Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 14-(Special J. Again Liverpool hesitated about following the improvement in this market, so we opened a shade lower to slowly improve some IS to 1T points.
 For several months 1t has been appar- ent that the forward sales to spnners had been hedged in December, and when the cotton was bought in the south. other months were sold. with the evident in- tention of drawing a stock to this mar ket. Although we hear reports of weak southern markets the cotton has not yet come to supply the engagements, so De- cember has advanced sharply
 We have received many inquiries ask Ing why the market has advanced some 25 points from the low level of the year. To some extent the improvement Is due to the growing belief that business has turned for the better throughout the country. Possibly the European buying absorbed more cotton than we thought; possibly the market went too low; pos sibly more persons thought 1t would de- cline sharply on the bureau and bear ish ginners' report Certainly many feel the advance uncalled for, and will not sustain it.

COTTON MARKET
 DECIDEDLY PRIMER
Opening Was Steady at Un- changed Prices and the
 Close Strong

New York, December H.-The cotton market was more active and decidedly firmer today on covering of shorts and continued buying for reaction, with December leading the advance and with the market closing firm at a net gain of 10 to 24 points,
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points in sym pathy with steady cables and Immediately showed a tendency to work higher on covering by December shorts, foreign trade buying and rumors of bullish gln- ming returns for the first period of De- cember. After showing a net advance of about to IS points during the noon hour the market had a quick reaction of to 6 returns to the National Ginners' associa- ton indicate 95o,o00 bales of cotton ginned between December 1 and December 1S, or about 1S,76ioOOo bales for the season to the latter date, but the market quickly firmed up again on continued covering and in the late trading showed a net ad- vance of 26 points on December and of II
 
 was within or points of the best.
 The feature of the day appeared to be the nervousness of the December short interest. Cotton has been arriving here from the south for delivery on contracts Q little more freely of late and 1t is etsi- mated that stock available for contract delivery which is now in the neighbor- hood of 6S,00O bales will be increased to fully 125,0O0 bales by the lst of January, but the action of today's market sus- gested that the cotton now heading here was not an adequate protection for the short interest and the fear of De- cember squeeze appeared to promote more or less general covering in the later months. Reports received here from Gal- weston claimed that the interior was of fering cotton more freely, but other re- ports were received indicating firmness among holders and the days advance may have been partly due to a feeling that pre-holiday liquidation of spot hold ngs in the south had not materialized in line with bearish predictions.
 Receipts today 61,63O against 65,17 last week an d73,O00 last year. Todays re- ceipts at Galveston 9,42S aSainst 179S3 last year; at New Orleans, 11,4f against Is, 751 last year; at Houston, 13,000 against 10,779 last year.

CROWDS THIN AS
 XMAS APPROACHES.
Prices Ease off a Little All ArOund-Wheat Closes
 Almost at Bottom

Chicago, December 1.-The approach of Christmas thinned the crowd today cn change, and the prices eased off little wheat was down 9sc to ssn1kc net, corn off 14d3sc to Fsc, oats 9sd1zc to 9sc, and hog products 21a65c to 10c.
 Wheat closed at almost the bottom for the day. It was apparent the market had no support, but shorts seemed timid about putting on much pressure. The decline came more from weight due to neglect than because of any external influence. Crop news from the Argentine, if show ing any material difference, turned in favor of the bears.
 Liberal export sales reported at Mon treal gave scant help, as there was no for eigL demand for United States grown wheat and no adequate milling call for the big stocks in Chicago. Estimates were current that 20 to 25 per cent of the spring crop was yet In farmers hands, and that southwestern reserves were light. May ranged from 97Ac to 977sc, with the finish steady at 97ssq971ac, a decline of 9sc com pared with 24 hours before.
 Some of the larger commission concerns were selling corn off and on. Pit traders. though, appeared to favor the buying side. Country roads were reported as im- proving, a sign of heavier receipts ahead. May fuctuated between 63ssc and 6S5sc, closing easy 14@9sc down at 63ssa631ac. Cash demand was slim. No. ? yellow was quoted at 70d71c for car lots.
 Profit taking on the part of shorts af- fcrded the only prop under the oats market A southwestern speculator was credited with unloading considerable amounts of the cereal. Top and bottom levels reached for May were 49ls@49A e and 49ssd 49ikc, with the close 9sc net lower at 4S1s@4S9sc.
 Provisions weakened in view of a drop in prices at the yards. There were also reports that foreign supplies of hogs were larger than had been expected. When the pit was cleared pork had become less expensive by 71ad10c, and other products decreased in cost 21a@5c to 5d715c

COUNTRY BOY MAY
 SECURE PARDON

New Orleans, December 14.-The state pardon board yesterday recommended the full and unconditional pardon of Charles Denton of Colfax, La, sentenced in 1905 to life term in the penitentiary for be- ing an accessory with Mrs. Savilla Rob erts to the murder of his uncle HarVe Williamson in 1903. Mrs. Roberts was also sentenced for life. but was pardoned. In joining her efforts with others to secure the pardon of Denton, Mrs. Roberts said that when she implicated the green coun- try boy she was in love with him, and did not want to be in prison while he re- mained free. Another reason, she said. was that Denton's sisters laughed at her when she was sentenced to the peniten- tiary.
