Hubbard Bros. G Co.'s Letter.

New York, April (Specisl.) )- Persistent buying during the early forenoon offset the declining tendency which the lower Liverpool had caused at the opening. Offerings were then free, but the determined bidding stim- ulated prices and the market was In receptive mood for bullish advices, when a professional crop estimator gave per cent reduction on acreage as the probab result of the seasons planting. This flilp to prices advanced them for the time being-no other special cause being apparent-as-=one guess at this period Is as good as an other in influencing sentiment. It Is too early to kill the crop or to make 1t. Some prophet must be right. but he is not certain now Trading was local and narrow; thet result at mid day leaves the market steady at the advance, with limited offerings and moderate demand
 The market was fairly well sustained during the afternoon with trading local and few outside buyers. Notice to- morrow for May deliveries is awaited with interest, as the liquidation of that position has been general.

CLOSE IS ALMOST AT TOP

Chicago, April 29.-Additional delay to seeding in the northwest, owing to con tinued unfavorable weather, caused fur ther advance in wheat prices today, clos ing quotations showing net gains of 1ssQD 116c to 17sc. Corn and oats closed mod erately firm and provisions weak.
 The wheat market was strong all day and at one time the July delivery was up 2ssc from the low point of the day, while other deliveries showed almost equally as sharp on advances. The bulge, however, induced liberal realizing, which resulted in a break of about 1c from the best mark of the session. heavy snowfall in the Canadian northwest and snow or rain throughout Minnesota and the Daxo- tas was the chief factor in the situation. Reports from Minneapolis claimed that seeding has already been delayed more than week, and that 1t will be fully an- other seven days before farm work can be resumed generally in the spring wheat An improved demand for spring wheat for shipment to the east from Duluth and revival in flour business at the north western markets prompted additional buy ing of wheat here. The loss of a large quantity of wheat in the destruction by fire of 1ocal elevator had a slight bullish influence at the start. The trade was in- clined to ignore the bearish reports ema IT. ating from the southwest, where wealth CT conditions were decidedly favorable for the growing crop.
 During the day the July delivery ranged between $1.09A and 1.121s, and closed at H.1119. September sold between $1 .01B and $l .041s, and closed at $1 .0S1a
 The wet weather and the bulge in wheat had a strengthening effect on the corn market throughout the day, but the edge was taken off bullish sentiment during the last half of the session by the selling of distant deliveries by traders, who were supposed to be discounting the effect of probable increase In receipts folio owing the completion of spring work on farms.
 May sold between 70$4e and 71&c. The close was firm, with prices unchanged to 1sqAc higher, with May at 71@71sc
 Cold weather in the west and northwest inspired considerable buying of oats, and the market was firm all day although sentiment was a little less bullish late in the session on selling based partly on favorable crop reports from southern H. linois. At the close prices were un- changed to 14c higher compared with the previous final quotations. May ranged between 56iso and 563sc, and closed at the low figures.
 Trade in provisions was extremely quiet, the bulk of business consisting of chang ing from May to more deferred futures Sentiment was bearish and at the close prices were Dc to 121ac lower than the previous close. ---,4---s

SEVERAL STOCKS STEADY

New York. April 29.-The overfiowing speculative confidence which made itself so strongly felt in the stock market yes- terday sensibly subsided today. The movement of prices was halting and ir- regular and the demand showed no dis position to follow prices upward. The efforts of yesterdays buyers to realize their profits found so inconsiderable a demand that prices gave way before the attempt The cessation of the important selling when the decline in prices had gone but a little way led to an inference of strong undertone for the market but this manifestation stopped at a negative impression The profit taking was con ducted with skill and care, the market be- ing sustained by advances at new points. The causes for the halt in the upward movement lay for the most part within the speculative opinions of the habitual operators of strong class whose trans actions are making much in the current trading.
 The difficulty of distributing stocks at the level to which prices have attained and the belief that favorable factors in the situation have been fairly discounted induced caution on the part of these op- orators. The improvement in the steel trade was no change from the conviction that evidences of a hardening of prices of steel products is the most important index of improvement in progress in the trade situation that has offered itself for a5ta nf tba improvement in prices was not so pro- nounced, according to later reports as in the earlier versions of the situation cur rent yesterday.
 An abandonment of the policy of in- discriminate price cutting on the part if principal steel interests was given as the true condition rather than a more pos itive movement to lift prices. At the same time 1t was pointed out that the prices of steel products were cut while the preferred stock was selling at the highest price on record. The rise in Union Pacific and Reading had proceeded also to within a fraction of the highest point touched this year. These facts and the heavy tone developed by the principal trading stocks gave rise to the impress sion that the good features of the situa- ton had had their due effect on stocks
 The heavy tone of the market was part lv corrected for a time by the aggressive movement upward in Reading but the lack of sequence to this movement left the former impression stronger than be- fore. point of positive strength of considerable sympathetic effect in the early dealings was found in the South

RAPID ADVANCE IS MADE

New York, April 99.-Todays cotton market more than recovered yesterday S loss with buying more general than for some days past, and the close steady at a net advance of Il to IT points. The market opened steady at a decline of point to an advance of points and at first showed some activity with scattering liquidation and local bear pressure. Ca bles were fully as good as due, how ever, bull support particularly of October seeming to be a little more aggressive, and prices soon rallied.
 Trading during the middle session was rather quiet, but the market showed a steady undertone with .pew crop posi- tions relatively firm on buying by leading bull interests, and after the publication of a private crop report, suggesting a decrease of per cent in acreage and unfavorable conditions for an early start, the market became more active and ad- vanced sharply. The close was within & point of two of the top.
 Wall street and Chicago houses figured as buyers here during the day, and while there seemed to be great deal of Oc- loper TOT sdle udloer lOzoc, oHerlngS were well absorbed. Southern spot markets officially reported were 1 1-16c lower to 1sc higher. Very little further rain was reported in the southwest, but mail ad- vices being now received from sections of Texas indicate an improvement in crop prospects.
 Tomorrow will be the first May notice day In the local market, but it Is said notices will not be circulated for more than 10000 bales.
