also emphasized by Judge Reiter. who
said that the board of directors is now
trying to work out plan by which the
members can be served with noon day
luncheon in the club rooms.
The meeting did not adjourn without
hearing a number of complaints about
glaring abuses which are daily occur

whole community. The first of these
was made by John Glennon proprietor

Hubbard Bros. & Cos Letter

New York, November 6-(Special with
the exception of considerable selling by
outside local interests the market was
without feature. but this selling was more
than enough to supply the demand and
prices yielded, with the close at the
lowest.
Speculation in general is meager, and
the trade waits for the ginning report of
the sth, and is influenced by rumors of
large crop estimate by reliable travelling
observer.
Fair buying is to be noted, as the cur
rent guesses of the Saturday report seem
to justify the belief in rapid marketing
OF the crop. Reports are confusing, a
short interest is increasing. but no
upturn is in sight, though one easily
might be enacted.
Gables reported good business on a
steady market.

COTTON DULL At A
MODERATE DECLINE
A Crop Estimate Report of
Over 100000 Bales
Sends Market Down

New Orleans. November 6.--The cotton
market was dull at a moderate decline
during the greater part of the session.
In the afternoon selling increased and
the decline was materially widened on the
report that a local crop expert would
come out in the morning with a crop es-
innate of 15.30O,OO0 bales and the state
ment that the recent cold weather did
little or no damage In the Atlantic states.
Traders who were bullishly inclined crit
icised this rumored report sharply but
it encouraged short selling among the
bears.
The market opened steady. 1 point up
to down, compared with yesterdays
close. Cables were a shade better than
due but bulls offered little or no support
and the market had a tendency TO de-
cline from the first call. The weather
map was better than expected. as IL Ie-
hected none of the rains which private
reports claimed fell In the we .tern belt
yesterday and last night. In the morn
ing 1t was rumored that the local expert
referred to above was about to give out a
crop estimate of 100000 bales. Consid-
cradle selling was done on this, and at
noon the market stood s to 10 points
down. In the afternoon the market had
to take fairly heavy selling under which
prices were forced II to IS points under
the closing level of yesterday. The close
was steady at net loss for the day of
16 to Is points.
