Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York. October 9-(Special)-The weakness in Liverpool was depressing influence upon the market which show1 little rallying power during the day. some noticeable buying of December agalnst sales of January and later deliveries was a feature, but the spent force or the recent effort toward higher prices Is TOT lowed by a swing in the other directloh and buyers are as few as sellers were scarce. ,.
 The local interest quickly seems to cover and the lack of any decided interest re- suits in quick movements in either direc- tion.
 At the moment the greater tendency IS bearish, as trade reports, while some what better, are not sufficiently better to create a very favorable opinion or prices for the quickly coming heaVy re- ceints of the crop.

 Cotton futures opened steady at a de- cline of to points on disappointing cables and good weather. Further pres sure on the market from the bear side during the morning resulted in more losses by the active options until they were sell ing 12 to 16 points lower than the closing of Saturday. Much of the selling was in- duced by very pessimistic cable messages from Liverpool regarding the situation among the spinners in the Lancashire dis trict, who were said to be reselling their supplies. The short side was also en- couraged by the growing belief that the market is facing the largest ginners' re- port to the census bureau on record up to October IS.
