Hubbard Bros. G Co.'s Letter.

New York, April 6-(Special.)-As the Easter holidays approach the trade looks for a reaction from the sharp advance of the past week. This tendency was shown in Liverpool before our opening, but that market quickly recovered and closed at the best prices of the day. Our market at that moment was advancing, but the fact that Liverpool closed strong was enough to bring many orders to take profits as 1t is an axiom in the trade that lower prices follow any such closing tone to that market A series of thunder showers caused rain last night between Fort Worth and Weatherford, while the rest of Texas had no rain and the low barometer appears to-be passing off to- ward Arkansas. The lower closing causes the trade to look for a decline of ? points in Liverpool.

New York, April 6.-Today's cotton mar ket made new high records for the sea- son, but the new crop positions showed considerable nervousness with fiuctua- tions irregular and the close barely steady at net decline of ? to points.
 The market opened barely steady at un- changed prices to decline of points ire response to disappointing cables and sold off to a net loss of to points during the early session, with near months relatively easy under spot house offerings, realizing and local selling for turn. This pres sure was probably promoted by talk of rain in Texas and bearish private ad- vices from Liverpool, which claimed that Manchester was not following the ad- vance but foreign houses were buying here. Late cables were firmer, some of the most prominent lo\l brokers support ing the market. The western belt fore cast was for clear weather in Texas, and official weather maps showed no import ant precipitation in the southwest, conse- quently during the middle session prices advanced sharply with early sellers cover ing. July sold up to s.S6c and October to 9.67c, or about to points net higher.

Washington, April 6.-The gratifying information was conveyed to Secretary Knox today that the Nicara guan gov ernment would make an early effort to settle, either by compromise or by ar bitration, the claim for damages of the G. D. Emery company. whose conces sion for cutting mahogany was can celled about two years and half ago. for an alleged violation of the terms of the concession.
 Through MT. Bspinosa, the Nicaragu- an minister. the secretary was told that special commissioner would leave the Central American country immediately for this city. carrying full instructions for the minister. which would em- power him to reach a settlement where by the whole controversy would be ad- justed. If a compromise is not reached the minister will sign a protocol. sub mitting the case to arbitration.
 Diplomacy had well nigh exhausted itself in the efforts to reach a settle ment of this case and the temper of the state-department was such that longer delay was becoming intolerable. The last communication from Secretary Knox to the Nicafagu minister was in the nature of an ultimatum in which the state depa rtment submitted a pro- tocol for the arbitration of the case, to be signed by the minister at the earl fest hour practicable with his instruc- tions. Several weeks have dragged along, the minister In the meantime be- ing furnished with a statement show ing the exact amount of damages claimed by the company, the intimation being conveyed that the Nicaraguan with the claimants. This was sent to President zelaya a week ago, and the fact that nothing had been heard from him in the meantime was regarded un- favorably. Happily the fear of break in the relations between the two gov ernments has been dissipated by the re- ceipt of today's information, indicating disposition on the part of Zelaya to settle
 There is a disposition in some unof- fcial quarters to question the sincerity of President Zelaya's latest move, the argument being made that it merely constitutes a play for time, and more delay in the final settlement of the issues involved. At the state depart ment, however, satisfaction Is expressed over the outcome and the hope for a prompt settlement is expressed.

given of the spring condition of the winter wheat crop. With wheat and cotton both at top prices of the sea- son and with rumors not lacking of crop damage to account for this, the stock market Is compelled to take some notice of the subject.
 The conference on Thursday between the anthracite operators and miners representatives Is expected to have decisive effect on the immediate fu- ture of trade activity in that field. Beyond the coming three days holiday looms up possible supreme court de- eision on Monday in the commodities clause test case. The stock market has demonstrated It's sensitiveness to this topic too often for 1t to be ig- nored. The opening arguments in tho governments suit against the stan dard Oil company at St. Louis con- tained some material for apprising any change in governmental policy in these prosecutions of corporations which might have resulted from the change in administration. Nothing was offered, however to foreshadow any great len iency, such as has been assumed in the discussion of prospects from the financial standpoint. The matter was commented upon in connection with the days stock market.
 Some very unfavorable views of the stel trade position was heard and the heavy tone of United States Steel was of sympathetic effect on the whole mar ket. The realizing movement was un- der control and was facilitated by the sustaining effect of strength In spe- cial stocks, without any special legis- lation in the news The covering or shorts effected considerable rally at the end of the day.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $5,322,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
