Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, December 24.-HoHday markets on both sides of the Atlantic showed a somewhat larger short inter- est in Liverpool than fin America. The foreign markets were stronger than ours due to the calling of cotton by spinners as the basis abroad Is bet ter for them than here. Meanwhile the interests are all waiting new develop ments and we think that 1t will not be until after the new year that clear view can be obtained. Generally the trade think that no decline of conse- quence can occur unless there Is q decided check to general business.

From the Argonaut.
 Of the late Bishop Charles c. Graf ton. a Fond du Las man said: Bishop Grafton was remarkable for the neat ness and point of his pulpit utterances. Once during disastrous strike capitalist of Fond du Lac arose in church meeting and asked leave to speak. The bishop gave him the floor and the man delivered himself Of a long panegyric upon captains of indus try, upon the good they do by giving men work, by booming the country, by re- ducing the cost of production, and so forth. When the capitalist had finished his self-praise and, flushed and satisfied, had sat down again. Bishop Grafton rose and said with quiet significance: "Ts there any other sinner who would like to say word?"

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 24.-After noon
 tine market became stagnant. At half an
 hour within the close prices were 3 to ,
 points over yesterdays final prices. All the forenoon the trade was very steady. The movement was almost wholly of an evening up character from the mid
 de of the forenoon forward. Prices did nor sag much until the dullness, chiefly because of a scattering demand from shorts which puzzled traders, made it's appearance in volume. All around the ring found difficulty to meet the demand from the outside. At noon prices were D
 points above yesterdays final price quo
 tations.
