Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'S Letter.

New York, March 1-(Special)- final report gives the total crop this sea son, including linters, as 11,261,000 bales. The report was received at the opening of business indicating an outcome of 2000, GOO less this season but without af- fectng the market except for a moment, as the trade is looking at the curtailment of consumption by the spinners and not at the question of supply. Selling orders from the recent bull party were in evi- dence, filling up the buying orders from Europe where the falling off in the sup ply of 100000 from India, America and Egypt impresses the trade abroad more than 1t does at home. Shortly before noon selling orders came from Fall River, based on report that the Fall River Iron Works mill would be run on half time On this a running decline followed of 25 points, with a slight recovery at the close, but with the traders more bearish than ever.

COTTON MARKET
 HTS TIE BOTTOM Prices Drop on Receipt of the
 Ginners' Report STATISTICS ARE BULLISH On a Crop Estimate of 11,26t Ooo Bales the Market Was Due To Advance,
 But Bulls Failed To
 Support.
STATISTICS ARE BULLISH

New York, March 20.-After opening higher today on frmer cables and bullish census figures, the cotton market broke sharply, making new low records for the season and closing steady, but at a net decline of 10 to r points. Sales were estimated at 35O,OO0 bales.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 6 to 9 points on covering and some buying attracted by better Liverpool ca bles than expected, reports of steciier spot markets in the south, and the cen- sus report, placing the crop of 1907-OS at il 261 GOO bales, including an estimate of 127, 6i6 bales remaining to be ginned and 27G,5O0 bales linters. There was aggres- sive selling by Wall street bears on initial advance, however, and after ruling very nervous during the middle session the market became weak following a report that a prominent Fall River mill would curtail production by shutting down every other week for the next two months. May declined to 977c, or Is points under yes- terdays clcse and 202 points below the high level of last January. The close was q little up from the lowest on the active months as a result of covering. It was estimated that the ourtailment mentioned above would not aggregate more than 5000 bales of cotton but the sentimental effect was considerable and the news was fol- lowed by heavy selling by brokers sup posed to be operating for the recent bull leaders. A few March notices were cir culated during the day and these notices were also attributed to the recent bull pool, which is supposed to have complete ly abandoned if it has not reversed its position Southern spot markets were un- changed to Ac lower
