Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, February 15.-(Special )-Liv- erpool came lower, but was evidently sup ported all day in face of the disappont- ing action of our market. The liauida- tion, which began yesterday afternoon by the smaller outside longs who thought that the action of the European markets indicated that 1t was good time to take profits, has continued today.
 At different intervals the market has been freely bought by the larger traders, only to fall back and close weak at about & points lower than last evening.
 The south has been selling. evidently against spots which they had accumu- lated on the advance, as we doubt if there is any increase In the short inter- est but we think there was decrease in the small outside buying which has been following the advance.
 1t is thought that the larger operators have not sold, In fact there does not seem to have been any market for them to sell on after the unexpected break of yes terday.
 Liverpool should be points lower to- morrow.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans February 15.- Cotton fu- lures opened steady at a decline of to 1 points on indifferent cables and the report that prominent bull interests lqul- dated heavily yesterday. One rumor was that there had been a split in the bull clique. Short selling was greatly stim- ulated by these stories and the pressure resulted in putting the trade to points under yesterdays close after the call. On this decline scalping shorts took profits heavily and checked the downward move ment and brought about partial re- coveryr At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 1 to 3 points under yesterdays close.
 The market was nervous and inclined 10 sag all the morning. Support was offered at times by prominent bull in- terests, but every time it was withdrawn prices fell off. At one time most months were to C points over yesterdays close but this advance did not last long. Late piled and the old acrops went 12 to l3 points under the last prices of yester- day and the new crop 6 points under At noon the tone was quiet and steady and prices unchanged.
 In the afternoon session the ma arket was nervous and at times excited. Bulls were determined buyers early in the aft ernoon and put the trading months : to points over yesterdays close The advance did not hold and the market was 10 , points under yesterdays close

 Leading Issues-Prices
 * Off in Afternoon

New York, February 15-IJnder tho leadership of Union Pacific and United States Steel the stock market developed moderate strength in the first half of toe days trading. These two leaders, as well as Great Northern preferred. Canadian Pacific and Reading, improved a point or more and smaller gains were made by most other stocks. In the afternoon prices eased off and net changes in most in- stances were of small consequence.
 tIhe movement was another illustration of the irresolute, confused state of specu- lative opinion at present. Professional traders sought eagerly some indications Of the probable course of stocks but were able to form no conclusive opinion. The market apparently has reached a condi- ton of equilibrium while traders await the. appearance of some new influence of sufficient importance to have decided effect
 The widest movements were among the less active issues, number of which were dealt in at rising prices. Fluctuations of these stocks attracted the most attention on account of ddllness of standard issues.
  ferred, Interborough Metropolitan pre- ferred, National Lead preferred. Maekay company, Railway Steel Spring preferred and a number of others of the specialties rose from 1 to points. Reducations of the dividend rate on Federal Mining and Smelling preferred was followed by de- cline of q point in that stock. Some pres sure on the coal stocks was apparent at times. Reading moved in a regular fash ion--losng an early advance and later It. covering it. Central Railroad of New Jer- sey lost 15 points.

Amalgamated Cop per, American Smelling and Utah Copper all rose point or more.
