HUBBARD BROS. & co.'s LETTER.
New York, June 1S.-(Special. Our
market was surprised to-day at the
relative strength of Liverpool in face
of the weakness here yesterday, but
a small improvement was quickly lost
under selling orders from the South,
especially from the northern belt.
Crop accounts as received by mail could
hardly be better, though telegraphic
accounts from Texas report the wealth
er as hot and dry. August has shown
more weakness than the more distant
positions. being at times without APP
parent support and the execution of
orders has at all times been difficult.
The temper of the trade here is dis
tinctly bearish on the absence of specu-
lation which is the natural result of
good crop advices from the South.
The heavy selling of August was re-
ported to be due to the shipment of
a large line of cotton from the South
to be delivered upon August contracts
and this pressure caused the distant
positions to close a shade lower than
last evening. Traders expect lower
market on good crops, though rain is
beginning to be needed in the south
west.
