Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 2s.--(Special. )-Cables this morning were lower than due and our market opened easier on these ad- vices and owing to pessimistic cables from the other side in reference to the political situation.
 Weather conditions are unfavorable for the crop as no rain fell in the southwest and temperatures were again high. More over, the weekly weather report made rather a bullish showing.
 Domestic trade was good buyer. sustaining the market early. However. these factors were entirely overshadowed by the war situation, and when it be- came known at noon that Austria had formally declared war upon Servia there was sharp break in the securities mar ket with the demoralization extending into cotton. prices closing easy at the lowest for the day.
 It is impossible to foretell what the inn mediate course of the market will be- as that depends so largely upon the develop ments in Europe.

WHOLESALE TRADE
 ISFA|RLY GOOD Demand Rather Slack for Produce and Poultry. Peaches Are Plentiful

Business in most lines on Morris ave- nue is fairly good. the meat sales show ing improvement this week. The pro- duce and poultry trade, however, has slackened. Supplies are light with the exception of peaches and melons, which are quite plentiful. Fancy Albertas ar rive daily in large quantities from Georgia and sales are large. Lemon quotations are low, and the market is we'll stocked. while the demand is only moderate. Most of the lemons sold on the Birmingham market are produced in Italy.
