provement was the result of opening ca
bIes which were better than expected and
to indications of light receipts at Cal

market turned decidedly weak under sell
ing by a large Philadelphia house which
was continued throughout the session
without a let up. The market was also
weakened by persistent pounding by Ger
man houses, already believed to be heayi-
IN short Efforts were made to rally
the market by talk of better conditions

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER.
New York, Dec. 1-(SpeciaD The
movement Of the crop to-day has been
considered large by the local trade, be-
cause of the increase in the stocks at the
interior towns and the improvement of
the morning has been quickly lost under
realizing sales for local account An
increase in the bearish temper Of the
trade has been noticeable during the
past few days, and heaving offer
ings at weak moments, is the feature
of the market by operators in
clined to anticipate a decline. Receipts
at the interior towns shows a sharp fall
ing off from last week, causing the de-
cline, as the explanation is put forward
that the decrease is due to the bad
weather prevailing throughout the cotton
belt and not to the lack of cotton. In
short the local trade here has become
bearish through the absence of any
buying to sustain an advance Crop
reports do not change. They Indicate
a crop of less than the actual consump-
ton. Brokers supposed to represent
Philadelphia export house have been
prominent sellers. Reports from the
South received during the afternoon,
point to sharp falling off in the move
ment but the heavy selling before men
toned closed the market quiet at the
decline. The trade is bearish in the ab
sence of any business and expects a
lower Liverpool market in the morning

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The stock market
today was moderately active and the course
of speculation irregular. There was evil
dence of manipulation by operators for
both accounts with the bears in control
in the forenoon and the bulls in the after
noon dealings. The only news bearing
upon prices consisted of the declaration of
the regular quarterly dividend by the Man
haitian directors, the recommendation OF
ment on Western Union and st. Paul an
nual report. The arrival Of gold from
Europe has now begun to be regarded as
q matter Of course and also the deposits
of fairly considerable amounts of the metal
in the subtreaSury. London prices came
lower as a result of a bear strategy and
the local opening. under this influence. and
realizing was decidedly weak, with the
industrials and specialties the chief suf-
ferers. The early declines extenG.ed to IL
per cent. At the declines the market be-
cam dull there being a noticeable ~ y ence
OF pressure of long stock, and this fact soon
caused f1rmer tone and fractional recov-
cries occurred when the, bears renewed
their pressure. The market on the tack
displayed more animation than hadlchar-
acterized the decline and the traders were
active in bidding u prices. and especially
in sugar. The industrials contributed
largely to the aggregate sales. The clos
ing was at the top level at gains of q point
or thereabouts In many shares. Bonds rose
sharply in sympathy with the improve
ment in stock values. The gains, however,
were most propounced in the less active
issues. The sales were s790,000 Govern
ment bonds were dull but strong.
