Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April 16.-(Special. All
though Liverpool was Arm, 1t was not as
good as should have been to maintain the
advance here of yesterday. At the OPEN
ing it was thought that the selling of
May indicated desire on the part of
the bulls to present an advance at the
moment, which might attract more cotton
hero for delivery, Rurnors are current
that many of the leading spinners OF
the south Atlantic states are interested
in the scheme to corner May, with the
idea that the maintenance of prices will
bring about a demand for cotton goods
There seems to be more or less founda-
ton for this rumor. severe storm in
Mississippi Is expected to bring rain to
the Atlantic states tomorrow.
