New York, Feb. d8-Hubbard Bros. a.
70, " their weekly market review, say
OF cotton: Under the influence OF the
liquidation brought about by the political
uncertainty abroad and the fears OF the
influence Of the condition OF affairs In
decline In our market carried prices well
below those current in the south where
ssSouthern sninners actually paid more for
thelr supplies than cotton was selling for
IN New York. At this point the contlnen-
tafspinners again appeared as buyers and
as they were unable TO obtain desirable
qualities In the SOUTH they seem TO have
bought freely in Liverpool for forward
delivery Their purchases have brought
buying orders from that market 70 ours
ana absorbed the offerings resulting from
the continued weakness checking the de-
cline at the lowest point OF the year
. All the factors which have appeared on
this side of the Atlantic have been favora-
BILE 20 a further Improvement, but there
Is yet no change in the pessimistic views
Of the local trade. which, influenced by
the continued decline for the past six
months. Is not disposed to regard an adj
vance I'm prices during the remainder Of
the season as either probable or possible,
and confronts a volume Of diminishing re-
ceipts and an Increasing demand without
fear.
Trade al home Is showing Increased &C.
tivity In nearly all lines. but especially in
the dry goods market where the influence
OF the better returns 20 the farmers for
this seasons crops and the Increase IN
tho number of those employed in the rap
idly opening mills Is making itself felt
SO far as the crop is a factor in determine
ing values, Il Is now evident that the large
crop ideas must be abandoned and the
question OF supply Is practically a fixed
factor for the remainder OF the season.
4. "As TO the now crop, there remains 10
be raised a food crop throughout the cot
ton belt for the coming year and while
IA large acreage will be planted in cotton
IL II hardly probable that we can antici-
pate either as perfect a season or as early
IA crop as last year, when nothing but the
demorallzcd condition Of trade IN America
together with the earliest movement ever
known, prevented an absolute scarcity
of cotton. With increased consumption
from now on this season, we can scarcely
help having an active demand for the re-
maindcr Of the crop, especially as we are
now at prices considered reasonable last
year, when we expected an enormous
crOD."

The Wonderful Coast Defenders to Arrive
Early This Morning.
An unusual sight for the citizens OF

twin screws and a powerful battery or
water-tube boilers. Next 10 the Porter,
the Cushing is the fastest steam Nessel

pedo tubes which are capable OF very
rapid fire. By an ingenious arrangement
