Hubbard Bros. Co.'s Letter

New York, May s.-(Special) 1.-The fea- ture of the market was the small demand for spot cotton in Liverpool, following by a decline in the future market, where an advance had been expected. So disap- pointing were these advices that our mar ket opened about 10 points lower on the July and the distant deliveries. A do- mand for July carried that delivery some 10 points over Saturday, where the de- mand was supplied by the bulls, closing with a recation but higher than on Sat urday. It is the general belief that the longs are in complete control of the sum mer position despite the falling off in the demand from Manchester. New crop de- lveries show the influence of the con- tinued good weather over the cotton belt. with every indication that planting will be completed this week, everywhere. The demand from Europe for the new crops was not so apparent today. though Liver pool was relatively firmer than the American markets.

FEAR OF DROUTH !. INFLUENCES WHEAT
Government Report Turns Out Better Than Was
 Expected

Chicago, May S.-Fear of trough dam age counter balanced today with wheat speculators an idea that the government report would prove decidedly bearish. As a matter of fact, the document turhed out less discouraging to the bulls than had been expected, but the result was not known until after Board of Trade hours. In consequence the close was easy 1s@14c off to hc up. Corn finished A@ssc to 1lsc down; oats lower by 1sd 1lc to h15sc, and hog products at 712e to 571ac advance.
 In the face of quite general belief that the Washington news might be relied upon to favor lower prices for wheat, the market showed decided snap on the buying side at times. Drought talk in the northwest furnished one rather pressing reason. Another was a liberal decrease in the United States visible supply total. Both of those influences were uppermost except during the first and last hours of the session when dealers as rule gave attention pricipally to the supposed signs of a high percentage in the gov ernment report on the condition of winter wheat and discussed with equal eager ness the outlook for flattering state ment as to abandoned acreage. On the whole, however, the day, though char acterized by bursts of live lines, was more largely period of anxious wait ing with the end altogether indecisive. The May option went wholly into the background July ranged from SSc to sS$ac and closed at sS1sc, net loss of 1s@14c.
 Heavy selling by two leading opera tors who have large packing house in- terests weighed down the price of corn. Besides,' the weather was fine for plant ing. July fluctuated between 51a4@517sc and 525sc, closing weak at the first men, tioned level, 5sc under the latest figures of Saturday. Cash grades were easy. No. 2 yellow finished at 54A@54s4c.
 Oats weakened with corn. Most of the business was in changing from May to the distant futures. High and low points for July were 321a@325sc and S2lsc with last sales 14Q3sc net lower at 32lsc.
 Provisions rose slightly on account of small run of hogs. Offerings were scarce. After the pit was cleared pork had gained 15c to 5071ac; lard, 71sc to 10c, and ribs, 71a@121ac to 15c.

ACQUITTED MAN
 IS REARRESTED

Philadelphia, May s.-Determined to avenge the death of George Leary, real estate man of this city, relatives of the dead man today caused the re-arrest of Frank MeMahon, a saloon keeper. Mo Mahon shot and killed Leary last Thurs day night and was discharged from cus- tody on Saturday by Coroner John w. Ford, the "unwritten law'' bringing Me Mahon his freedom.
 McMahon told the coroner that when he asked Leary what he was going to do for his daughter and her baby, he said Leary sneered at him. A fight followed. and Leary, who was unarmed, was shot. Coroner Ford. instructed the jury to rem der verdict of self-defense.
 The Leary family, which is in comfor- table circumstances, declares that Me Mahon was released through political in- huence and that no money will be spared to have McMahon punished for taking Ieary'S life.

The condition of the wheat crop on May 1 of the past five years averaged S5.7 per cent: the final yield per acre averaged 15.5 bushels. If the above ratio should prevail this year the condition of S61 per cent would indicate yield of 16.5 bushels per acre, which compared with 15S bushels, the final estimate of ycild per acre in 1910. On the estimated area to be harvested 15.6 bushels per acre would produce 5.4 per cent more than the final estimate of production last year and 9.6 per cent more than the produc- tion of 1909.
 The average condition of meadow hay lands was S4.7 compared with S9.S In 1910 and 10 year average of S94.
 Stocks of hay on farms Is estimated at 7,546,000 tons Q2.4 per cent of the crop) against 7.275.000 tons Q1.2 per cent, on May l, 1910.
 The average condition of pastures was S1S compared with s92 r 1910 and a To- year average of S74.

|STOCK MARKET TRADE L|FELESS
Statement of Copper Pro- ducers Holds Attention
 of Financiers

New York. May S.-The monthly statement of the copper producers and the government crop report received more attention in the financial com munity today than did the stock mar ket, where trading was so lifeless as to be almost without significance. Expect ation of a good crop report was general and acted as sustaining in fuence in a stock market which was inclined to heavlness. Prices declined moderately and the close showed many small net losses among the active is- sues.
 The copper producers statement was not as favorable as had been expected in many quarters on account of the reports of unusually large sales in the last fortnight. Publication of the re- port had little effect on stocks, how ever, Amalgamated Copper yielding only a fraction. It was cointed out that while domestic deliveries fell off sharply exports increased moderately. There was, moreover, a marked con- traction in production in April as com pared with March. Sales of copper in the first week of May are said to have been light with fairly large inquiries from abroad. In the steel trade also indications of immediate improvement were slow. Shipments of the United States Steel corporation are reported to have fallen to below the April aver age.
 Some conception of the extremely hol- low character of today's market may be gath cred from the fact that up to midday the most active issue was American Can common. Both it and the preferred advanced materially. The movement was explained yariously as being due to increased business and to prospective dividend changes but no official information was given out on the subjects. Last weeks movements in such semi-active stocks as Interna- tional Harvester, Western Maryland and American Beet Sugar were con tinued, but the inquiry for these is- sues failed to impart any degree of confidence.
 The real market leaders with few exceptions were rather heavy. Bonds were steady New York city new 4ii established a new high record figure at 104ss. Sales, par value, $2,S26, 900. Unit ed States bonds were unchanged on call.

 RATHER SLOWLY Hens Are Expected to Ad- vance Today as Supply Not Large Enough

No complaint was made with the af- fairs of Morris avenue yesterday. Num- srous shipments were received, and the local trade leveled up to the average. The call for vegetables and fruits was little slow, but tomorrow more thrift will be in evidence in the produce markets.
 Hens were quoted at IA cents per pound yesterday It Is the belief of tho mer- chants that this price will be prevalent no longer than today. as there Is strong demand for fowl and present supplies are insufficient to continue making sales low CT than 15 cents per pound. Bryers are of- fered at 35 and 40 cents each.
 Packers are doing fine business. Quo- tations on meat remain about the same.

Berlin. May s.-GeA ny has warned France of the dangefe, consequences likely to follow the occupation of Fez by French troops.
 Further than this the government has taken no step, though watching develop ments in Morocco very closely.
 There Is no truth in the rumor published today that Germany had decided to send three cruisers to Moroccan waters in or der to display the flag at Casa Blanca, Rabat. Mokador and Fl Araish.
 In view of the hint from Berlin, 1t is believed here that the French flying col umn from the southwest, which has been hurrylng to the relief of Fez, will be halt ed outside the capital.
