Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 10.-Liverpool was re-
ported to be under the influence of re-
ports of failures in America and heavy
selling by the same interests which have
been selling here during the past week.
Our market rallied from the lower open
ing to last evenings closing prices and
then sold off under the very bearisn sem
timent now pervading the trade as result
of the rains In Texas and the decline in
prices.
The close was easy and 1t is difficult to
find anyone who thinks the crop can be
injured from now on. Heavy rains are
reported from many sections, and they
are expected to continue east of the river
over Sunday.
There is an excellent demand for cotton
goods, and our manufacturers are feeling
the effect of the slow change In the FASH
ions calling for more yardage.

ADVANCES RATHER
LESS SUBSTANTIAL
Reading Reaches Its High
est Quotation-U. S.
Steel Backward

New York, August 10.-The buying
movement which followed yesterdays late
rise on publication of the very favorable
government crop report was resumed with
considerable vigor today Advances were
rather less substantial, however, in the
more important crop carriers or condi-
tions than in other less important, pane
ly, the Southern roads. Albeit the better
outlook for cotton may have stimulated
demand for those shares.
AS the brief session progressed Read
ing reached its highest quotation in the
present movement, and Norfolk and West
ern scored its record price, with some
inquiry for New York Central and New
Haven at steady gains Activity in the
latter was an unusual feature, the more
so when pending federal legislation would
debar its ships with those of the south
crn Pacific and other railroads from Pan
anna canal privileges.
United States steel coppers and various
other industrials were decidedly backward
in the movement, which was the more
significant because of strength of the rail-
ways. Consolidated Gas. American Can
preferred. Sears Roebuck and Republic
Iron were among the few active and
strong specialties. In the final hour the
rise underwent a slight reversal conse-
quently on realizing sales and trading be-
came dull but final prices In numerous
instances were at best.
Steel UNTITLED Tonnage" figures for
July were issued at the close of the day
detailed 5957,0f9 tons. which more than
olet popular executions and exceeded all
previous records.
Actual bank loans increased by less
tina none million dollars with cash gain
of s1,S44,000. making slight gain In re-
serves.
The bond market was steady with total
sales par value, s1,910,oO0. United States
government bonds were unchanged on
call.

Newly ork August 1O-The Financier
will say: The statement of the New York
clearing house banks for the week ending
August 10 was decidedly favorable al
though the changes in the various items
were not strikingly important.
Chief interest centered around the re-
port OF cash changes and the exhibit
based on actual conditions showed that
the banks had gained S,S44,000 in cash
which was slightly less than had been
anticipated earlier in the week. There
was 4 small increase of ss55000 in loans
While net deposits rose S3,S9d,0e The la
ter increase called for additional reserve
requirements but the amount was not
heavy enough to wipe out the effect of
the cash gain and the clearing instith
tons increased their cSS. reserve by
$3.50. making the present excess over
the % per cent minimum, 800. 7sS. $50.
The statement worked ont on the sys-
tenn of averages was even more favor
bic, excess reserve standing at $21, goo
The summary of trust companies made in
dependently showed that these institu-
lions are also strengthening their posi-
ton by the expedient Of cirtailing loans
and reducing deposits. their reserve on
deposits having expanded nearly two and
q half millions this week

ENTERTAINMENT AT TIE
OPERA HOUSE

The moving pictures at the OPP
era House are meeting with merit
ed support from the townspeopic.
Newark being unfortunate IN not
having any other place OF recrea-
ton. the management OF the op-
era House is TO be congratulated
on furnishing good. clean enter
tainment in vaudeville and mov.
ing pictures. Aside from the rec
rcative idea, Mr.. SPAIN. the pro
prietor. believes in giving the eda-
cational phase it's proper place.
The motion picture can be made
something more than mere fun.
Well known educators arc seri-
ouslv considering its adaptability
to the schools. The shows given
Monday and Tuesday evenings OF
the Passion Play bring to people
unable to visit Oberammergau or
to hear the great artists OF the
world. an idea of this wonderful
miracle play Of the middle CEN
t,1ries. in which the church took
the master part. These pictures
were well worth seeing, and the
support given the new manage
ment has clearly demonstrated
that Newark needs and patronizes
clean, healthy entertainment.
