Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. October 31.-A quiet market With a demand to cover which absorbed the hedge selling from the south leaves the market practically unchanged, though a shade better than yesterday. For some days past there has been local sentiment that the demand on the basis of cents for March would sustain the market for some little time, regardless of any de- cline in the future which might come from the marketing of the crop. On this idea the estimate of MT. Cordell that the crop would reach the enormous total of 5,375 GOO bales has been passed by as be- ing simply a confirmation of previous large crop estimates
 Liverpool and the continent are expect ed to buy on any declining market and for these reasons the trade expects a re- ccvery in Liverpool tomorrow of ? to 3 points.

Good Roads Train Leaves

Huntsville, October 31.-(Special. )-The Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis good roads train left here last night after spending two days in Madison county. Messrs Winslow and Weir, the govern ment experts with the train, went over many of the roads in this county and gave their opinion of them. Some of the roads were found to be in fairly good shape; all were too narrow and most of the small bridges were too weak for heavy traffic. They recommended that guard rails be placed at g. great many places, where the ditches on the roadside are deep.

end of the first half hour of business prices were to points under yester- days close.
 Buying by ring traders increased toward the middle of the morning as the market showed signs of reacting. News from the governors cotton congress was largely watched for and the report that bull leaders were in session with some of the delegates had stimulating effect on the market. The movement was very large and the into-sight for the week promised to break all records. This served to pre- vent buying in some quarters and caused a small amount of fresh selling for short account. The undertone of the market showed improvement. however, and at noon prices were to points over yester- days final quotations.
