Hubbard Bros. $ Co.'S Letter

New York. August 31.-(Special)-At the close of August there appeared few thousand bales from spinners, which sup piled the demand at around 1Sc, with a last 100 bales offered for delivery just too late at 17c. However, that is now past, and whether the longs all held together or not is simply matter of idle curios- ity. Spot markets in Texas were again
 easier, September being hold against ship ments from that state which caused a
 weaker undertone, though Texas is still without rain
 As we look at the situation it has passed under the control of the south, who may
 or may not decide to accept present prices for the cotton coming In. Speculation Is improved with the outlook in the other
 states and does not buy, while the longs are largely interested in the spots they have on hand
 | Tn Liverpool about 2S,0O0 bales were ten-
 dered for delivery on September to the surprise of every one, naturally depress- ing the near position on the competition with the offers from the south. Under these influences the market has been heavy all day though the trade expects a reaction before the bureau report.

the composing room of The Call. has
gathered a mass of valuable data re-
garding the county, which, apart from
its interest to prospective investors and
those who live in the county, is of ex-

POLITICS BEHIND
Governor Elect Will Go Hunting
and Later Take Sea Voyage
or Eastern Trip

Governor elect Hiram W. Johnson
will leave politics behind him today for
the first time in several months, and
for the next few days. will be out Of
the reach OF friends and far away from
postof1ices, telegraph lines and tele-
phones. He will leave early this morn
ing for Sacramento. and with few
companions viii spend two or three
days duck shooting in the marshes OF
Sonoma county.
Johnson expects to return to this city
next Tuesday and will then decide
finally as to where he will go for the
rest which he intends to take during
the next, few weeks. He expects either
to spend several weeks in the noun
tains or omake short sea voya ge or
a trip east in order to secure a COM
plete change and relaxation before the
time for his inauguration.
Since Tuesday the governor elect has
given his time almost exclusively to
studying the returns from the election
and to answering the thousands Of let
ters and kilograms Of congratulation
which he has received. He said yester-
day that he had given no time to
thought of his future plans and was
not in a position to make any declara :
ton a S to what official acts he would
first undertake upon assuming office.
The strain of the last eight months
Of campaigning has been a severe one
upon Johnson. and he feels that he
should not undertake any official duties
nor give any time to matters of politi-
cal discussion until after his vacation.
Any announcements as to politics to
be pursued in executive and legislative
matters, or as appointments 10 be
made. Will be withheld until after his
return.
