Hubbard Bro.. & Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. Sour market
opened with sales of January at $3.50,
and after selling at S.24c ruled at SIZE
at IL a. m. The reaction, which the
trade have been looking for, sustained
the market to the close to-day at an
advance of to points over yester-
day. Whether the market touched bot
tom yesterday will only be determined
by the movement of the crop. To-
days total movement shows an In
crease of $4,000 bales over last week
If this Is an indication of the result
of the export and spinning business
put through on the last decline we will
have larger movement than last sea-
SON. The break in prices checked the
shipment of cotton to New York and
there appeared to be more buying of
the January position to-day by the
heavy sellers of last week. The princi-
pal buyers were from the West. The
South is keenly aware that no killing
frost, except in isolated districts, has
occurred as yet, and probably none will
occur before Monday. So long as cot
ton keeps making they cannot be ex-
pected to buy heavily in this market.
More business has been done for ex-
ports and for the New England mills
than for some time past. This is the
feature in favor of the market 1t
shows that spinners willing to begin
buying on the present basis of values.
The temper of the trade is less bearish

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Nov. s.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
to 8 points on favorable cables and
good general buying. Business was
upon a heavy scale. and the market
continued active throughout the session
with prices after the opening call, now
ever, quite irregular under local spec
ulative influences with a bearish as
sault made upon the January position
which led to a decline of 4@5 points
after which there was a renewed rally
with buying orders heavy from Europe
and selling orders less numerous from
the South, The demand was stimu-
lated by the. indication of record con-
sumption observed IN the absorption o.
cotton, which last week was S42,sls
bales. against 1855 bales last year.

shght Improvement to-day had the eff
feet of steadying up the spot market.
Quotations unchanged. Q
The market for contracts was very
quiet. At the opening prices were only
a partial point above yesterdays level,
though subsequent gain of points
was effected. This improvement did not
hold, however, values again breaking
slightly and thereafter f1uctuating but
mildly until the noon closing, when the
board showed net gains from the open
ing OF l to 2 points on the distant
months, the nearer positions standing
at even figures.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-11-09

the excess being 114,0O0 bales, while
Tor the season the absorption has all
ready been $4,000 bales greater than
last years for the same period of sixty
elght days following Aug. 81. The
market was further helped by reports
that the Southern spot markets were
being relieved of pressure in the way
OF free offerings of late apparent. Sub
stantlaI people were in evidence as
buyers in the local market this MORN
ing. Selling for short account was
more or less liberal. but always in a
guarded way, owing to the heavy de-
CINE which has already taken place.
Some parties picked up a good deal of
cotton entirely on the reaction theory.
Ihe weather news was not such as to
change preconceived ideas regarding
the crop.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. S.-very heavy
selling of stocks, the source of which
was mysterious, developed on the Stock
Exchange to-day. Possibly for this
reason the selling gave rise to many
rumors of a somewhat alarming char
acter, pointing to financial trouble. Re-
ports We're also current of large forced
liquidation by one of the leading spec
ulative operators.
Another rumor was to the effect that
the United States Steel Corporation
had in contemplation sweeping reduce
ton in selling prices all along the
line. Still another was to the effect
that the Secretary of the Treasury
was about to make heavy drafts upon
the government deposits with the ma
tional banks in order to replenish the
governments own working balance.
The opinion found some hackers that
the whole movement was well plan
ned bear raid, the supposed leader of
the raid being the very leader alleged
to be under pressure by creditors and
forced to liquidate long stocks The
proved untruth of some of the rumors
circulated pointed to the activity OF
bear traders, but it is customary de-
vice of the professional operator de-
srous of short selling or liquidating
stocks to give the impression Of short
stocks in order to invite support the
stocks he is selling. There was not
much evidence of supporting orders in
to-days market and the demand from
shorts to cover at the last was not
sufficient to overcome the continued
pressure to SELL so that the closing
was weak in some cases at the lowest
Declines reached points and points
In a considerable list of active stocks
A slump of 10 points in Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western on the sale
of $50 shares attracted considerable at
tention.
The bank statement showed a de-
crease in cash of $5,464,000, which was
100000 more than expected. The
small loan contraction of 3,029, 100 lost
some significance from the known fact
that new loans have been secured
abroad during the week. The sustain
ed strength OF sterling exchange also
keeps alive the question of remittances
abroad by gold shipments. This stu
alton would account for some degree
Of renewal pressure upon speculative
borrowers.
Bonds have shown the same irregu-
lar tendency as stocks on a small vol
ume of business. United States rs and
