Huhhard Bros. & Cos Letter.

New York, December 7.-(Special. ALI
the markets displayed much quieter
tone today, with the trade disposed to
have as little interest over the bureau
report as possible.
For several seasons this course has been
pursued on these occasions. as the sharp
fluctuations in the past, on the publication
of crop estimate, have at times brought
severe losses to many, so that the trade
prefers to await developments. In Liver
pool the better demand from spinners con-
tinues, with rather better tone, while
here, the market being long, a slight re-
cession occurred. Almost every one ex-
poets bulish ginners report tomorrow
and a small crop estimate on Friday.

Futures opened steady. unchanged to
9 points up. Cables were slightly better
than expected. but the local market was
rather heavy around the opening on the
filling of liquidating orders from longs.
This selling out caused a decline OF 4
points In the. early hours, but during the
greater part OF the day prices we're slight
ly above yesterdays closing, The range
was very narrow, only to s points on
the more active months. What steadi-
ness the market had was derived from

spot demand was decidedly better. Longs
connected with spot firms were inclined
TO increase their lines because of very
bulish news from the Egyptian cotton
erop. The CLOSING was steady. . points

The West Philadelphia woman who
was the envy of her neighbors last
summer by virtue of her vegetable gar
den in her small back yard, which kept
her table well supplied for a month,
has again stepped into the llmelight.
This clever woman has succeeded In
raising several kinds of vegetables in
flower pots and boxes Of earth inside
her house.
Already she has raised several stalks
Of asparagus from roots, and her fam
lily Is enjoying the luxury of green as
paragus, while their friends and neigh
bors are eating canned goods. Radish-
es, too, have grown indoors for this
amateur trucker, and now, made ambi-
tious by her successes, this woman is
going to plant some lima beans and
peas.
The care of her indoor vegetable
garden is not wearing, for the West
Philadelphia woman, to gain time, has
simply cut down her usual list Of pot
