Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. March 1l-~-Today the de-
mand from the continent made Itself
felt in Liverpool and also in the south
ern spot markets.
on Saturday we heard the inquir,
which has resulted In the business OF
today but the markets have all beer
so pessmistic under the effect of the
depression in Wall street that ii was
almost impossible TO find anyone to
believe that Europe ever would want
any more cotton.
This present demand may be checked
as others have been by fear of war In
Europe, but we think not
As it is apparent from the remark
of Mr. Asquith that all matters are
reaching an adjustment, spinners have
been waiting for this pessimistic feel
ing to create lower markets. There has
been no speculation on the bull side
for several months. nothing but a slow
demand for cotton to support prices
while spinners have been consumine
cotton at very profitable results.

YOUNG COTTON SAID
TO Be Up IN TEXAS
Rapid Headway With Plant
ing and Flowing Reported
in Other Early States

| New Orleans, March 1.-THE cotton
market displayed consderable-stren of
its own today in the face of most favor
able reports from the cotton belt. Young
cotton was reported up In the earliest
section of Texas and rapid headway with
planting and plowing was reported from
other early states, although the bull side
pointed out that it was still aitosether
too early in the season to expect any
thing like general planting.
The market opened steady at an al
vance of to points on good cables
Professional traders bought rather freely
for a while on the claim that the market
was oversold and put prices to level
G to points over yesterdays close The
advance did not hold we'll because OF
short selling on good crop news, this
sailing increasing toward the middle Of
tho dav and prices fell off until they
were unchanged to / point up, compared
with the final figures of yesterday. In
the afternoon the demand from shorts IN
creased and buying for long account be-
came more aggressive.
News from the belt was ignored and
more attention was paid to reports that
the spot demand was increasing AT the
highest in the afternoon prices were I TO
10 points over yesterdays closing level
The close was steady at net riSe OF
to IL points.
The market was more active than for
some time past and trading extended well
into the new crop months.

COTTON MARKET HAS
A STEAD|ER TONE.
Closing Prices Within Point
of Best-Final Tone
Steady

New York, March 1.-THE cotton mar
ket showed a steadier tone today and
seemed to be influenced by reports of a
better spot demand or private predictions
for spell of unfavorable weather in the
south. Closing prices were within a point
of the best and the final tone was very
steady at net advance of to points.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to 7 points in response to better ca.
bles than expected. Private advices at
tributed the firmness in Liverpool to an
increased continental demand, which was
supposed to reflect the better outlook for
a satisfactory solution Of the Balkan
troubles, and houses with foreign con-
nections were considerable buyers here
Early weather advices were favorable.
however, while there was no change in
the general character of southern crop
advices, and during the early trading the
market met considerable cotton. Part of
the selling was probably inspired by an
idea that after the close of Liverpool
demand would taper off, but offerings
were absorbed on a decline to within
point or two of yesterdays closing figures
and the market soon became steader on
more favorable southern spot advices and
private predictions of wet weather in
the belt. Wall street brokers were active
buyers, and while they seemed able to
secure considerable cotton without MAX
ing much impression on prices, as one
broker was able to buy 10000 bales at
practically one quotation, the market
gradually worked higher. Late advices
from Memphis and New Orleans claim
ing an increased spot demand at full
quotations helped the tone of the mar
ket which reached the best point of the
day in the last hour.
