Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 30.--(Special.)-- On the opening there was considerable realizing and more short selling by the local trade on the idea that the October commitments had been filled and the advance was therefore over. But London firm pointed out that the sp'nners would need from 14,500.000 to 14,750,000 bales this season and under present conditions 1t would be good policy to obtain their requirements.
 Strange that 1t should need a foreign firm to point out what we have been calling to your attention, namely, that the good trade all over the world could only mean record consumption. Ap- parently 1t was needed, for the market advanced 20 points and closed steady.
 Spinners calling cotton. shorts cover ing. absorbed more than the profit taking and the hedge selling. Under this view of record consumption the market will advance until either the spinners stop buying or the south floods the market with cotton, as last month.

The outside bought freely. It was said certain large interests known to incline tow Id the long side of stocks were ma- nipulating the shorts out of the trade.

SHARP ADVANCE IN
 . THE COTTON MARKET
Close Steady With a Net Gain of 16 to 21
 Points

New York, October So.--A bullish esti- mate of supplies and requirement. for the present season by an English trade au- thority and continued reports of firm southern spot situation caused another sharp advance In the cotton market to- day, and all active months hold well above the lie level. The close was steady.
 with last prices showing a net gain of from 16 to 21 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of several points to a decline of point, near months being relatively steady fin response to better cables than due, fiuence of favorable weather map. nhe official forecast pointing to further good weather in the south tended to encourage selling on expectation of spot demand after the first of the month, and during the early trading the market sold off to a net decline of about to 8 points. The offerings, however, were we'll absorbed | by renewed demand from some of the 1 leading brokers and as soon as report was circulated that well known London trade statsticians estimated the con
 sumption at from 14,500000 to 14,750O0o,
 and placed the probable American crop at only 13e70,000 bales, the market became
 much firmer. Realizing was heavy on the
 advance and caused slight reactions from time to time. but there seemed to be all | increasing volume of outside buying. while
 early sellers were evidently nervous
 enough to cover. and the market reached
 net gain of from 24 to 26 points in the
 late trading with January cotton selling at Il .1Sc Numerous reports of an active
 spot demand at advancing prices in the
 south contributed to the advance here
 and while there was some selling for a
 reaction as we'll as realizing in the late I trading, closing prices were within 6 oi I ' points of the best on active positions.

WAR NEWS AFFECTS
 THE STOCK MARKET
Shadow of Sickness Again Hangs Over Financial
 Situation

New York, October 3o.-The shadow of today again All foreign bourses were un- settled after an early spree of optimism due to reports that two of the leading European powers had arrived at an ami cable understanding regarding the conflict in the Balkan peninsula. The early tone of London was one of cheerfulness on buying orders from the Continent and absence of further liquidation in Canadian Pacific. That stock rose over points abroad and almost the entire American group closed strong. As a result of this apparent improvement our own market opened with a general and substantial rise, Canadian Pacific gaining points with l point gains in Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Reading, Lehigh Valley, United States Steel, Amalgamated, Ana conda and American smelting. Before the end of the first hour persistent selling had almost wiped out much. of the advance, and at noon when selling became more ex- tensive 1t was utterly effaced.
 Some issues sold under yesterdays low est price News from Europe at this june ture assumed an alarming tone and there were signs that the foreign bourses were once more under severe strain.
 Short selling, especially in steel and presumably based on yesterdays financial statement, was factor during the day in the declining movements, which was stopped in the final hour only. Partial recoyeries were then noted regardless of the rate of per cent in call loans. The rally continued to dull and firm close. There were numerous net fractional gains. The one important railway return was that of the Reading system, which showed net gains for both it's lines and coal company, the whole totalling $S16,00f and a surplus increase of SS00000. The bond market at the end was lower, espe- cially so in convertible issues. Total sales, par value, $1,600O00. United States bonds were unchanged on call. '

DECIDED PRESSURE

The Understanding Between Russia and Austria Gives
 Bears Advantage

Chicago, ocotber so.-More courage de- yeloped today on the selling side of th1 wheat market than had been noticed in some time past An understanding be- tween Russia and Austria relative to the Turkish war gave the bears an advantage that was increased by a gain in the worlds available supply. Accordingly, finished 1k@ssc to 1a1lsc under last night. Latest trading left corn Ac to 4c down, oats off a shade to i4c and provisions varying from 25c down to a like advance.
 Right from the start there was decided
 assure to sell wheat. Improved crop \ nects in Argentina, glut of re- cen. at Minneapolis and well stocked aided bear sentiment. December ranged from s07sc to 9l%c. with last sales 1@1isc net lower at 91Q91Isc.
 Corn for October delivery sold at the lowest price of the season and at nearly the lowest for other options. Increasing new heceipts furnished the chief reason. October scored a net decline of 4c, bu, was more active, fiuctuated between 51&c and 52%c, closing easy ssc down at 517sG 52c. Cash grades were weak. No. ? yell low was quoted at b9a591sc.
 Oats took color from other grain and ranged a little lower. Export call dwin- dled. High and low points touched by December were s2lsc and S2c, with the close a shade off at 32q32isc.
 Investment buying put provisions on the up grade. A helping hand came also from the packers. Except for a back-sei in October pork, the market in the end stood 71sc to 25c above last night
 Future quotations were as follows:
