Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 21.-(Special) )-Euro- pean adyices were of a disappointing character. causing a decline at the open
 ing of about points. after which the market became steadier on the presence of cold wave which the government predicts will carry frost into Oklahoma.
 The feature of today were the strength of December, due to the buying by spin- ners, and the arbtrage selling of May This demand from spinners was supplied from the liquidation of several large long accounts. who were selling because of the reports from Memphis that the ginners' report would be bearish. Around these prices there seems to be a small invest ment demand although the trade con- tinues to be very bearish, expecting that the ginners report will cause a quick decline.
 Frost has been predicted so often that little attention is paid to government predictions. Curiously the differences be- tween middling and fully good middling were narrowed in Liverpool today, at a time when the difference is widening in this country. Perhaps the large arrivals of American high grades in Liverpool today caused 1t.
 Liverpool Is due to come to i to 11a points down in the morning.

New York. October 21.-The feature of today's stock market was the heavy selling of the last hour which caused rapid diminishing of quoted values. net losses in representative ranging from 2 to 1 points.

 The set was again due. in part to foreign influences. London's market was weak. natural condition in view of the liberal selling there for Berlin and Paris. French rentes suffered an other severe decline and private ad- vices received by international bankers indicated extreme uneasiness at the French capital arising from latest de- velopments in the Balkans.
 The local market opened with some moderate losses, these being partially regained in the early afternoon when 1t became known that the United States supreme court would not hand an i'm mediate decision in the so-called am thracite cases. The professional ele- ment then undertook to advahce sev- eral specialties and this movement pTONln6 IlOit Oi ltSS lulllt, lut ilSt ' was left to it's own devices. Traders were not slow to realize it's technical weakness which included increasing firnness of call money on reduced sup plies.
 After the close it developed that Paris and other European exchanges were still at work clearing up last week s wreckage. It was intimated that nu- merous private settlements were being made in London, Paris and Berlin to cover up some of the weak spots ere ated by the recent hquida lion and that further drastic measures might be nec- essary to prevent acute demoraliza ton in more than one financial quarter.

ARRIVALS
 CRUSH OUT ADVANCE
Wheat Closes Steady, 1-Sc Up.C0rn Unchanged
 to 1c Lower

Chicago. October 21.-Heavy arrivals of wheat at primary terminals crushed out an advance today due to growing fear as to the serious nature of the war in the Balkans. The result was a steady close. with prices the same as Saturday night to ise up. Latest trading left corn unchanged to 1c lower, oats either not all tered or within lsc decline and provisions 21aca221ac down.
 For a while traders paid chief atten- tion to signs that European markets were becoming agitated because of the Bal kan war. Higher insurance rates were quoted at London and there were asser- tions that the topmost charges in five years had been exacted for vessel room from the Black sea to western Europe. Such influences. however, gradually gave way to considerations nearer at hand. Bears received their principal comfort through the fear that primary receipts were double those of year and two years ago. It was noticed also that de spite exports the United States visible supply had increased materially. Decem- Der ranged from s2sc to 921sd92ssc with last sales a shade net higher at 921sd 92i4e.
 Predictions of fair weather weakened the corn market. December fiuctuated be- tween 52lsd52l4c and 5Sase. closing steady iso net lower at 53Ae. october finished a full cent off. Cash grades were quiet. No. yellow was quoted at 641sqsoc.
 Oats showed little demand, but selling pressure was not important. Outside linn it's touched by December were S2s@Sz4c. and s23sc. with the close lsc off at 32ls@ 32l4o
