Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, January 23.-(Special.)- After the ginners' report was published heavy selling by holders set in. which was especially marked in this crop. This selling by those who bought at low prices continued all day, supplying the demand from the new buyers. Int ginners' report gives the amount ginned for the period as 202,2 bales and the total amount gfnned Is now 2,330,00O more than at the same time last sea- son. Early European advices were dis- appointing, but firm, and closed at a sharp advance on the report of a fire in Galveston. During the past week a very large amount of cotton has passed from holders at low prices into the hands of new buyers at the highest point of the season. Will the spinners follow the advance and absorb this cot ton at still higher prices?

New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 23.-Spot cotton firm unchanged. Midding, 9ssc Sales on the spot, 325 bales; to arrive, 1000 bales.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of to points on good Liverpool cables. After the opening the advance was con tinued as the result of the bullishness of the census bureau report on cotton ginned up to January 16. The most conservative bulls had predictions fulfilled and prices stood at a net advance of 12 to IA points. Profit-taking by longs became very free at the advance and the gains established were gradually lost, the market closing steady at the lowest of the day with prices unchanged to 1 point lower than yesterdays closing.
 Total sales were 9101 bales, against 9S2; the preceding week and $500 last year

Camel and Campbell,

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 An Irishman and a Scotchman were discussing the horrors of living in a prohibition state. when the Irishman re- marked:
 Sure, an you might get used to it after a while. Ye know they say a camel can go eight days without drnkin'."
 '.Hoot mon!" retorted the other it S little ye know about the Campbels when ye say that. There is na one O them could go eight hours wfout drap of something!"
 Which ended the discussion.

Following publication of the cotton report there was large demand made by commission houses for the com modity. This was offset by realizing sales.
 Public trading in cotton is gradually reviving as feeling in the south changes in regard to option trading. It is un- derstood that the very men who fought option trading are now trying to en- courage it's revival.

The relative gain in the imports from
