Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 25-(Special)-Our
market opened with sales or october at
ID Sic, 69-61 and after selling at ID. Gle, As,
ruled at Is. sac ! p. m. Although the
storm in the gulf has not brought rain
in Texas the market has had a sagging
tendency From the other sections of the
cotton belt the prospects continue favor
able, so the attention OF the trade is CEN
tered on Texas The central portion of
that state has suffered severely during the
past so days. which has reduced the
prospects for a large yield. Should rain
come with this change in temperature the
trade would expect to see moderate
decline, but we hear no disposition to
look for more than a moderate crop.

Dry Goods

New York, August 25-There was steady
demand for cotton goods noted in the
primary market during the day. Buyers
paid the price asked by mill agents with
out bubble, but confined their purchases
almost entirely to goods for prompt de-
livery. The jobbers did a good business
in cotton goods, but the size of individual
orders continued rather small. Shifting
sale ends are moving freely. Low count
goods have the call and converts are
selling at close figures. The market on
finished cotton goods very firm.

HOW SHE KNEW A NEW YORKER

An Easterner just Couldn't Tell How
"A Western Woman "Guessed'' 1T.
1t was New Years eve and no ex-
traordinary gift of telepathy or intui-
tion was required to guess that he
was signing for Rector's, Martins or
the Cafe de FOpera. Give him half a
chance and he'd confide that there
was no place like Broadway on a
night like this. Yet here he was, far
from the luminous lane, condemned
by fate to be taking a train out of
Kansas City for Denver, and while
the jewellers of the Rialto were hurry
ing into their evening clothes for the
annual carnival he boarded a sleeping
car and threw his luggage into the
section which he had reserved. 1t
happened, however, to be already oc-
cupied by Kansas City girl who was
going out of town for a New Years
house party, the Times of that city
says. When he of the Yiddish cast of
countenance, the ostentatiously silk
lined top-coat, the snowy little finger
ring, the eXuberant hand luggage, and
the unmistakable air of proprietorship
appeared, the interloper murmured an
apologetic explanation that she was
only a local passenger getting off at
the second stop and started to find
another seat. But he politely insisted
upon her remaining and to make her
feel welcome launched into the usual
formula of questions as to her desti-
nation and place of residence, with
which every chance travelling ac-
quaintance opens.
The conversation might just as well
have stopped there, as far as she was
concerned, but it was not to be.
This is an unusual New Years eve
for me-" he went on. II certainly
would like to be at home tonight"
"Oh, yes!" she returned pleasantly. !
New York will, of course, be very
gay"
He stared at her in astonishment. |
"Why, how did you know l was
from New York;" he demanded.
She hated to tell him all the rea-
sons, so she merely laughed and ask
ed, who Wouldn't" leaving him to
the inevitable conclusion that there is
something individual and differentiat-
ed about the New Yorker which even
an unsophisticated Kansas City girl
instinctively recognizes. And she said
not a word about the Hebraic physiog-
nomy, the ostentatious silk lining, the
conspicuous little finger ring, the ex-
uberant luggage or the typically pro-
prietary manner which betrayed him
as one of those favored of the gods
who know their Broadway as you
know your back yard.
