That England is gradually recovering
from that cocksure spirit Of infallibility
is again proved by the fact that the au-
tomato coupler is to be adopted on its
railroads. When we adopted it several
years ago our transatlantic cousins
looked upon it US snare and delusion,
but slowly its advantages have dawned
upon them until now they are willing to
admit that at least one other good thing
has come out of Nazareth. In the same
way our system of checking baggage is
gradually taking the place abroad of the
chalk mark and the advantages of the
American locomotive and palace car are
becoming realized in manner that will
soon make it impossible for the old con-
servative element over there to enjoy
the inconvenience of travel fastened
onto their railroads fifty years ago.

The attitude of the Spanish Cortes sug-
geSts the possibility that it might posi-
bly, refuse to ratify the treaty of peace
with the United States and adjourn,
leaving at least, technically speaking, n
state of war existing between the two
countries. In that event the United
States would get by the right of con-
quest everything that it contends for,
and Spain would lose the S20,0OO,OOO
we are ready to pay. OF course no sune
country would take such II step, but
whatever Spain may be sanity does not
appear to be its strong card. However,
the bear garden performances of the
Cortes probably have for their object
the ousting of Sagastu from power ana
when that is,accomplished the considera-
ton of 100000 in cash is likely to
prove such strong argument and balm
for injured Spanish honor that it will
be gladly accepted and the treaty
promptly ratified.

which was predominant in the stock

COTTON.
New York. July 13.-Speculation in
cotton futures picked up little today
but it was far from being active. Shorts
were naturally timid, we'll knowing that
the short interest in the crop positions
was heavy, on the theory of targe il
not an unmaIa geable new crop ard that
the Texas situation might after all be
rs represented. The market was. there
fore sensitive to any bullish influence and
when English cables came higGer and
showed increased interest in spot cotton
abroad, there was q demand to cover
which carried prices 203 points higher
on the opening call. Outside spacuia-
ton and investment demand was not
particularly brisk. however. and there
was a disposition to liquidate August
cotton contracts, which retarded the up
ward movement of the new crop posi-
tions. Nevertheless the market further
advanced 2M3 points after the opening
call. There was some general realizing
to stop the Improvement, after it had
reached 40I6 points on yesterdays close.
During the afternoon there was grad
ual taperng off of interest which left
the market quiet and reflected a degree
of timidity OH the part of all classes of
traders The market was finally quiet
and steady at unchanged prices to 3
points not advance.
Interest in the information from Texas
turns on the extent of actual damage
done as compared with possibilities in the
way Of replanting and recuperation.
