Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 1l.-(SpecialD
While waiting for information from
Washington The local traders have be-
come quiet bearish on the idea that
without additional buying power the
early movement of the crop may cause
a further reaction.
1t Is this thought which caused our
market to slowly decline all day in
face of better advices from Liverpool
than looked for last night
There was a rumor that some of the
German spinners had declined to go on
20 per cent short time. In fact nearly
everybody Is looking for that predicted
pressure upon the markets of the in
coming crop, spinners and merchants
alike, neither of whom have any cot
ton They missed buying before the ad-
vance and now they believe by waiting
little longer at time when other
buyers are intimated by what might
happen In Washington, they can buy
cheaper
AT The low point the largest houses
We're buyers.

History as Taught in Chicago

Prom the st. Paul Despatch.
Chicago. in honor of the Perry cele-
bration, has been decked with banners
bearing the inscription Don't give up
the ship
One man familiar with history inquired
why It was that the famous words OF
Captain Lawrence should be used so con-
spicuoosly in the Perry celebration, and
the Chicago Tribune says Because the
history of the United States is so little
known to it's citizens"
The famous words. of course, were used
by Lawrence, as he carried. mortally
wounded, from the Chesapeake. Perry
had the phrase on the flag at his mast
head at the battle of Lake Erie, so 1t is
nit unnatural perhaps, that there should
be some confusion as to their origin.
But a historic celebration of the scope
and character should be historically ac-
curate In it's details.

UNION PACIFIC
SUFFERS REVERSAL
Increased Selling Of Steel in
AfternOOn-MOney Rates
Hold Strong

New York, September 11.-Speculation
was colorless today with narrow move
ment downward. Trading lacked the Wig
orous tone of yesterday, but there was
no severe pressure of stocks and the
small decline which occurred was due
largely to realizing sales following the
rise of the preceding session. 1t was
a day devoid of important developments.
The undertone throughout was good.
Union Pacifics buoyant rise of yester-
day made it target and it showed
loss of nearly 2 points at its low figure.
Although yesterdays rise was based on
rumors of a cash bonus for stockholders,
the quotation was not affected by the
announcement that the directors had
taken no action to distribute the pro-
ceeds of the roads Southern Pacific hold
ings.
In the afternoon there was increased
selling of Steel and Amalgamated, but
toward the close the market stiffened.
Sentiment was cheerful. While specula-
tors saw no reason for bidding up prices
the support with which the market met
on declines was cited as evidence of the
trend of feeling The favorable showing
VI the steel anu copper stdteihenls, ehu-
Ing of the drouth in some portions Of
the cornbelt, and the recent improve
ment in the investment market were all
referred to as indicating a betterment In
fundamental conditions.
Weakness of the grain markets was
made the basis for bidding up the gran
gers in the late trading.
Money rates held steady around recent
levels. A large outflow of cash to the
interior, rejecting the normal autumn de-
mand, is now expected Banks put out
most of their money on call but showed
some inclination to make concessions in
acceptance of high grade mercantile
paper.
Bonds continued to show irregularity
with signs of profit taking in some spec
ulative issues. Total sales, par value

Papier Mache Auto Bodies

Papier macle seemingly is about to
enter upon q new field of usefulness.
An English chemist comes forward with
this suggestion: "Why not employ papie'
mache in the manufacture of automobile
bodies? The framework of the body, for
instance, might be built up of netting
and light steel braces with the papier
stices of the netting. says the New York
Press Such body would be lighter
than a steel body. less expensive to build
than an aluminium one and strong
enough.
incidentally. papier mache is capable
of being highly finished. and it is qnite
lrobable that enamel would show less
tendency to chip OF. fake OFF it than when
metal Is used.''
