Hubbard Bros & Co.'S Letter.

New York, May Especial. )-Liver- pool and Manchester refused to follow the decline in our market yesterday, the sup rly of cotton in and for Great Britain being about 500,000 bales less than last year and about 1S0.0O0 bales less than year ago Naturally merchants and spin ners there are more or less uneasy over the small supply at hand with a small supply remaining in America. Therefore nearby deliveries advanced while the new crops were only shade lower Heavy rains were reported from Texas and Okla homa with predictions of further rains for Sunday. When 1t is remembered how important it is to the spinning interests who are facing a revival in the demand for cotton goods without reserve stocks of cotton either in America or Great 3ritain), that the next crop should be d large one of high grades, the present rainy weather is worthy of serious col- sideration If is an axiom that no large crop ever followed a wet May. Locally the feeling is rather bearish on the theory that the reaction in the stock market will again upset the improvement in busi- ness.

Manchester Cloth Market.

Manchester, May 23.-The improved con ditions in the cloth market noticeable last week, has been barely maintained. The enhanced prices asked by manufacturers failed to reach the limits sent from In- dia, China etc, and concessions were, therefore, made when takers were anx- ious to dispose of stocks and only small turnover Is represented in shirtings from Calcutta and miscellaneous goods from South America and the Mediterranean.
