Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. April 7.-tSpecial)-A fire in Liverpool. together with brisk conti- mental buying, opened the foreign mar lSet decidedly above parity this morning. As result of these better foreign ad- vices our market ruled decidedly higher again, advancing under a demand from the spot people to the previous high prices reached on Saturday.
 There was sufficient selling at this level from the south to hold the market in check during the late trading. which was, however at the best prices of the day.
 Another spell of unsettled weather has appeared southwest of the belt. which led to considerable strength in the fall months.
 The market is now advancing more rap- idly than the southern market, so that we think some caution is necessary in fol- lowing the sharp advances.
