Hubbard Bros. X Co.'s Letter

New York. December 16.-(special)--A small market with a few more Januarys being sold against cotton coming here for delivery; some realizing from long interests before the ginners' estimate on Tuesday, and a lack of aggressive sup port in face of the large movement, re- suited in a moderate decline of 3 to roints. The larger operators remain very bullish in their views, looking for a sharp advance on the expected decrease in the Indian crop and the falling off in the American crop, which is expected to appear by the new year. Many con fiicting advices come from Liverpool re- garding the Indian crop, which are be- lieved' to result from a confusion of off cial estimates, which arc compiled in s different manner from ours. the govern ment making allowance In It's final esti- mate for the amount of cotton consumed in the home looms of India.
