Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, October 2.-(Special.)-- European markets were again lower than due to our surprise, as we ex- pected that all of the foreign and do-
 nestle markets would show the pres-
 enee of enough buying orders on the
 basis of Saturday to resist the decline. Our market did show good demand from spinners' brokers and others in
 face of the large ginners and the small
 decrease in condition to I'll as given
 by the government until well along in
 the afternoon. Then the hedge selling
 from the south became so heavy as to
 alarm many of the buyers of the past
 few days, who in their effort to dis
 pose of their purchases caused d break of another 10 or 12 points and the
 close was at the low point of the day.
 Liverpool should be 6 points lower tomorrow. The first effect of the war in the Mediterranean Is to render navi- gation difficult by the closing of the lighthouses on the Turkish coast and the islands. This checks the movement of all merchandise by sea. We think England in unduly alarmed and eX- | pect that the question will be settled 1 by the powers.
 The bureau confirms the large crop ideas.

NEW LOW RECORDS
 IN COTTON MARKET
Government Reports Meet Bearish Expectations
 and Prices Drop

New York, October 1.-Two government reports were issued in the cotton market, both of which met bearish expectations and prices made new low records with fall and winter months selling below 10 cents for the first time in over two years. The close was barely steady and last prices showed net loss Of from IS to 25 points.
 The census report which was issued be- fore the opening made the ginning to September 20, 3,663066 bales or more than 1,000,000 bales above any previous record, while the condition figures as published by making the percentage Ill against 7S.2 last month, e5.9 last year, 69.7 in the big crop year of 1908 and 66.5 the 10 years ay- craze.
 No further condition reports will be is- sued this season and the next report from the department of agriculture will be the annual estimate of the crop early in December. The next ginning report will give the amount of cotton ginned 10 October IS and will be published octo- Der 9.
 The market opened easy at a decline of to 15 points in response to the liz ginning figures, weak Liverpool cables and southern selling orders. There was considerable trade buying and active cov- ering by shorts on the decline and prices rallied some 10 to 15 points from the low est on active months during the middle of the morning. Reactions occurred when the condition figures were issued and lower when the government report was received. No excitement developed but there was liquidation by recent buyers and sellers showing increased confidence after the crop figures were out of the way and the market reached the lowest levels of the day in the late trading when October sold at 9.87d December at s.97d and January at 9.S7d and the gen. eral list showed net loss of from 19 to 24 points. The close was at practically the lowest but December which was re- latively steady all day, closed a couple Of points up from the bottom. The condition figures, in connection with the good weather recently appeared to revive the larger estimates of the crop but the con- tinued southern selling and reports of a weak spot situation were, perhaps, the chief depressing factor
 Receipts today, 104.212 bales against SS,- S1f last week and 62,1S7 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 1648 bales against 26S4 last year and at Houston, 35, = JOS bales aganst ,766 last year.

BLOW TO
 HOBBLE SKIRTS

Chicago, October 2.-Highs heeled shoes and hobbie skirts have received another blow in Chicago. Following the Pennsylvania railroads discovery with moderate dictates of fashion were the cause of nearly 100 acci- dents to women while boarding or leaving trains or using station stair ways during the last year, orders have been given to bar women meeting trains at the Chicago terminal from passing the gates.
 When a union station caller an- nounces the arrival of train, he adds ]: Ladies not allowed to pass the gate"
 Those are orders," explained a gate man. You see, in this station trains and baggage trucks are passing all the time and passengers have to be careful. Women with these high heeled contraptions and bandages around their ankles get in the way and there's always danger of running over them. They get in, the way of the passen- gers, too"

 Produce and Fruits

While it is now very late in the season few watennelons are yet to be seen OH Morris avenue, but they are inferior to those shipped in earlier.
 The avenue Monday was well supplied with varieties of fruits and produce from California and other sources. A carload of pineapples were among the days re- ceipts, which are offered at SS.5O per crate. Trade with the produce merchants continues to improve slowly, and al- though the fair will injure business some what. the dealers are expecting pros- porous month.
 The thoroughfare was bare of poultry Monday and very little activity was wit messed in the fowl line. Eggs are plen- tiful, but the demand is rather weak.
 The week opened up favorable with the feed merchants. Prices were strong and large volume of business was trans acted.

CORN LEADS ALL GRAIN MARKETS Wheat Closed At a Very Slight Decline-Oats
 Advance

Chicago, october 2.-Corn led all the grain markets today in point of activity and strength. Wet weather and more to come, was the cause.
 Tn the end prices were ss to 7sc higher than Saturday night. Wheat closed un- changed to 1-16c lower.
 Oats made net advance of 3sc and hog products varied from the same level as the previous close to 71Rc up.
 Offerings in the corn pit were light from the start. Speculators took prompt ad- vantage of the situation and bid prices sharply higher.
 There were many reports that excessive rains had inflicted serious damage on shock corn and on the bottom fields. Not only today but all last week, the trade had complaints of too much moisture, as- sertions being made that corn was ,ot- ting by the hundreds of acres, especially where low lying sections had suffered from floods. The fact that the whole corn belt was in drenched condition this morning led to a decidedly bullish feeling here and gave leaders a. much coveted chance for aggressive work.
 The result was buoyancy almost wholly unchecked with the close steady at tho top prices of the session. During the day December ranged from GAIA to 6iBc and finished at the last named figure, a gain of Mc net.
 In wheat there was a see-sawing. Heavy receipts in the northwest, disappointing cables and a big decrease in worlds sup ply were offset by the strength of corn, by frost reports of the Argentine Repub- lie and by a forecast of sleet in the Ca- nadian northwest. The tone at the close was easy.
 Between the opening and the last gong December flucuated from 977s to 9s1sc. with final sales 9SBc, net decline of n shade.
 Oats followed the rise in corn and had quite similar support Profit taking on the part of lucky longs formed the only moderating influence. Upper and lower limits for December proved to be ISIS and 47Ca477sc. The close at 4s04sisc showed an advance of 9sc over Saturday nights windup.
 Provisions developed firmness owing to the handsome gain in exports last week as compared with a year ago. When the pit was cleared pork had been chall1ed TIC up. lard was unchanged to decrease of cents and ribs were more expensive by a shade to 7is cents.
