Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. June 6.--fSpecial) )-Light showers over the Atlantic states, with predictions for local showers for the next two days over the northern cotton states, adversely affected the markets until noon. Then the weekly government report was read to mean that the crop was suffer- ing from drought, especially in the south west. Buying by local sources quickly advanced the market, closing firm at 1s points higher The same conditions are noticeable. as for the past week. a dis position to regard the crop condition as becoming less favorable, due (now that the Atlantic states have had some relief from showers) to the dry weather in the southwest. Every adverse feature is bound to become known when the world needs a large crop.

YAQUI INDIANS
 MADE DEMANDS

Tucson, Ariz.. June 6.-Official informa- ton has reached here that a band of Yaqui Indians near Corral recently held up a passenger train, searched it, and then allowed it to proceed without molest- ing anyone. The Indians acted as if hunt ing for some particular person. This band is reported to have seized two carloads of provisions at Empalme and one car load at Hermosillo.
 Major Burnham, representing the John Hays Hammond interests in the Yaqui delta, arrived here yesterday and con- firms the reports of demands made by the Yaaui Indians for the return to them of the delta lands and seven towns. The government, he said has promised the h. dians justice if they would not enter the towns in question or make trouble. Ar armed truce now exists.

WEATHER SCARE
 NOW SEEMS ENDED
Support Pulled Out--From Under Wheat Market
 Causes Weak Feeling

Chicago, June 6.-Ending of the hot weather scare pulled support today out from under the wheat market There was also growing belief that the reel procity bill would pass the Senate In consequence, a decidedly weak feeling prevailed the greater part of the time, with the close 1asc to f15e lower than last night The final gong left corn 5sc to 1A @1ssc down: oats off Bc and hog products more expensive by 5c to 15c.
 There evidently was no attempt to the short sellers, although at first rather timid gained courage with every de- cline If any addition was made to the holdings of the leading longs, however, the work was so quietly done as to leave no open trace. Besides, the cooler wealth. CT and showers in the American winter wheat belt, the drouth sections of Russia had a drenehing. Furthermore, the Ar genuine sent reports of 20 per cent increase of area under seed and there was a big gain in the weekly total of the worlds available supply. Statements that cutting was well started in Missouri with the prospective yield large, acted likewise In favor of the bear side. A slight reaction occurred in the late trad ing, but the tone in the end was more easy than firm. During the session July ranged from 91ssc to 92zc, closing at 9l9sQ91Ac, net loss of 19s@11kc.
 Huge receipts and lack of storage room weakened corn. Crop advices, too. were almost uniformly good. July 1uctuated between 5sa4c and 5sss@541hc. with the close a4c off at 53Bc Cash grades were depressed. No. ? yellow finished at $40 5415c
 Oats showed greater weakness, relative ly, than any other grain. Glowing re- ports from the northwest were chiefly responsible. together with reciprocity talk and the fact that the southwest reported rain. High and low points for July were 379sc and the close kc down at 36ssc.
 With hogs in light supply provisions ruled firm. The outcome was an ad- vance all around-15c for pork, 71aQ1211c for lard and 5@10c for ribs.
 Future quotations were as follows.

HEAVY TONE ON
 STOCK MARKET Stocks Move in Hesitating Way and Trading Is
 Lifeless

New York June GA heavy tone char acterized today's stock market and trad ing was lifeless Stocks moved in a hes itating way and in no important instances were the losses material, but the sagging tendency which developed yesterday still prevailed today and to an extent which suggested that the recent upward move ment had expended itself, for the time at least
 In financial, as well as speculative cir cles, some disappointment Is expressed at the failure of the public to show greater interest in the market for se- curities. It had been hoped that after the decisions in the antitrust cases were made known there would b a pronounced revival in trading and for 8 time there were indications that this change had taken place.
 This outside demand, however, has fal- len off abruptly. Aside from the con- tinued inquiry for bonds investors man ifest little desire to purchase securities other than those of the standard class, an attitude which may be due in part to the belief that the prevailing level of prices Is not especially attractive.
 The hesitation of the market may be attributed to some extent to desire to await the forthcoming government crop report which is expected to exercise con- siderable influence upon sentiment.
 Advices from the west report further cut in the prices of certain steel products Better conditions in the copper stocks which were almost the only ones to show sustained strength. Securities of the American Tobacco company moved up ward today. The common stock, having declined 120 points since the rendition or the tobacco decision, recovered A points on the .curb," only to lose part or us gain. The preferred stock and the per cent bonds also made gains.
