Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 4.-(Special.) Liverpool opened better than expected due. our cables tell us, to smaller offer lngs from the south, but during the last hour were freely sold by the spot houses, closing barely steady at the lowest prices.
 In this market the recent decline has created bearish sentiment. which feels confident that the cotton in the south will soon press heavily for sale. They point to the weather as increasing the crop prospects, nevertheless, the market today was not as weak in undertone as during the past week and there appeared to be enough investment buying to ab- 'sorb the offerings.
 rather better tone to Liverpool is expected tomorrow.
