Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, January 24.-(Special)
While the ginners' report of yesterday
had depressing effect upon both mar >
lsets sentiment today drew away from
the influence of figures and became
bullish on the reports of greater con-
fidence in general trade.
Liverpool advices were poor but at
the decline here of 10 points spot
houses were buyers and the advance
to the close was due to eevning up
transaction with a moderate though in
creasing speculative demand.
On the advance some hedge selling
appeared but the absorption was easy.
Crop estimates are advanced slightly
with 141s thought probable and A
greater demand is expected than this
will meet
The spot demand in the south is at
tributed to covering OF earlier sales to
spinners. The following is one of con-
fidence.

RECOVERY AFTER
LOWER OPENING
Following Firm UndertOne
Activity Develops; A tot
Points Net Rise

New Orleans, January 24.--After lower
opening today the cotton market re-
covered and went to net advance. The
ring was not active liz the early trading
and much of the business done was the
result of the desire of longs to even
up over the weekend Later, however,
the market acquired a firm undertone,
the ring became active and good vol
ume of business came in, much of 1t
being the result of fresh buying for long
account.
This switching of sentiment was caused.
in no small measure. by reports from
states in the western belt that seed for
planting purposes was too poor to be
of any use. Reports from Texas were
that the situation in this respect was
serious. Attention was called to the new
crop by the claims of bears that rains
of the last few days were extremely
beneficial because they put the soil In
good condition for plowing. Traders who
were at first inclined to sell because
of rains turned into buyers on the poor
seed complaints.
A continued good spot demand, predic-
tions of large mill takings In the future,
exports to Japan of 1900 bales and the
large amount of cotton on shipboard in
this port awaiting clearance-60O0 bales
against 10000 a year ago-were features
that resulted in more or less buying
The market opened steady at a loss
of to points on poor cables. Hquida-
tion of the long account was rather
heavy In the early trading, but the low
est levels reached We're 5 to 0 points
down. The market quickly recovered this
loss and went 6 to points over yester-
days final quotations. The close was at
net rise of to Z points

To Rub Them Ouf

A funny story is being told in medical
circles, says Parsons Weekly.
A man went to a "quaolk' doctor for
treatment. He had a sharp pain Internal
ly, and remarked that IL might be caused
by his habit of sucking the point of a
lead pencil. The e"quao<'' said he was
suffering from lead poisoning. and gava
him some pills which he said would cure
him. Next day the man came back very
angry.
"A friend of mine has examined tina
pills you gave me-" he said. "and they
are only hreadl"
"Of course, they are" was the bland
reply. Don't you know that bread is
the finest thing to remove pencil marks
with? You didn't want me to give you
India rubber pills, did you2"

EARLY DECLINE IN
COTTON MARKET
Prices Rally Later on Bullish
Southern Spot Advices
and Covering

New York. January 24-Renewal of yes
terdays selling movement caused an
early decline in cotton. but prices later
rallied on bullish southern spot advices
and covering. with the close very steady
at a net advance of l to points.
Cables were lower than due and 1t
was reported that yesterdays break in
raw material had checked the demand
for cotton yarns but the chief selling
here on the opening decline of to 3
points seemed to be on overnight Or
ders, inspired by the break OF the pre-
vious day and the bearish view of gin
ming figures. Offerings were well taken
around the opening prices, which showed
reaction of some 25 to 30 points from
high levels of the week and the mar
| ket soon became steadier
Business was not active and most of
the demand seemed to come from shorts,
but there was some scattered commits
sion buying or support from trade
sources and the market gradually worked
| to shade over yesterdays closing The
final prices We're within point or two
of the best. Private cables attributed
the decline in Liverpool to liquidation.

break,
Reports from the south indicated no
change in the firm ruling of the spot
markets. This probably promoted part

settled sentiment as to the more i'm
mediate course of prices, selling was evi-

of the spot situation.

RUMORED SHORTAGE
IN ARGENTINA CROP
Assertions Have Bullish Eff
feet on Prices; 3-Sc to 1-2c
Above Friday

Chicago, January H.--Assertions that
the wheat crop in Argentina would be
only about so per cent of last year S
total had builish effect today on prices
here. The market closed firm, asQ1bc
above last night. Corn gained 14dssc net,
and oats 1sqhc. In provisions the out
come was unchanged to 12lse up.
Radical pessimistic ideas about the Ar
gentina wheat yield were given currency
by one of the principal houses and were
said to be based on facts gathered by
an expert who made an extended trip
throughout the chief wheat growing
provinces of the South American repub-
lie. He declared the quality of the crop
so poor that Europe would be compelled
to come to America for wheat to blend
with Argentina imports
Shutting down of immediate demands
for ocena shipments acted as a check
on the rise There was no important
reaction in prices, the majority of trad
ers being convinced that, even aside from
the extreme opinions as to Argentina,
the upturn was justified by crop dam
age in France and by the danger from
lack of snow protection in the United
States winter crop belt.
Corn rose because OF the bulge in wheat
Prospects for more seasonable tempera-
lures counted also against the bears.
Heavy stocks were partly offset by the
fact that receipts had noticeably tapered
down.
Oats reflected the strength of other
grain. Transactions were on a limited
scale.
Higher prices at the yards gave pro-
visions lift. Realizing of profits by
holders kept the advance within mod
crate bounds

REACTION COMES|N
! THESTOCK MARKET
Count for Both Accounts i'm
Liquidation Weakens
Stocks

New York, January 24-Count for
both accounts in liquidation weakened
the stock market today. The tone was
heavy throughout the principal part of
the halliday session and most of the
active shares were forced down a point
or so. The rise of the week had ex-
tended to a point which made a reac-
tion probable and today's counts were
regarded as merely normal pause in
the upward swing.
That the market still possessed un-
derlying strength was indicated by the
ease with which the offerings at the
lower levels were coming out and alb
sorbed.
The list grew steardier after the
sharp set back at the opening and
trading contracted as quotations de-
clned.
The tendency to take the large profits
shown on long stock was more pro-
nounced because of Washington re-
ports that important developments re-
garding the Mexican situation soon
might bccur. Traders preferred to close
their trade rather than run the risk of
unfavorable happenings over the week
The effect of this selling on the list
was increased by renewed operations
on the short side.
1t was apparent that extensive COW
ering recently had reduced the short
interest to considerable extent de-
priving the market of support from that
source such as it has had during the
last few days.
Traders chose to get away. Some of
the high grade stocks consequently
fell.
Some of the favorites made large
gains in quotations. National Biscuit
was bid over points to the accom-
paniment of reports of an extra divi-
dend.
The Consolidated Gas and American
Sugar shares also moved up strongly.
While the expected large gain in
cash amounting to s16,O00,000 was
shown in the bank statement, 1T was
more than offset by the increase in
reserve requirements, due to an ex-
pansion of $S5,000.000 in actual de-
posits so that there was decrease in
surplus of more than $4,000, ,000
This change was due primarily to a
S73,000,000 increase in loans, the re-
suit in large part of financing New
York states $51 ,000 900 bond issue put
out this week
