Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, September ga cold wealth
er map, with temperatures as los as 10
III Amarillo and Abilene, caused a sharp
advance In Liverpool before our open
ing, together with a sharp demand for
December by a prominent commission
house which advanced our market some
16 to IS points. Heavy realizing by out
side holders together with selling orders
from the south, supplied this demand
and the market slowly sold off to. the
close. The storm in the West indies Is
now expected to pass east of the cot
ton belt, while warmer, fair weather Is
predicted to follow this cold wave. While
the local temper remains bullish disap-
pointment is felt that the advance today
did not hold in view of the belief In
a bullish October bureau report. Receipts
in Texas and the southwest will continue
on a large scale for in that section the
crop is being marketed rapidly as 1t
is believed to be large one. Our
local trade is not disposed to look for any
decline as it cannot see any cotton point
ing here for delivery on October.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 2S.-Cotton
spots were firm and Lice higher on
good inquiry at top prices for eastern
mills. Middling, csc. Sales were 100
bales on the spot and 1900 to arrive.
Cotton futures opened steady to Is
points over Saturdays close. The first
cold weather scare of the season,
which caught sh orts unprepared, was
responsible for the higher opening. The
market was not supported at the high
levels and the weather scare was quick
ly discounted on the ground that it is
too early for damaging frost. Prices
therefore fell away quickly almost to
Saturdays figures. Shorts selling later
almost completely wiped out the in
ital gains, the market closing quiet
and steady l to points over Saturday.

thus further reducing the volume Of cash
in circulation.
Banks are organized to lessen. as far as
possible. the volume of unused. non-work-
ing money. Bankers are engaged con-
stantly in a campaign of education to per-
suade people of the folly and the injustice
of keeping their money under lock and
key themselves. instead of putting 1t
where it can do the days work Of the
world. Their task is rendered difficult at
times by the unfortunate conduct of un-
faithful cashiers. tellers. directors and
others charged with the responsibilities of
such institutions. In the degree that the
banks are well managed and the people s
cash is properly used for banking pur-
poses, the public is encouraged to trust
them.
Mr.. Bryan would have the government
guarantee the deposits of the people in the
banks of the country. This proposition
has elected a volume of protests from
those engaged in the business Of banking,
and is at the same time approved by some
people who have not fully studied out the
probable effects of such a system. 1t is
not at this time likely that the expert
ment will ever be tried in the United
States. Given proper code of laws gov
ernine the management of banks. and a
sufficient force of federal inspectors to ad-
minister those laws, and there will be few
bank wrecks through illegal practices.
There may be entertainments in small
amounts here and there, but rarely is a
defalcation of great scope possible under
an adequate process of federal super
vision.

Buried and Hoarded Money!

That Alabama man who buried his
money and found later that it had disinte-
grated has perhaps learned a wholesome
lesson. His experience should be widely
published. as warming. Distrusting banks
and all other forms of safekeeping for
cash. this man hit upon the brilliant scheme
of putting his bills under ground In
truth. he actually buried lot of printed
paper. as worthless, economically. as the
trash he founu when he went to dig 1t up
appeared to be. 1t was not money during
the years of its burial. 1t was no better
than as many bits of wrapping paper. To
the owner it stood for wealth, but it was
only wealth in his mind. 1t was not real
money in the best sense of the term. It
was not working capital. and money is
not performing its functions when it is not
AT work.
The skepticism regarding banks is not
an uncommon state of mind after money
str:ngencies have occurred in the financial
markets and panics have destroyed conf
dcnce to large extent. In 1898 faith in
the banking institutions was at so low an
. eb5 that for a long time every safe deposit
box in all the large cities was hired. for
the storage OF currency. Thus the people
who had money were adding to the diff
culties of the situation by boarding 1t and

BRYAN at INDIANAPOLIS.

At the Kern notification meeting in
Indianapolis next week Mr.. Kern will
limit himself to fifteen minutes and Mr..
Bryan will speak for an hour. Hospi-
tally? Or the eternal fitness of things?
Whatever the explanation, Mr.. Kern is
wise in giving way to his chief. Mr..
Bryan, even in Indiana, is the whole
show. He has reserved all the points of
the campaign discussion, and the country
wants to hear from him. He may have
nothing really new to say about anything,
but the fact that he is once more at grips
with the opposition over the presidency
will make all of his deliverances interest
ing. Mr.. Kern is a good man. but alto
gether subordinate to his picturesque and
aggressive running mate.
