perceptble on some other industrial se- curities of doubtful value
 The small deterioration shown by corn during August makes the percentage fig ure comparatively better with the 1O-year average than the August 1 showing and raises the estimates on the crop accord ingly. The good weather of the past week comes into the reckoning, also, to increase the promisse of 100000 000- bushel yield. The betterment in spring wheat percentage operates correspondingly to restore the indication of the crop of that cereal. The showing was received listlessly by the stock market.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York September S.-tSpecial.)tCa ~ Ca- bles this morning were disappointing and our market met heavy liquidating or ders at the start, which brought a quick decline to near yesterdays low level. The local trade sold freely on this initial break, and their covering steadied the market later. The undertone, however. remained uneasy. and there Is a steady stream of southern hedge selling, which is likely to increase as the Texas sltua- ton is not such as to permit much hold ing by the interior banks We are dis appointed at the poor rally from the pre- ceding low figures. but 1t would appear that the spinner has bought all he in tends to on the 13c basis. We expect that without bad weather prices will work slowly lower.
