Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. February 16.-(Special.)-Th
market opened with an easier feeling and
very little support was given during the
day. Somewhat more promising weather
in Texas. with reports of freer offerings
of spot cotton throughout the south
quenched any desire to buy for an adj
vance quite effectively. and a pressure TO
sell has been the main feature. Stop or
ders on the decline brought more cotton
on the market and the tendency has been
steadily toward lower prices.
