Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 1S.-tSpecial) }
The appearance of q high barometer on
the Pacific coast led the weather
prophets to predict a very cold wave
over the cotton belt before Tuesday 50
that while the frost foreshadowed last
evening did not materialize the market
about held the closing prices of Fri
day.
Although the decline in Liverpool
called for a IL or 10 point lower mar
ket here today 1t was a small market
with the trade bearish and looking for
q decline until the study of the weather
map brought the predictions men
toned.

Heavy Marketing of Cattle.

When a few weeks ago the western
states suffered from severe drought,
covering practically the entire range of
the cattle breeding country from whicl
the United States derives it's meat SUD-
ply. the fear was expressed that the
result would be 4 later scarcity in beef
stock. A dispatch from Kansas City.
printed Sunday, indicates that this fear
is we'll founded. and that the country
is likely to suffer seriously from a de-
iiciency in meat supplies. During the
past week over $4,000 head Of cattle
were received at Kansas City. this
being within about ESQ head of the
worlds record OF cattle receipts, es-
tablished at Chicago twenty-five years
ago. This tremendous movement of
cattle is due directly to the scarcity of
pasture and corn. The grazers cannot
carry through the winter their usual
number of animals. for feed is certain
to be high during the next few months.
Consequently they are shipping their
herds to the live stock markets now, to
get what prices they can command for
their animals before the high cost OF
feeding Is felt. This heavy shipment
may make fer somewhat lower meat
prices Immediately, but the subsequent
effect cannot fail to be disastrous. In a
great many cases the grazers are send

Well done that the work i'll the main

The complaint at that time was that
the minority was too powerful; that it
could halt business almost at its pleas

Speaker Reed held that the majority

charged with the responsibility for bust
ness. should be able at any time to clear
the path for business. The Reed rules
corrected the trouble complained of.
y few years ago an outcry arose
against what was called ''Cannonism.
Mr., Cannon was Speaker administering
the Reed rules. and it was complained
that they made him the master of the
House. that through appointing the COM

They kept their promise, and deprived
the Speaker of the power to name the

organized the House fairly and been a
valuable member of the rules committee,
became merely a presiding officer with
the right TO descend to the floor and par

But did that change produce what the
democrats had promised? The answer

When Japan struck at China nineteen
years ago, regarding the suzerainty over
Korea. she met a weak giant, incapable
of defending itself. The campaign OF
1904 was a revelation to those who were
inclined to judge military strength solely
or chiefly in terms Of area and popula-
ton. Japan proved Chinas superior in
every respect making for war mastery,
and her subdual demonstrated that a ver-
table power had developed in the far east
But during these two decades much has
occurred in China. and the China of today
is not that Of the nineties. The Boxer re-
volt brought about one reimbursement.
The palace revolution and subsequent re-
action advanced China by singular proc
ess nearer to modern methods. Finally
came the recent revolution the establish
ment of republic and the later trouble
between the geographical factions. and
all these events have produced closer
semblance to q true nation of Cinnamon
than has ever been known before
Yet divided as it is today. China may
be In no position to meet any advance
Japan may make in retribution for the
wrongs and insults suffered at Marking.
There is jealousy in every part of the
government and there is much treachery.
The Cinnamon have not yet learned 10y
atty to the state central. while animated
by an intense loyalty to the state i'm
mediate. They are still. as compared
with the Japanese. an unlimited mass.
which cannot be moved In any one direc-
ton save by appeal to the old barbaric
hatreds. This does not make for eff
cheney, for it does not yield the basis for
military discipline. AS a horde the
Chinese, even in their more advanced
state OF today. would be comparatively
easy for the we'll trained, highly disci
pliued and efficient Japanese. fired by
the prospect of n continental extension
and burning with the sense of ancient
wrongs. a lamentable spectacle would
be presented if these two peoples fell
10 fighting.

Two Tariff Conferences.

The tariff conference has begun. with
the best of feeling existing between
the House and the Senate democrats.
Mr.. Underwood and Mr.. Simmons have
congratulated each other, and the
President has congratulated both. on
the near approach of the final vote. A
new tariff law will soon be on the
books
AS the conference proceeds there may
be some earnest exchanges over this
or that Senate amendment, but prob
ably none of an angry character. In
many instances the Senate has low
cred the House rates, and contro-
versies will thus be confined largely
to the amount of revenue to be raised.
There are practically no differences
to be adjusted about the general prin-
ciples of taxation.
1t is likely, as The Star predicted the
other day, that the House will yield
III IA large number of the cases, The
Scnates majority is SO small it can be
quoted very effectively by the Senate
conferees as reason why the work
| which has required four months should
not now be changed. Practically, there
fore. as twenty years ago, the Sem
ate will have its way.
But in no other particular does this
conference resemble that of the earlier
day. Then the House conferees with
| the President supporting them. were
at daggers drawn with the Senate con-
ferees, and war was on. Mr.. Cleve-
land had denounced the Senate's work
as showing .perfidy and dishonor.' and
Mr.. German had denounced Mr.. Cleve-
land in open Senate in terms strong
he had. through a feeling of good
| taste. softcned them for the Congress
sional Record.
| The Senate won. 1t was put up to the
| House to say whether the result should
be the Senate bill or no bill, and the
