at the higher
prices than it was prior 10 the advances.
The market is practically bare Of leading
makes of heavy sheetings and drills, and
of fine yarn light weight grey cloths
Bleached cottons are also in generally
light supply, In first hands and very firm.
There is a much improved demand for
cotton yarns. Prints and ginghams show
a very firm tendency. Heavy colored goods
are steady and in fair request. No change
is reported in wooden goods.

Fast on the Rocks.
The Infanta Maria Teresa and tn, AImi-
rante Oquendo stand upright, stuck fast
on the rocky shoals. All that is left of
them is their outer hulls. the heavy armor
defying total annihilation. Inside of them
the work of destruction is complete. Their
toilars, engines, bunkers and magazines
have been blown into unacceptable mass
es of twisted, melted iron. Exploded shells,
burned rifles and revolvers, pieces of yell
lew brass work and gold and silver coin,
melted by the intense heat, are strewn all
ever the remains of the once proud armor-
ed cruisers, whose protective decks only
stand in places.
But the most ghastly, horrible sights in
those silent steel coffins are the mangled,
SCARED and charred bodies of hundreds of
brave sailors, sacrificed for their country.
Buzzards are feeding eff the dead and 9TH

On the beach other fiocks of vultures sit

dead. Every tide adds to the tale of hor-
ror washing up such objects as, for in
stance, sleeve inclosing a wasted arm,
other portions of human bodies gnawed by
hungry sharks, and countless relics of the
battle.
Attention has been given to the burial Of
the dead of the enemy, and over 100 bodies
taken from the ships or washed ashore
have been inferred upon the beach by Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS orders.
Those which how ramain are either al

THE POSITION OF ITALY
Ambassador Draper Has Talk With the
President.
That Government FriendIy-Will Not
Interfere With Possession of
the Philippines.

Gen. Draper. the American ambassador
to Italy, has arrived in the city on leave
OF absence for sixty days. He had a talk
with President Mckinley today, having
first been to the State Department, where
he was in conference with Judge Day for
a long time.
1t Is absolutely known that Gen. Draper's
visit has no significant connection with the
talk that Spain Is making overtures for
peace. Gen. Draper concluded that he
would see the officials Of the administration
and talk fully with them over the attitude
OF the European powers. and especially
over the attitude of Italy.
All Europe Wants Peace.
1t Is understood on the highest authority
that Gen. Draper gave the administration
to understand that the whole Of Europe is
anxious to see peace, and is gradually put
ting pressure on Spain to force her to ask
for honorable terms from the United
States.
Gen. Diapers opinion is that Italy is
more friendly to the United States than
any European power except England. 1t is
said that Gen. Draper gave the State De-
partment to understand that Italy is even
more friendly to the United States than
she is to Spain. This is manifested in
Hauy ways IN Italy, particularly In the
fact that Gen. Draper is everywhere re-
ceived with the greatest hospitality.
Italy VIII Not Interfere.
General Draper's understanding is that
Italy will not interfere in anything this
government may do in the Philippine ISL
ands. That country will not care if the
United States takes possession Of the ISL
ands and keeps them. 1t is said that he
has informed the State Department that
all the information received by him in
Rome was that Germany is likely to make
more demands as to the Philippines than
any other European power. England, as
he understands the drift in diplomatic cir
cles, will be glad to see the United States
permanently take possession of the islands.
General Draper's understanding is that
there is a strong party in Spain for peace.
This party believes that Spain will be bet
ter off without colonial possessions and is
openly urging this. The party which de-
sires to continue the war says that Spain
will keep up the conflict after Cuba and
Porto Rico are taken. This party calcu-
lates that If Spain refuses to ask for peace
the United States will eventually be COM
PEELED to send troops to the land of the
dons. The Spaniards believe this would
give them great opportunity to avenge
defeats
