LIVERPOOL Came il with an Advance
Not Expected.
THE SPOT SALES THERE WERE HEAVY
American Futures Advance Only on

spots Very Firmly Held.
Office of The Post,
Houston, Thursday, April Il.

Houston, Thursday, April IL
There may be wiseacres who can anaiyz'
the cotton SITUATION. They are certainly rare
All through the Spanish American contro-
versy there were many who said that IN
moment war began cotton would go down
On two or three occasions 1t certainly mas
sppeared that hostilities would occur and yet
On these occasions cotton would advance n
few points and ON peace news would some
times decline.
Yesterday, when Americas ultlmatum 10
Spain was wired to Madrid, cotton jumped
up Mt bounds; there was no crawling. Now,
while the bulge was ascribed by some to be
because war seemed inevitable. others held
that the advance was due TO a probable back
ing down by Spain at the last moment on
account Of influence from the vatican and
advice from Rothschilds and continental
powers
Today the flying squadron sailed. or was
reported to have sailed. Woodford has been
given his walking papers and other news OF
the most warlike character was in circula-
ton. Stocks went off and provisions and
wheat went up Yet cotton practically did
nothing but hold its own on this side of the
AtldHtlC. IL WOulu tuuS seem tnGt any one
who can correctly forecast the situation If he
has money to back up his judgment should
make fortune. However, as stated at the
outset, the true prognosticators are rare.
Liverpool was expected to come in some
higher today and It did so. 1t came in higher
than expected the advance In futures being
5-6id and In spots l-32d, with the sales phe-
nomenally large for any season-20, 900 bales
New York futures were / off to / un on
all but far positions, the latter being 5 to 4
up. New Orleans copied New York In the
way of fluctuations.
Houston and Galveston were closed on ac-
count of San Jacinto day. Cotton men, how
ever. report that all sales are made at prices
above quotations, and that holders are tena-
cious, expecting better values.
New York and New Orleans closed un-
changed.
In the political shuttle the movement has
been lest sight of. At the present rate the
receipts from now until September rext
would be below those of the corresponding
period in the big crop year, and would bear
out the assertion by one class of speculators,
who hold that the greater part of this sea-
sons crop was marketed earlier than usual
Receipts at ports were 7776, against sioS
last year and 1914 in 1895.
New Orleans expects tomorrow 1900 to 1000
bales. against 1888 last year and 24l9 In 1895.
Houston expects 500 to 900, against i97 last
year and SA in 1896
