Great Excitement In Spain Over tho Fiti-
busters Enpected Arrirai.
LONDON, ENG, Dec. 13.-The Morning
Post tomorrow will print statement by
the Reuters Telegram Company that the
vessel siInaled off Valencia, Spain, yester-
day, was not the ex-filibuster Laurada.
The vessel is not expected to arrive at
Valencia until Monday. Her consignee
has disclaimed her cargo.
If this statement is true it furnished an
effective denial to dispatch alleged to
have been sent from Madrid to the Chi
cago Associated Press denying the dis
patches of the United Associated Presses
that the Laurada intended to call at Valen-
cia after sailing from Messlna.
Reuters Telegram Company is appar.
emily not aware of the fact that the Chi
cago Associated Press, which in way
represents the former concern in the
United States, had emphatically denied
the truth of the United Associated Presses
dispatches and had explained that the
Valencia referred to was Valencia, Venezu-
Ella, and not Valencia, Spain. Otherwise
the British concern would not now say
that the Laurada was not expected at
Valencia. Spain, until Monday night and
that her consignee had refused to accept
the responsibility for her cargo. AS
matter of fact the Madrid dispatch of the
Chicago Associated Press, or the greater
portion OF it, was not sent from Madrid.
or If it was it was expanded in New York
to suit the end which the Chicago Asso-
ciated Press had in view-that is, to deny
the truth of the news it is not in posi-
tion to cover.
VALEN CIA, SPAIN, Dec 13-A mistake
was made in reading the signals displayed
by vessel which arrived off this port yes
terday and as result it was announced
that the notorious filibustering steamer
Laurada, which has carried men and arms
to Cuba to aid the insurgents, was coming
into port from Messina, whittier she had
gone on regular voyage. The statement
that such vessel would come into Span
ish port aroused much indignation, as was
cabled at the time 10 the United Asso-
ciat, Presses. The report caused the
greatest excitement among the populace
and it was feared that If she came into the
harbor an attack would be made upon her.
The force of police and military was in
creased in order to suppress any overt act
against vessel under the American flag
The cruiser Marie Theresa arrived here
to re-enforce The coast guard vessels, which
will keep close watch upon the Laurada
when she arrives.
The authorities have decided not to for

cables were great disappointment and
greatly influenced trading. Other markets
generally showed weakness, corn closing
5sc. lower, oats &c. lower and provisions

A disagreeable surprise was given
wheat spectators at the opening. Al
though an advance of 2114c. per bushel was
chronicled in the local market yesterday
all the response Liverpool made to this
was an advance of from Il to I'D. Con-
sequence was that large quantities of
wheat were offered for sale Immediately
December opning from 1914 to so against
yesterdays closing price Of SOS. After
the opening decline, a gradual recovery
to S03s occurred But when the
second cable came, reporting a break in
Liverpool, Of 112d, equal to 134c,, the
liquidation became more urgent and the
price Jumped, selling down to 1878 for
an instant.
BY II o'clock the bulls had temporarily
recovered from their fright and had hoist
ed December to S05s by 1916 p. m,
which sudden rise, however, brought
enough wheat to knock it back again to
1913 in an equally hurried manner. To-
ward the end Of the session, rumors of
heavy selling by New York syndicate
were influential enough to cause another
break to roe. and that was the price at
the close.

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER.
new 1OTks NOV 1I.--NESpCCIdisJ A1A1
markets to-day have been under the in
fiuenee of rumor that on Thursday or
Friday of this week Mr.. NELL would is
sue a crop estimate of 9,250,000 bales
This is the expected estimate to which
we referred yesterday. 1t is indeed re-
markable that Mr.. Neill's estimate of the
crop should have any influence after the
severe losses of last season, caused by
his estimates, which were so wrong
Nevertheless the rumor has brought large
orders from Liverpool and the continent
to sell in anticipation OF a further de-
cline when this estimate shall have been
officially promulgated. The semi-weekly
movements at the interior towns is less
than last year, and the total coming into
sight this week is expected to closely APP
proaeh the movement of last season. I'M
der ordinary circumstances the facts are
developing in favor of, rather than against
cotton. Another cold wave of freezing
temperature has been predicted for the
cotton belt; in seasons when large crop
Of cotton had been produced frost has
been delayed to a much later period. The
market closed quiet under the influence
of the expected estimate from Mr.. Neill,
though it is not confirmed by the move
ments. 1t is expected that less than
$4,000 bales viii appear in sight this
week.

NEw YoRK sToCK MARKET.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE volume of
business in stocks was somewhat below
the recent average to-day and the Rail-
road list still maintained its leadership
in point Of activity, as a group, although
the banner record was made by American
spirits. The course of prices evidenced
clearly q continued disposition on the
part Of leading operators, until recently
prominent in the upward movement, to
force a reaction. Their argument is
that the rise has progressed in fashion
and fo an extent that has encouraged
what is technically termed pyramid. In
other words, spectators with a little
money have used their profits as margins
for further purchases and have endeayor-
ed to protect themselves by stop orders
Conservative traders always regard this
element in the speculation as menace TO
the market and usually apply heroic
treatment to bring out the weakly held
stocks. The gossip and news furnished
