Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 2S.-(Special)- Reports from Liverpool and Manchester were good and the opening here was steady at a slight decline which was quickly recovered with the usual ante Thanksgiving strength following. The estimate of the members of the exchange is 11,927, ,000 bales, and the local trade Is becoming bullish under the Influence of the continued small or short crop talk and any decline is quickly recovered. Later In the day came rumor that Neill was reducing his estimate. The outside speculative interest iS gradually being attracted to the market, which apparent lv has inducement for buyers and is watching developments. Southern spot centers show generally improved prices as might be expected. The attitude of the mills is a matter of importance and a government report of possibly 11,20o.0oc bales Is commented upon. The recent ginners' report has made one sided market and sellers are feeling very nerv
 ous The question of how much the present price discounts the crop esti- mate of 1l,7000,000 Is ignored for the mo ment while the bull fever dominates.

SLIGHT ADVANCE IS
 SCORED IN WHEAT
Smaller Estimates on Argentine
 Crop Aid Prices
TRADERS ARE ACTIVE
Corn Rises Sharply on Rumors That French Duty on Corn will Be Suspended-Oats Close Higher
 and Provisions Lower

Chicago, November 23.-Dwindling esti- mates of the Argentine exportable sur plus gave the wheat market chance to advance today. Fully 100000 acres were said to be seriously impaired, large pro- portion lost beyond recovery. In conse- quence the close here was the same as last night to A0c higher. Corn, too, fin- ished 14Qssc up, and oats likewise 1sc to AQAc. In provisions last quotations were unchanged to 71Ac lower.
 There was large trade in wheat At the opening sentiment was quite bearish on reports that rain threatened to break the drought in south Argentina. Later cables gave a different showing and lift ed values to the high point reached a week ago. A well-known authority went on record with the lowest estimate that has yet been issued as to the probable export surplus in Argentina, s2,O0O,OOO bushels. In view of the holiday tomof- row shorts became especially uneasy and covered on large scale. Further ground for fear was the fact that numerous com plaints were coming in about dry weather In the winter wheat belt south west, particularly Kansas and Oklahoma. The tension was somewhat relieved by leading longs selling at times and caus- ing some reactions from top figures. In this way the close was easy, with May up Aq9sc at s55sc, after ranging from 969sc to SIC.
 After a period of depression due to weather conditions and talk of probable increased receipts, the corn market rose sharply, following rumors that the French import duty of 147c per bushel would be suspended. May f1uctuated between 46Aq 4714c, closing asc higher, but easy at 46A@47c.
 In the cash trade the feeling was firm for new corn, but less steady for old, large consumers having gone over to the fresh sort. No. yellow finished at 51H Q51%c.
 Extensive covering by Nnorts was the rule in the oats pit. There was also &C., tive changing on the part of the elevator interests buying and selling May. The latter month sold from 33szc to 341sc, and closed 1s6Ao net higher at 344341sc.
 Free offerings of November lard by packers some selling of the January product by a western manufacturer eased the provision market little. At the end of the day pork was down 275Q5c; lard was unchanged to 71ac lower, and ribs were off 5c to 715c.

FURTHER ADVANCES ARE MADE IN COTTON New High Records for the Movement Are Reached REALIZING IS HEAVY Opening Figures Are Higher, But Decline Slightly After While
 Reaction Sends the
 Market Up
 
REALIZING IS HEAVY

New York, November 23.-New high prices for the movement were made in the cotton market today on buying by strong interests who are said to have been converted to small crop views by the recent census figures and covering by shorts. There was a good deal of realizing for over the holiday tomorrow, but the offerings made very little im- pression on prices and while the final tone was barely steady. last prices were at practically the best, showing a net gain of to Il points and right after the close private sales were reported at the highest prices of the day.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points on December. but gem orally to 4 points lower and during the first Sew minutes fell off to a net loss Of to points, under scattering liquida- ton and local bear pressure, inspired by heavy realizing before the holiday and the rather indifferent showing of the Liverpool market
 The market soon rallied, however, on renewal of the bull support spot in- terests did not seem to be selling as much cotton as they did yesterday there was talk of steadier spot markets and No PAiCSS WOihSu SOInb OI the earlier shorts turned to cover. There was some irregularity after May had sold above 15 cents, but all offerings were well absorbed, suggesting the pres ence of strong buying power confident of bullish government estimate early next month and May cotton sold at 15 loo just before the close and closed at 15.OSc bid.
 The annual crop estimates of the New York cotton exchange members was pub lished before the opening; the lowest of the ITO individual estimates being 10 O650,- 900 bales and the highest 100000, with the average n,927OOO bales. the figures having no apparent influence on the day s trading. Southern spot markets as off, cially reported early were 1-16c to 8-16c higher. The American markets will be closed tomorrow but Liverpool will re- main open as usual
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today 61,S2s bales, against 75,562 last week, So 116 last year. For the week 375,000 bales, against 414,S23 last week and 209,576 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans 1S,133 bales, against 9294 last year.

DU[LNESS PREVAILS
 IN STOCK MARKET
Anticipation of Thanksgiving
 Day Is the Cause
SMALL GAINS ARE MADE
Mexican Disorders Absorb Interest of the Market and Keep Down General Activity in
 Most Stocks

New York, November 23.-Tendency to- ward dullness in the dealings in stocks became pronounced today on account of Thanksgiving Day. The market at times was stagnant and the volume of trans actions and the range of price fiuctua- lions was unimportant at all times. The small net gains about equalled yester- days decline
 The Mexican disorders received a good deal of attention, and had direct bear Ing on financial affairs in the United States. The most pronounced effect of the news was seen In the early decline In the price of American Smelling amongst whose assets are some Ameri- can properties. The United States of Mexico 4 per cent bonds sold down to 921h, although previous to this week they had not sold lower than 94A. Today's sales were only 10000 par value Yes terday 5000 were sold at 9S1s and 5000 at e3 The only sale of this. bond in De- tober was one transaction for 1000. The National Railways of Mexico securities were slightly depressed but the market for them was almost as nominal as for the government bonds. Last nights din- ner of the railway association supplied topics for discussion, but its effect had been anticipated for reason of the circu- lation of advance copies of the principal addresses.
 The views of the states of the inter- state commerce commission for treat ment of railroads so far as to maintain their existence were sufficiently known to deprive his address of startling nov city. His stress upon the claims of labor for a share In any rate advance pre- scented a phase of the subject which com plicates it's advantages from the rail- road standpoint. Rumors of a renewal of labor disputes amongst express com panies employees also directed attention to that subject. Money conditions showed little change. The ruling rate for call loans receded again, and little demand was shown either for call or time loans on eollaeral at the Stock exchange The market for mercantile paper was report ed to show more disposition to take on choice grades. In spite of the easing tendency of the private discount rates in London today 1t was reported that bank CTS finance bills are being placed abroad In the process of borrowing of New York account. The foreign exchange market showed no trace of such bills; rates ad- vancing in the early part of the day. London's reported dread of gold exports in face of this showing proved perplex- ing.
 A few specialties were marked up cas- fly apparently by pools, but other inac- tive stocks made wide declines on single sales.
 Bonds were irregular; total sales, par value, S1613,000.

BUILDING FALLS
 AND KILLS FOUR

Cleveland November 23.-The wife of Samuel Frutkin, tailor, his two small children and a servant were crushed to death tonight by the collapse of new concrete building at Lorain avenue and West Thrtleth street. An explosion of unknown origin is believed to have caused the disaster.
 A baby, youngest of the Frutkin chill dren, was saved by the strength of a bureau under which it had rolled and which supported weight of many tons until rescuers found the little one un- harmed.
 F'rutkin was severely injured His two apprentices and woman and a child escaped at the first warning sound.
 Frutkin's little tailor shop stood next to the concrete structure. He was at work in the front room, while Mrs Frutkin, with the children, were asleep in a bed in the room.
 The new building, which was destroyed, had not yet been occupied. Herman Bolen, superintendent of construction of the building, was passing when the col lapse occurred. He said that he saw a bindng flash of light-3ust before the crash came and the sound that followed was unmistakably that of an explosion
 Furniture which was stored in a com pleted portion of the building was found a block away. The two watchmen in the place left immediately before the accident.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, November 23.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 3 to points on disappointing cables and continued favorable weather in the cotton belt First prices were the lowest in the early trading as leading bulls stepped to the ring and bid for large amounts of contracts. chiefly the later months, and the market immediately did better Bull fish operators said that the buying was based on continued good reports from Manchester. reports from the cotton belt that ginneries were running very shori time and growing belief that the coming government estimate of the crop will be low Activity was lessened by the fact that tomorrow is holiday in the Amer ican markets. At the end of the first half hour of trading the active months were 1 to points over yesterdays close.
