Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. August 23.--(Special. )--The showers which occurred last night over central Texas appear to have been Jim ited in area and while our market opened lower. the offerings were ab- sorbed by what seemed to be a covering demand from several large uptown houses. Then the market declined un- der q rumor that the ginpers' report would be bearish to recover again under further buying from what appeared to be the same source.
 That the market should show such a resistance to adverse influences is possi- ply due to the well known condition of trade at home and abroad. Certainly there is no bull speculation and the sen timent is quite as bearish among the trade as ever.
 Liverpool is due to come about F to point higher in the morning.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 23.-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of ? to 6 points on poor cables and good weather map. The market had little selling power, al- though returns from the belt were favor able and market gossip was generally bearish. Attention was called to the fact of the selling of yesterday, but there was little of it in evidence in the early trad ing of today's session. The forecast of fair weather for the western belt was called unfavorable, and led to buying which at the end of the first half hour of business put prices 1 to 3 points over yesterdays final figures.
 During the forenoon session many tele- grams were received from Texas telling of rains in sections that have been com plaining of drouth. Telegrams were also received from several points in that state claiming that farmers were not inclined to hold at all, and that cotton was piling up at the congresses. Spot factors here claimed their business was being curtailed by high freight rates and the lack of ocean room, due to the world wide de- mand for tonnage. Bearish talk relating to this situation resulted in much selling and at noon prices were to points under yesterdays final quotations
 In the afternoon the market was very
