Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 25.-(Special.)-1n face of the bullsh statistics of the week the Liverpool market did not follow the better market here, so that the absence of a new demand here at the opening to absorb the offerings led to a decline. Later advices from central and southwestern Texas of further rains last night and to- day caused a small further decline.
 The decline appeared to be due to lqui- dation of long cotton accumulated earlier in the week by the local trade, who sold on the news of the rains. Our stock con- tinues to lose under shipments to the con- tinent by brokers more or less believed to be identified with the bull party. Cur rent rumors holds that the shipments are due to a desire to reduce our stock -o small proportins before May tenders. Good rains in many portins of Texas caused the weakness here today, as the local traders who had bought freely last week were not disposed to hold their purchases In face Of improving crop prospects.
 Brokers more or less identified with the bulls bought some 5000 bales for export to the continent today.

COTTON MARKET
 QUIET AND EASY Favorable Weather and Bad Crop Reports Bring
 Easier Trade

New York, March 25.-The cotton mar ket was easier today under liquidation, under local selling. following the failure of the census report to create fresh de- mand and in response to. favorable weather and unfavorable crop accounts. The close was steady, but at the lowest prices of the day and at net decline of to 10 points. The market opened steady at unchanged prices to decline Of points, although cables were rather bet ter than due and gradually eased off dur ing the session with May selling as low as 14.4so and July at 14.26c, or about 20 points under the high level of March IT.
 Foreign trade advices showed no change, but the curtailment of production in Fall river was equal to last weeks, while the sales were smaller and the un- favorable aspect of the domestic trade sit nation was emphasized by further reduc- tions in the prices of bleached goods and rumors that O large Massachusetts mill would close down next week, throwing about 52O0 hands out of employment.
 Private wires from Texas report further rain in the southwest, and from reports
 
 most favorable. Notwithstanding these reports, new crop positions were relative ly steady during the morning, and it seemed that their chief influence was di- rected against the old crop position on the ground that q favorable new crop outlook would materially affect the at titude of tho general trade toward carry ing old crop supplies during the end of the season. Moreover the discounts at which new crop months are already sell ing may restrict fresh operations for a decline to some extent. The bulish week. end figures probably helped to steady Liverpool this morning, but heavily dis counted in the local market late yester- cay. Members of the New York cotton exchange will vote on Monday on the pro- posal to make Good Friday, April A. and the Saturday following, exchange holi- days.
 Receipts at the ports today. 5O14 bales, against 5593 last week and 11,295 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1121, against 439O last year.

WHEAT MARKET VERY RESTLESS
 --- After Varying Action, How ever, Closes Steady at
 Middle Figures

Chicago, March 25.-After being pull ed up and then down the wheat mar ket today closed steady at middle fig ures. the same as last night to as sc be- low. Varying news about the weath CT had a good deal to do with the action of prices. Corn finished unchanged to Ssc off; oats not altered at all, and provisions running from 1O@12kc de- cline to 21sc advance.
 There was no continuance of yes- terday's imported demand for the cash grain. Flour trade was also easier. Speculators were nervous as to a pos sible renewal of fear concerning drouth. An equally sensitive response though followed Ty announcement of bear ish forecast that the weather had be- come unsettled and that rain might be expected in the spring wheat terri tory. A prospective big total of world shipments afforded additional reason for fear but the desire of shorts to realize profits proved in the end suf- ficient to offset other factors. High and low limits for May were SS4 mSSAc and S8H fl G with the close SS3sc precisely the figures current 24 hours before.
 Corn dropped in consequence of lib- eral receipts and on account of slow demand. May ranged between 45h Q 47hc. finishing steady at 479s @ 64c, a net loss of Sc No. yetllow closed 46 1a O 47c.
 May fluctuated from 3OAc to 301s . and when business came to an end was 3SA @3Shc-no different from last night.
 Packers were on both sides of the trade of provisions. The result was to make prices a little irregular, leaving pork at 71ac to 101ac decline; lard Sc down to a shade up, and ribs unchanged to 21ac greater cost.

An Idaho Poet

Dillon Wallace met many unusual mer
 on his trip through the west. In april
 Outing he tells the following story: with a native of the ranch I walked
 down along the beach sands of Bear gence of red, purple and yellow beyond the mountains on the opposite shore The man was poet and dreamer. Every evenin' I come down here, said he, ct see tn sun go down an tn sky light up with bright colors, an ] think I'd like t SC tn other countries tn sun lights when it leaves us. They must be lands of great beauty t renec, such colors in tn sky, for tn sky, ] takes it, is just big mirror. Maybe
 though, it's not earthly lands, but hea- ven, that's reflected. An what wonder ful people must live there, for they sure must be fit for tn land, or tn Almighty wouldn't let em stay"
 We walked down to the beach again, at his suggestion, to see the lake by the light of a brilliant moon.
 q often wonder" said my friend, what the world is like outside of this, and tn big ocean with waves as high as these mountains. I've never seen none of tn world exceptin' some of these hills and canyons. and Montpelier. Montpelier's big place, an they have all sorts of contraptions there. You'll hit tn town tomorrow. I don't care much about it. Tn folks seem different from us
 q, was some interested in wagons that run without horses-watcher call 'em don't remember. One of 'em tried to run down here in tn summer, and got stuck just above In tn sand. I'd like t go and see what there is in tn world, for I expect there's a heap big ger places than Montpelier, with a heap of strange things they don't have there. But" he added, after a pause, T expect I'll never see anything but just this round here, an it ain't so bad, reckon, with it's sunsets and moOnlights."

STOCKS CLOSE
 AQU|ET WEEK
Number of Fractional De- clines and Small Gains.
 Mexican Stocks Weak

New York, March 25.-The weekend in She stock market was a fitting wind-up to yne days immediately preceding. Trading in the first hour amounted to about 3o,OOO shares and the total for the two-hour ses- sion was 5e,00O shares. The net result was a number of fractional declines with a few gains.
 There was fair demand for Americans at better prices in London, but the mar ket there sold off later on forecasts of the New York bank statement In Paris the securities market was further de- pressed as a result of the Russo Chinese situation and the market in Berlin was featureless.
 Affairs in Mexico were brought to the fora again by the resignation of the cabi- ret there Mexican railway bonds were weaker than on any previous day. since the attention of the country was directed to the mobilization of American troops on the border. This latest development, however, was not regarded in Wall street as valid grounds for unrest, but, on the other hand, it was pointed out that the contemplated changes in the Mexican ad- ministration might go far toward relieving the situation.
 Multiplying evidence of the backward ness of trade were received from various quarters. Tn fortnightly report of the number of idle cars disclosed consid- erable increase which was confined chiefly to the east and south. Operations of a number of New England mills, principally in the rubber and textile industrials, were either curtailed or halted entirely.
 The bank statement showed an actual loan increase of s1O, ,600,OO0. and & cash gain of about $1, ,6O0 900, instead of the moderate loss looked for fin that item. The outcome leaves the reserves at 27.23 per cent, against 27.35 per cent the pre- vious week, and compares very favorably with this period for years past.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $S89,000

ANTI-SUFFRAGE
 POSTERS ARE UP
From the New York Sun.


 While Mrs. Belmont, Mrs. Blatch and other suffrage leaders of New York have been seeking for a cartoonist for the cause, the "antis' have stolen march on them and have collected a gallery ot original.posters illustrating the objections to the fight for franchise.
 The blue ribbon was awarded by com mittee of which Mrs. Henry Seligman is chairman, to wash drawing poster en- titled "The Three Sexes' A man is stand ing between two women, both young and slender. The one on his left wears a frilly frock and demure smile. The one on the right, whom he regards with a smile of quizzical amusement, is clad in a mannlshly cut tailored suit and doesn't seem to realize that the man is there.
 The next best effort, in the opinion of the judges, is line drawing showing . man bent double under the weight of Q huge stone labeled government" On the ground near him sits a baby labeled Woman stretching out Its arms toward the burden and yelling q want 1t! want ftp
 Another line drawing which received honorable mention represents several suf- fragists laden with heavy burdens cross ing bridge consisting of one narrow wooden plank to stone tower formed of office jobs, trade unions and votes. The plank is caving in under the weight of a woman who Is about half way across. When she falls she will land on the roof of a fragile-looking structure marked Home" Within the home is a man con- fortably reclining in a chair while a woman holds a baby up to one of the windows.
 There were 20 other pictures each of which illustrated some phase of the suf- frage question in a manner which Mrs Jones and other ''antis' pronounced clev- CT. One which attracted great deal of favorable comment was an adaptation of the The won't be happy till he gets it' idea It was a line drawing showing a woman's head ornamented with cork screw curls leaning out over the edge of 0 porcelain tub.

Famed a Wild Swan

From the StrHnu
 A mild male Russian swan (the largest and handsomest species of the wild goose tribe) flew into Los Angeles park three winters ago. After much cajoling I Nave trained him so that he will answer to the name I christened him, and when I call Billy he will run to me and will follow me like dog.
 I do much of my literary work in this park and Billy sits beside me and searches my various pockets for popcorn or crackers. and his disappointment is pathetic if perchance I meet him empty handed or rather empty pocketed. It was fully a year before Billy would allow me to approach within ten yards of him. but by degrees I have succeeded in whining his confidence and he now affords ep Hess amusement to my friends and mysflf
