Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 23.-tSpecial.)-Re- ports of improved demand came from Manchester, about the only sources Of good news. Trade here continues slow and speculation is dormant. Narrow are the rule of the market, with sellers on any small advance and buy CTS on every decline. The government figures tomorrow, giving distribution of old crop as to consumption and stocks held etc, are of moderate interest and effect only.
 Texas reports more rain and ample moisture for some time is believed to have fallen there, as elsewhere.
 The prospect is for limited and local business, with narrow fluctuations, till some new influence Is apparent, with trade favoring lower prices should the market improve.
