Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 7-kverpool was affected by Manchester spinners fix ing prices on cotton they had previously earmarked so little cotton is finding it's way toward that market. partially through belief in lower prices earlier in the season and partially through high freights and war insurance that the sup- ply is rapidly diminishing so far as immediate delivery Is a matter of inter- est to the spinners,
 Here. there was more or less liqui- dation before the ginners' report tomorrow because for sometime past the publi- cation of a government crop estimate has resulted in lower market the follow ing day. As we will have another esti- mate on Friday the situation Is con- fused It is apparent. however. that Manchester is using more cotton than at first thought possible. either for war purposes or for the distant markets.

gerous'y low It is also figured that American mill requirements this season will be at least S,000000 bales. Tn our opinion both spots and futures will reach new high levels during the next 60 days, with no extreme or permanent decline possible. Meantime oil worked into new high ground today. We believe May will cross the cents shortly and expect 1t ma terially above that figure before it's ex- piration. We favor purchase of May and .July.

Avery's Letter

About the only news feature today vas the stiff Liverpool and strength in spots. Liverpool certainly leads the way these days. Operators there were said to be the chief buyers in our mar ket again, today, undoing straddles.
 The unsoid stock at that point Is said to be down to about 350.0O0 bales. This confirms what I have repeatedly said, namely they will have to buy some cot ton soon or close up shop. The 2-cent q pound freight rate is what is holding the 'Englishers'' of. However, with Manchester doing a rushing business 1t Is not likely they will quit running for want Of some cotton.
 The textile news indicates the American mills are consuming cotton at the rate of 7.216O00 bales per year. This goes ne 100000 better, but I said 1t first This is an offset in a measure to the re- stricted exports.
 There was; some profit taking on the close by longs who preferred not to go over the bureau with any cotton
 The general expectation in New York is for ginning figures around y9O0, GOO. My opinion Is they Will be disappointed about 2o0,00O bales, as I look for gin nings to be about S.700.V00 and expect to see the market advance on it.
