Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter
New York, February 13.-tSpecial.)
Reports from abroad were better than
expected and in response our market
opened with a good tone even higher
and improved to the close. which was
at about the highest figures.
The course of prices indicated that
the present level will probably be but
little lower TIL more weighty pressure
is exerted. A short interest has de-
veloped. the bulls have been dispirited
and trade demands appear sufficient
to hold the market well In check. New
Orleans showed marked Improvement
as well as the foreign markets and bull
ish statistics were now considered more
than before.
The weather south is unsettled and
the temper Is decidedly averse to de-
cline though speculation Is local and
buying restricted.

Washington, May 2S.-It was an
nounced at the white house today that
although no formal agreement for
the racifcation of Mexico has been
received from Niagara Falls, the re-
ports from the American delegates
sent III as each step has been TAKEN
have been so favorable that the points
already decided upon can be assem-
bled into a definite agreement very
soon.
Some of the most dangerous fea-
lures, which must enter any final pro-
tocol. are still omitted from the agreed
points. but the administration is hope
full. despite this.
The Carranza agents today renewed
their conferences with Secretary Bry-
an and said they had taken DEFINITE
steps to enter the mediation confer
ence.
