Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April 15.-(Special.) THE
market has been steady during the day
despite the increasing bearish sentiment
and new selling from Wall street sources.
Predictions of much lower prices are cur
rent and the increasing difference between
prices here and abroad is ignored. Bus-
ness is more general but without much
activity and yesterdays buying was fol-
lowed by selling today. though prices re-
gained their first edecllne
There is no special feature beyond the
general pessimistic feeling with a. short
interest accommodating. The decline in MAY
deliveries is noticeable.
