Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, December 17.-(Special J. A rumor was current today that the National Ginners' report would show some 530,0o0 bales, ginned during the last pe- riod, and this brought about a decline of some 10 points, which was recovered on the buying by the leading operators, who have been such heavy buyers during the last week. The insight figures for the week are bullish, as expected, and the liquidation of outside long cotton was not as heavy asc of late. A better Liver pool is expected tomorrow after the sharp decline of today. We expect rather quiet CT markets of a holiday character until after the turn of the year, then one can judge of the action of the spinners wheth- CT they will be free buyers or whether the curtailment will continue.
