Hubbard Bros. 6. Co.'S Letter.

New York, January 25.-(Special.) )-Real- izing by the western and Wall street holders taking profits continued today until the weight of these sales broke the market some IA points, when it eased for the moment It is noticeable that when these parties take profits they do not buy again in the same positions which they sell. but they pass over on the new crop. Their theory appears to be that as all the cotton In the world costs money to carry that when they replace their sales from time to time they will buy a cheaper position. In the meantime the cotton trade has bought the old crop which the outsiders have sold expecting spinners to buy from them. The market closed steady at a slight reaction from the lowest point which is expected to cause a rally in Liverpool tomorrow from one to two points. What surprised the trade was the increase in the movement.
