Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York. January Especial 2In
face of a remarkable decline in Liver
pool our market opened fairly steady
at decline, but with Indications of
better buying than yesterday. The
best feature of the day was the buy
ing by spinners brokers against calling
by spinners, which assisted this mar
ket to absorb the heavy liquidation for
New Orleans, where the decline was
greater than here. In the afternoon
the largest houses became buyers, fol-
lowed by the bull leaders, the market
closed steady at about the best. 1t
was reported that the Chicago ol'era-
tors who sold so heavily yesterday
bought back a large portion OF their
sales today. The bulls point 10 The
small ginners' report as evidence of
the strength of their position and eN-
pect still higher prices-the decline
they believe came from the liquidation
of a weak long interest. which was a
source of danger 1t now again is a
question whether the spinner Will
come in on an adavnce or whether
speculation will revive on this level
of prices as it did during December.

Chicago, January 6.-Grain prices adj
vanced all along the line here today. May
wheat and all corn futures establish
ing new records for the crop. Provisions
generally showed a healthy advance re-
sponsive to continued scarcity OF live
hogs.
Wheat was nervous throughout the ses-
sion and ranged from CSC below to isc
above yesterdays closing figures. For
egn cables telling of advanced prices in
Liverpool added strength. A sharp rise
here in corn helped to stiffen the wheat
market.
Heavy sales of wheat early were rap
idly assimilated and rush of shorts
to the pit made the closing hour busy
May touched $1.147s, the record price for
the crop, and receded only a trifle, the
final quotation for the day being 81 49,
q1.14ss, which was %@1c higher than
yesterdays close. The more distant flu
lures showed corresponding strength.
The corn market was excited and bull
ish sentiment reached fever heat, adj
vancing prices lac from the low point
The intense cold barring speedy ship
ments and necessitating heavy feeding
together with an increased interest de-
mand, was the underlying cause of the
strong market
Large sales early produced no appar-
ent effect in lowering prices. Subsequent
bullish movements advanced prices I'M
til record crop figures were touched in
each month, May resting at 6Ss4c and
the more distant futures at GID. A slight
decline from the high point left the
close for May at $3.50 gain OF JIG
over yesterday. The other months re-
coded slightly at the finish.
The oats market, while not so spec
tacular as the corn pit, showed con-
sstent strength today. Large cash trades
and the strength of other grain contrib
uted to an advance. The range was
ss@1c in the several futures. the mar
ket steadily gaining until shortly before
the close. May closed at 47sM4sc, a gain
of %@5sc over yesterdays final figures.
Abnormal receipts of live hogs for days
at the packing centers was reflected
in advanced prices for provisions. At

of the old bulls.
The National Ginners' report pointing
TO a total ginning for the season of less
than 100000 bales, an advance of lsc
in the price bid for print cloths at Fall
River and numerous reports from the
south claiming that the interior was
not following the decline in futures, en-
couraged the advance, while there were
also bullish reports concerning the attl-
tude of market leaders Wires from Mr..
Patten for instance were circulated to
the effect that he was buying back cot
