Hubbard Rros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. April 27.-tSpecial )-The market today ruled weaker, caused by the reported action of the English gov ernment in prohibiting the export or cotton from Great Britain to any other country expecting the allied countries,
 Spain and Portugal. The usual exports from Great Britain average about 12O,- 900 bales a week. a large portion being
 in the past through cotton passing Into
 Liverpool and out through Hull to the northeast countries. Whether this order
 creates cotton for the Scandinavian countries contraband is not stated In our cables. The trade both in Liverpool and here are bearish. They have been un- able to see any cause for the advance
 to these prices and they are continually
 looking for a factor to cause decline.
 Therefore when this order was received
 both markets were heavily sold on the
 idea that this was the needed factor.
 Tonight they are looking for lower
 prices and paying no attention to the
 reported reduction in acreage and in the
 use of fertilizers now being printed in
 the newspapers.

NEW YORK COTTON
 MARKET NERVOUS
Scattering Liquidation and Lower Cables Consider
 ably Affect Prices

New York. April 27.-Cotton was nervous and unsettled with prices lower under scattering liquidation. local and foreign selling. Closed steady at net decline of to II points
 Opened steady at decline of to points on lower cables and estimates that notices had been issued against soo0O bales of the local stock on May con tracts. As anticipated. however, local spot people appeared to be taking up the notices at the prevailing May discount under July. and the market firmed up right after the call, active months selling back to within or 8 points of last night s closing. There was heavy Liverpool sell ing on this rally followed by private ca bles reporting Great Britain had prohib- tied exports of cotton from the United Kingdom to all Europe except Russia, France. Spain and Portugal. That com plication In conditions in foreign distribu- ton seemed to unsettle local sentiment and prices weakened sharply during the afternoon with active months selling about 15 to l9 points net lower.
 Reports of clearing weather southwest may have encouraged some of the selling on the decline and the appearance of sell ing orders in the hands of some of the more prominent spot house brokers also strengthened reaetionary sentiment, which was more or less generally expressed around the ring.
 At the decline of about Ss points from high levels of last week. however, offer ings became less active and last prices were several points up from the lowest on short covering and scattering de- mand, which may have been inspired by expectations of bulish weekly weather report tomorrow.
 Detailed weather reports showed con tinued lack of moisture in the eastern belt. and some private reports reiterated claims of substantial reduction of acre. age in Texas and Oklahoma.

STOCKS ARE ACTIVE AT VALUES EXPENSE
Extensive Selling Move ment in Last Hour
 Wipes Out Gains

New York. April 27.-Such activity as was manifested by today's stock market was almost wholly at the expense of quoted values. Trading in the first half was the lightest of any day for several weeks, but in the last hour an extensive selling movement wiped out good part of the early gains and caused some net tlosses.
 Selling was preceded by reports on ltal- ian political developments. There were some recoveries from lowest, notably in United States Steel, but the closing was distinctly irregular
 Steel was the chief feature of the ses- sion, reassuming its place as leader. It registered small decline at first, but grew steadily stronger and was at Its best when late liquidation checked its course.
 Coppers were less prominent than here tofore, despite a higher quotation for the metal Investment issues in the railway division evinced firmer tendency until pvertaken by concerted liquidation.
 Total sales of stocks, 673,ooo
 Bonds were fairly firm on a moderate amount of dealings. Total sales, par val ue, aggregated s, 5S40O0.
