Hubbard Bros. q Co.'s Letter

New York, January 1a-(Special) Jon the advance this morning there was evil dently more long cotton for sale than the arbitrage brokers could sell in Liver pool, as that market closed easy under these offerings. A decline followed the cessation of the Liverpool demand, but in the afternoon this decline was recov- cred on local buying on the spinners' takings being in excess of last season for the week.
 While the market has many sudden de- clines, without apparent adequate reason, the recoveries come quite as quickly, leaving the market without any tendency. It is thought by many that some of the original bulls are sellers on each advance and that their holdings through the arbi- trage buying pass into the hands of tho English spinners.
 The south is very bullish, despite the action of the American spinners looking toward curtailment. as they feel all the curtailment efforts last season were with- out effect on prices

AN AFFAIR OF HONOR.

Two young men well known in
Covipgton society settled their
grievances yesterday by repairing
to a quiet spot in Claiborne and
smuggling it out in true prize-fighter
style, with uppercuts and leads for
the Jaw, clinches and infighting, with
the willy knockout lying in wait for
the unfortunate slugger who did not
keep covered. The picture at the
Air-Dome Theatre of the Wolgast
and Moran fight is sad to have been
a tame affair in comparison, although
the blow that won the fight is suspi-
cously similar to the one delivered
by Wolgast to Moran, and is re-
ported by the referee and lone wit
nesses to have~been accompanied by
the same expression of agony and
to have been equally effective in
squelching all further desire te
knock the block off the otner man
We presume that everything is salts
factorily settled, and that if there
has been any wrong committed by
one against the other it is now for
given. Long live the manly art! 1
there are any differences that can
not be settled by a shifty punch il
the ozone belt, then let them sta.
unsettled. 1t is said that it is an ii
wind that blows nobody any good
We say it is an ill blow that wind

THE BRIDGE ARGUMENT.

Bodies of water always have been
barriers between bodies of land and
the inhabitants thereof. Bridges
have generally been the means OF
removing those barriers. Sons OF
the greatest engineering feats of the
world have been accomplished in sur
mounting the difficulties that lay in
crossing of water.
New Orleans, except for narrow
strip of land to the north, is prac-
tically surrounded by water. This
strip is preempted by the railroads.
No trunk line can ever reach us in
this way unless by their permission.
We all remember the fight of the
Edenborn and Frisco lines to get
into this city.
A bridge can be made to pay, its
promoters maintain, for, a bridge
that will carry steam, trolley and
single vehicle traffic is feasible.
In st. Tammany parish there is a
railroad, that while in its infancy to.
day, has, in connection with the
bridge great possibilities in connec.
