During the past summer Mrs. Leoni- das Hubbard made her sorrowful expe- dition to Labrador to discover, if possi- ble, any trace of how and why her hus- band met his death there two years ago. She entered the desolate region with her Indian guides June 27. and from that time no word was heard from her till November. when tldings came that her search had been successful. Apparently, Leonidas Hubbard perish ed because he lost his way in the in- terior of pitiless Labrador -.-:-

The immediate result of the reports was 2 very sharp break in price, from which however. there was a quick recovery and the market closed steady at a net decline of only { to 6 points.
 Sales were estimated at 500.0o0 bales The market opened steady at an advance of one to two points on scattered cover the local professionals sold on the theory that bullish census report had been dis counted and prices gradually sagged off to net loss of about II points, during the early afternoon. Just before the census re- port was published. March was quoted at minutes afterward sold at 11.75 or thirty points net lower while May broke to II so or forty points net lcwer. At the decline Wal Street bulls end Southern interests bought aggressively. local shorts turned for cover and the market in the late trading or the report was bsarish for the reason apparently that the figures were highly in excess of expectations based on the Nation

 Although the census report issued yester- day was regarded bullish spot cotton In Montgomery did not make even a fseote effort to respond
 Tine census report showed s.25s.1sl bales. December 18th and while the figures an nounced were about in keeping with general expectations. they were partly discounted since they were not small enough to induce . new buying wave.
 tTmediately after the report was read. 2 concerted effort on the part of shorts forced futures down about S1 per bale. but as the number of bales reported gfnned, conformed with moderate If not small crop ideas ver- sus large consumption, traders took advan- tsxe of the unwarrented break by buying lfberaliy of contracts. Were 1t not for the approaching Christmas holidays the mar ket would have received better support. AS st was the greater part of the decline was recovered. closing prices being about the highest of the day. ing sent out bv manirulators but one cannot ret around the inevitable conclusion that the crop is not far aw-- from 100000 bales With spinners demanding cotton and buyers under heavy contracts for flu ture deliveries the bull side seems to be safe unless there Is skillful manipulation by the shorts.
 The wet weather continues all over the belt, and little business Is being done, The Montgomery market is almost completely abandoned.
