Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 15.-Good showers occurred in Georgia and South Caro- lima with some light showers in North Carolina over Sunday
 The Times Democrat reports were considered bullish.
 European advices were hardly as good as expected while here liquida- ton of the July position came upon a market which was looking for new buyers rather than sellers.
 Under Nhese conditions July closes nearly 20 points lower with January 15 points down. Throughout the day the felling was more depressed than for sometime past through the failure of the sellers of July to replace their holdings by purchases of the distant months.
 As for the crop conditions they are fairly favorable. The Mississippi val ley, Alabama and North Carolina still needs more rain. Otherwise the crop might be said to be doing as we'll as could be expected after its setbacks at the start

eoloring which had faded in a fancy pil- low. The cover Is tan denim, and the red sateen ruffling. when washed, ran in- 10 the tan. The pillow was worked beau tifully and I am anxious of removing this stain if possible. Also advise me f washing pillow in gasoline tends more To give it the appearance of being new than if il was washed in soap and wa ter. 1 have waited patiently for your answer to the above and hope that my patience will soon be rewarded.
 "E. c. S."
 To the first count of your indictment plead not guilty. A full reply to your query concerning the pillow went from my desk weeks ago. As must sometimes happen. 1t has probably been crowded out by other matter. and 1t may be printed later. Watch the Corner. Gasoline leaves no stain of washing if the cleansing be properly done. It does not fade the fab ric or stain. Soap and water are almost sure to leave trace. Thank you for patient waiting and for giving me chance to clear myself from the charge of neglect to valued correspondent.

PRICES WEAKEN IN THE COTTON MARKET Selling Is Based on Better Weather and the Weekly
 Crop Summary
Rate Rid tvl,ad

New Orleans, June 15.-Priees weak ened in the cotton market under sellin based partly on improvement in weather conditions over the belt and partly in anticipation of favorable weekly crop summary from Washington tomorrow Around the opening and for while in the early afternoon offerings were fair ly we'll absorbed, but there were times when the market displayed heaviness. The close was at practically the worst of the day, a loss of Is to IT points. The market stood at decline through out the session.
 More short selling made it's appear ance than has been usual of late, and bearish comment was that the market was overbought and in danger of run ming into a wide reaction downward if news from the belt continued to im- prove. Reports from the interior indi- cated that the crop was being brought to a high state of cultivation. Showers in the eastern belt were considered favorable.

Following the successful experience of the University of Chicago. the Ma rion institute announces that it will conduct a summer session and that courses will thus be conducted practi- cally for the entire 12 months.

 The courses for the summer session have been arranged especially for young men and young women in high school and college who wish to pre- pare for university entrance. to re- move conditions and failures in studies, and to secure advanced standing. Thus students who are deficient in their col lege work and students who are not completely prepared to enter college next September can secure special training with individual instruction ana private tutoring at Marion. The Ma rion institute will not undertake any work in the normal school field to pre- pare teachers for examination. The number of courses and students will be limited and emphasis will be given to the quality and thoroughness of the Instruction.
