Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 2.-(Special.) J. Many buying orders were ready for exc cution if the census ginning report was under nine and three-quarter mil lions, therefore the market advanced quickly after the report of 9,630,- 900 bales was published. On the advance wall street houses were free Sellers, taking profits on their recent purchases. with a large supply, espe- cially of January deliveries. Other out side interests were large buyers on the belief that the report was a bullish one as indicating a crop smaller than ex- pected. If the same percentage, 71.5, has been ginned as In 1905, the reports point to a crop of between 13.500.000 and 13 750,O00 bales No comparison is made with the percentage of 66 as given for the last two crops as the ginning Is believed to be more rapid than last season. The tenn per of the trade Is bullish and an ad- vance of points is expected in Liverpool on Monday. It Is apparent from the gin- ners' returns that the crop of the At lantic states where ginning began early has been underestimated.

LIBERAL RECEIPTS
 OEPRESS WHEAT
Trade Is Dull the Entire Bay

CLOSE ALMOST AT LOWEST
Corn Is Slightly Firm In the Early ses- sion, But Prices Ease Off on Sell lng-Oats and Provisions
 Are Also Lower.

Chicago, November 21.-Continued lib- and southwest had a depressing effect on the local wheat market today, prices at the close being hQ91c to ssc lower. Corn, oats and provisions were also easy.
 Trade in the wheat pit was dull the entire day and sentiment was bearish with the exception of a few minutes at the opening when some firmness was manifested as a result of moderate advance at Liverpool There were no new developments in the situation and the majority of pit traders were inclined to favor the selling side of the market owing to the continued free movement of wheat in this country. Prices during the day fluctuated over a range of 1s @9sc to %@Ac. The close was weaS at almost the lowest point with Decem- Der at $1.o41s and May at $1.os.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 42S,OO0 bushels.
 Primary receipts were 1,169,0O0 bushels compared with 821.0O0 bushels the cor responding day a year ago.
  ported receipts of 630 cars against 570 cars last week and 37O cars year ago.
 Corn displayed slight firmness during the first part of the day on buying by a leading elevator concern but eased off later owing to quite general selling based on a likelihood that receipts next week will be much more liberal. The close was easy with prices unchanged to Ac low CT. December closed at 635sc and May at 6Sc. Local receipts were 279 cars with five of contract grade.
 Trade in oats was dull and the range of prices was narrow. There was lit- tie buying by provision interests early in the day which held prices steady but late in the session there was sufficient selling pressure to cause slight recessions. The close was easy with prices a shade to Ac lower compared with the previous close. December closed at 499sc and May at 51BQ51Ac. Local receipts were 172 cars.
 Provisions were weak all day because of scattered selling.
 Local packers gave the market almost no support At The close prices were Dc to 1Oc lower
 Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat 39 cars, corn 243 cars, oats 131 cars, hogs 54000 head.
