Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York, June 12.-(Special )-This was another quiet day, with the foreign markets still closed on account of the Whitsuntide holidays. and the present factors about offsetting each other The crop is improving in nearly every sec ton under the usual June weather, though in Oklahoma and Western Arkan- sas the outlook must be very poor. This condition of the crop. which might bring about a lower range of prices is offset by the demand from the American spin ners for the cotton remaining in the eoun- try. Some of the stock here is going to southern spinners. Most of the larger merchants are waiting for further devel- opments, watching to see at what point the spinners begin to buy for distant de- livery, which will indicate to them the extent of the forward sales of cotton goods

New Orleans cotten Market.

New Orleans, June 12.-Cotton spots were quiet with prices unchanged. Mid ding 111kc; sales were 900 bales on the spot and 90 to arrive.
 Futures opened dull , to points below the close yesterday. Without Liverpool as a factor, a holiday being observed in the English market today, the weather exerted the greatest influence during the early session. Reports of only light scat tered showers were received and the map being on the whole very favorable had a depressing influence. Predictions for the next 24 hours were not so favorable and on the possibility of damaging weather some improvement was shown before the close which was steady with the October and December options to 3 points down, respectively.

Currency Action
is Necessary.

A little story may be trite and
yet so apt that it must continue
to be familiar part of common
argument. The man who said
he could not fix his roof when it
rained and that it needed no re-
pairs in dry weather is recalled
by some of the arguments now
heard about currency legislation.
DO nothing" is one form of
advice offered, for money is
abundant" There seemed to
be plenty of money last fall, but
it vanished from sight and ac-
feasibility in a day. A cry was
heard for an immediate extra
session of Congress to provide
for more currency in a crisis,
but it was wisely decided to wait
for the regular session, which
was but a few weeks distant.
Congress met nearly two months
ago and took up the currency
question, yet influences are at
work to prevent any action, on
the ground that there is money
enough.
The Republicans are in control
in Congress and must bear the
responsibility of the currency
situation. If Congress should
adjourn without doing anything,
a combine would be formed at
once to reproduce the situation
of last October. Money would
be cornered and boarded, not
only to send it to a premium,
but to discredit the party in the
midst of a presidential campaign.
Such congressional fizzle would
