Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 12.-(SpeciaL)-ln the
absence of a generous rainfall over tho
cotton belt the market slowly advanced
some 10 points to close steady points
higher than Saturday.
Cold nights throughout the south Is re-
tarding termination that the trade is
becoming a little uneasy as we approach
the middle of MAY without having Sc
cured good stand for cotton over the en-
tire cotton belt.
European markets will open tomorrow
and il will be interesting 50 see whether
they follow this improvement as they
have been the buyers whenever the mar
ket was depressed during the past two
months.
The local trade is not quite so bearish,
although they think trade conditions in
the United States will prevent any bull
specula tion.

COTTON MARKET
ACTIVE AND Strong
Prices Make New High
Ground After Feature
less Morning

New York, May 12.-The cotton mar
ket developed considerable activity ana
strength after a comparatively fea-
tureless morning and prices made new
high ground for the movement with
the close steady at a net advance OIL
| TO points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of points to decline OF
point Owing to the holiday there were
no cables from Liverpool and the carry
trading here was very quiet. Reports
of scattering showers in the eastern
belt over Sunday and the official fore
cast for continued showers in most
sections east of the river seemed to
encourage some scattered selling, but
general offerings were held in check
by numerous private crop complaints
and continued nervousness as to the
near month situation. owing to fur-
ther shipments from the local stock on
the whole consequently, prices showed
little tendency until around midday
when the detailed weather reports be-
gan to come in. These confirmed prl-
Vate shower reports to some extent
but indicated no general or soaking
precipitation in the eastern belt such
as many regarded desirably while they
also showed unseasonably low temper"
atures with frost noted at some points
In the Carolinas. Scattering shorts APP
peared to become more nervous as
result of the cold weather news and
talk of delayed termination which also
proved the signal for increased sup
port from trade bulls or reactionists
and the market worked sharply high
err July contracts sold up to 11.6Sc,
the best level reached since that po-
sition touched 1L32c toward the end of
April. while the active months gener-
ally worked about to 3 points above
the closing figures of Saturday. Real
izing checked the advance and caused
modera reactions late in the trading.
Liverpool will reopen for business to-
morrow but viii be closed again Fri
day and Saturday.

very good.
The poultry market is still short and
prices continue firm. There is great
demand for fryers and hens. Eggs are in
good demand and while the. supply is
consistent the market is not by any means
oversupplied.
Grain dealers report very good busi-
ness. 1t is said that a new crop of al
falfa is coming from Mississippi and west
Alabama. The crop is only fair. how
ever, on account of the dry weather.
Quite a few changes in the prices of

The Best Club in the World

From Harpers Weekly.
In England the house of commons is
often referred to as "the best club in the
world" If the cost of the accommoda-
tions of a material sort which it fur
nishes to it's members is to be considered.
it must be confessed that there is justf1-
cation for the term.
Members have a luxurious dining room
and cafe. and they can obtain substantial
luncheon for sum equivalent in our
money to a quarter or 40 cents. A good
dinner may be had for about 60 cents
and this includes soup, fish, meat, fowl
salad. pudding, and cheese. The MEM
bers have, too, frst-class bar. This.
like the table, is cheap Whisky plain Is
cents a drink, while whisky and soda
costs only a dime. Wines also are cheap.
A good claret is dispensed for 30 cents
a ouart, and standard brands of cham
pagne range from s150 to 81 bottle.
A recent report of the kitchen commit
tee of the house showed that, In that fs-
cal wear, the restaurant took in s64 900;
the bar, including wines, whisky and
beer. $4,000: the cigar stand. 5000. The
committee made profit of $500 on the
food, but no figures are given as to the
profit on the liquid refreshments.

Age Cheese by Electricity
n the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
Another use has been found for cleo
tricity, that of aging cheese. An in
dustrial electrician of Rotterdam, Hol-
land, through a long series of expert
ments found that he could take abso-
lutely fresh cheese and in one day
actually age it two years In other
words, by means of electricity he would
make this fresh cheese have the con-
sistency taste and appearance of fine
cheese that had been stored away and
lcarefully aged for two years
He takes a fresh cheese and ~. IS
lit to an alternating current. AT the
end of twenty -four hours of constant
alternating electrical currents through
this cheese it possesses all the proper
Aes of a two year old cheese.

FURTHER PRESSURE
AGAINST COALERS
Jersey Central Weakest of
These Issues Which Fell
"a Points to 296

New York, May r. Except for a bear
aiNe' which enlivened trading for a time
IN the early afternoon, the stock market
today was lifeless. Business in the first
hour' usually the most active of the day,
amounted only to $1,000 shares, which gave
promise of the smallest days trading of
the year, but in half an hours active
seiiing later in ,he session the total was
increased largely. Although majority
Oh the prominent stocks sustained only
fractional losses. nearly a score of new
low records for the year were estab-
hshed and issues effected by particular
influences went down by substantial
amounts.
ihefe was further pressure against the
coalers, following the recent Washing
ton reports that further action would..be
taken under the antitrust law against
coal carrying companies. Jersey Central
which fell "A points to 1885, was the weak
es. of these issues. The sugar stocks
were heavy, selling apparently being in
huenced by reports regarding the prob
able action on che sugar schedule in the
new tariff bill A number of the special
ties fell from 1 to B points
Bear traders attempted to force down
Steel on the strength of the unexpectedly
poor showing made by the monthly ton
mage figures, but the stock held up well.
The indication of falling off in the steel
trade contained in the tonnage figures
was supplemented by reports of decreas-
ing activity in other lines of business.
The spread of labor troubles vas cited as
another bear factor. Although speeula-
tive sentiment was in the depressed no
determined effort was. made to force
down the list while a chance remained
that tho supreme court might today hand
down a decision In the Minnesota rate
case. When word came from Washing
weeks without announcing a decision in
weeks withint announcing a decision in
any of the cases of especial interest to
Wall street bear traders felt more secure
In attacking the list.
The tcne of the bond market was easy.
Total sales, par value, Sl,140,000
United States bonds were unchanged on
call. -
