HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER

New York, N. Y, Oct. 3.--(S pecial.)
A very dull market is the result of
the interruption to business occasioned
bv the recent storm, and the influence
which appears so nearly to balance the
factors on the other side. Very few
look for any decline in values, because
OF the belief in a yield of cotton below
the actual consumption requirements,
and no one is disposed to expect an
immediate decline. On the other hand,
the constant pressure of cotton for inn
mediate delivery seems enough to sup
ply the limited new speculative de-
mand. A quiet market is to be expect
cd until these factors change.
