Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. March 13.--(Special.)--
1t seems ridiculous to state again that
Europe buys the cotton which Wall
street and the south have sold short
and vet that is what has been going
on for fortnight. We find the south
quite as bearish as the traders here
holding the same view as do our north
ern spinners. that something Is going
to happen either in Europe in the shape
of a war or in politics here which will
cause lower prices. Many of our mills
are sold months ahead and are wait
ing to buy on the decline instead of
taking their profits at present prices.
Against this buying by Europe we
have the world wide prediction that
we are certainly going to make a large
crop. Well, perhaps we may and per-
haps the weather may be bad so we
cannot. But If 1t should be unfavor-
able what would happen? The outside
shorts did not have an opportunity to
cover today.

GENERAL AUVANJtS
IN STOCK MARKET
Bears Attack List Sharply,
Forcing Quotations
Down

New York, March 13.--Prices moved in
an uncertain way on the stock exchange
today, ending the session with general ad-
vances. Bear traders attacked the list
sharply at the outset forcing quotations
down for a time. Depression of the Eu-
ropean markets and absence of foreign
buying fostered bearish sentiment. There
was also a further stiffening of time
money rates. with bids of per cent for
60 day funds Call money rates held firm,
although 5k per gent was the top rate as
compared with yesterday. A further
break occurred in foreign exchange rates,
but in spite of this engagement of $780,
900 gold for Berlin and 100000 for Paris
was announced. Bear traders felt justi-
fed in putting out new lines, but selling
was on a limited scale, and the market
gradually rallied and grew dull
The most positive movement of the day
occurred in the last hour, after q receipt
of the news from Washington that new
plan 70: dissolution of the Hartman
properties mad been presented to the At
torney General with indications that 1t
had been received faroraby. On the
strength of the announcement Union Pa
cific mounted 3 points above its previoas
low level closing with q net gain of 2
points. Southern Pacific, Reading, Steel
and Ainalgamated amounted to gains half
as much as the accompanying rally in the
general list.
New Haven was very weak, falling to
130la. well below the recent low price, the
bottom figures since 1875.
Owing TO the hrmer conditions in the
money market there was some calling of
loans by financial Institutions reflected in
specialties, number OF which were weak
Several OF these stocks including Beet
Sugar ard Corn Products preferred, mad E
new low level records.
Bonds showed some irregularity with
G downward tendency. Total sales, par
value, Sl,4O0,0oo. United States bonds un-
changed on call
