Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 29.-(Special. }
Apparently the absorbing of the no.
tees yesterday was unexpected by the
trade for prices have shown a steady
Improvement since and today on the
small trading and disposition to even
up at the weekend, the undertone has
been good and the close at the best.
Spinners taking show well and are
significant In view of the price of cot
ton and the decrease In trade here and
abroad.
Stocks generally are low and confi-
dence Is only needed to stimulate ac-
tivity.
Foreign adyices were poor but did
not affect the market here material
ly. Outside business was lacking trad
ing local.
A bullish crop estimate the 18th IS
suggested and should that happen the
needed stimulus may be found.

CLEARING WEATHER
IN THE ARGENTINE
Wheat Heavy as Result; /;
3-S@1-2c to 5-s03-4c
Under Previous Night

Chicago. November 29.-Clearing wealth.
er in Argentina. much desired for the
harvest there had bearish effect today
on the price of wheat. The market
closed heavy ssasz to ssQs4c under last
night. Corn finished 1sdl4 to 1sqssc down
and oats off 1sda4c. In provisions the out
come varied from 714Qd0c decline to SC
advance.
Although there was a prospect that
wheat deliveries here Monday will be
light, many small holders appeared anxi-
Gus to unload. Incentive for doing so
was found not only in the improved har-
vest conditions for Argentina, but in
reports that the new Australian crop
was being freely offered in Europe. Be-
sides, continued moisture over the winter
crop belt in the United States was re-
garded as highly favorable to growth.
Despite huge shipments from Lake
Superior the stocks at western terminal
ports were said to be of unusual bulk for
a time so near the close of navigation.
In this connection good deal of interest
was taken In the fact that one of the
largest grain companys here confirmed
having leased the railroad elevators at
Depot Harbor, Ontario. The lease was
said to be the first step toward invasion
of Canadian markets on an extensive
scale by American grain interests
Corn suffered from a selling drive by
alert bears seizing on the circumstances
that few of the larger longs were try
ing to let go of lines which had grown
burdensome. All of an early advance due
to unsettled weather was wiped out and
there was a decided further break. Signs
pointed to liberal arrivals next week
Liquidating sales by longs weakened oats.
The big store on hand here and at other
prominent points discouraged the bulls.
Realizing, hedging and short selling
combined to make a weak trade in pro-
visions despite strength at the yards.
Packers reported the fresh meat trade
poor.

Goodrich Preferred Makes
New Low Record

New York. November 29.-Conditiors
We're virtually unchanged today in the
stock market, which continued to move
listlessly with small volume of bust
ness on hand.
Representative stocks barely moved al
though there was a slight scaling down
of prices, which gave the market an
easy tone. As
The only movements of importance were
among the specialties, a number of which
We're weak. The most conspicuous was
Goodrich preferred, which fell points,
to 1874. a new low record. Subsequently
it recovered part of its loss. The COM
mon stock dropped nearly points to
15ls, also a new low record.
Earlier in the year the preferred stock
sold at los and the common at 6S, while
under fire.
The pronounced weakness of these
shares gave rise to rumors that the divi-
dend on the preferred might be reduced
but the rumor was denied officially The
Can issues, Rumely and various other in
dustrials were sluggish. In the railroad
list Missouri Pacific was weakest. 1t
equalled it's lowest record of the year.
The weeks exceptionally heavy out
ward movement of currency to Canada
and the Pacific coast was chiefly respon-
sible for the poor showing made in the
fbank statement
Predictions of a cash loss of $4,000, 900
were realized, the amount reaching nearly
S2l,000000.
Loans were cut down $16,0oO00O. Shrink
Ing in deposits of nearly $3S, 100000 did
not reduce reserve requirements suffi-
ciently to prevent the wiping out of the
surplus The result was a deficit very
small. Trade reviews showed retrench-
ment and Conservatism in business for
the new season. Canadian Pacific re-
ported an increase in net earnings for
October of $541, ,0o0 but Rock Island showed
deficit of $2SS,000 in it's lineup.
Bonds were easy. Total sales. par value
$4,000. United States bonds were un-
changed on call for the week.
