Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New YORK, September 4.-tSpecial. )-Eu-
ropean cables state that they received
many orders from thes outh on lower
basis than that of the closing quotations
here yesterday. Therefore they did not
respond to our advance except in a feeble
manner.
Our market showed reactionary ten
dencies all day, the rallies from the open
ing quotations did not have the vigorous
strength of yesterday as they appeared to
meet hedge selling in larger quantities
than the buying could absorb.
Most commission houses felt the mar
ket was entitled to reaction to a point
where the spinner would become an active
buyer. At the close there was a de-
mand from the sellers of yesterday
though the market had the look of some
further reaction. though there's is no
change in the fundamental facts which
have caused the advance.
