Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. December 1.--(Special.) Although cables were lower than due today on hedge selling in Liverpool against purchases of spots from the south, there was sufficient demand from the short interest existing in this mar ket to prevent a decline in sympathy with Europe. After the opening moro buying orders from Wall street interests made their appearance which together with rumors that the Nationaal Ginners report for the past period would be very bullish. caused a further advance, carrying the May position over 13 cents.
 Quite naturally. considerable long cotton was for sale on this advance, which supplied the demand, the market easing off. closing very setady at some 10 points above last night. The trade is badly mixed as to the future course of prices but we must bear in mind that as we approach the government crop report and the next ginning. the tend- ency will be to even up commitments which should hold the market steady around these price.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-02

New York, December 1.--(Special) Liverpoops disappointing cables today were not fully reflected in New York opening prices, showing declines of but to 3 points. Good buying appeared directly after the opening call and an advance of about 25 points followed. To- wards the close, however, liquidation and short selling caused decline of about 12 points from the best figures. As we stated yesterday we think the situation sufficiently strong to justi- fly purchases on all very moderate de- clines of quick upturns of 20 points or more, but we do not expect any ma terial sustained advance at present; in other words, 1t is likely to be good trading market, purchase on declines and a sale on rallies for moderate prof it's. We have been very bullish on oil for the three months; we now believe, however, that the market has done It's best temporarily and expect May to re- cede to around cents. possibly some what lower, pending absorption of southern spot oil or improvement in the Chicago lard situation.

Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presi-
dents eldest daughter and Miss
Helen Woodrow : Bones, his cousin,
are said to have ;dfawn sher into the
White House circle in the early au-
tumn of 1914. From that time, SHE
was frequent guest at the executive
mansion and last summer spent a
month as the guest of Margaret Will
son at the summer Waite House at
Cornish, N. H. The engagement was
announced on October 6, not long af-
ter the presidential party returned to
Washington for the winter. -
both tie President and his bride
agreed not to have their wedding in
the White House but in her home
near Dupont circle which sometimes
is called the social hub of the capital.
She lives there in a tastefully ar
ranged house, somewhat small by
comparison with the mansions which
surround it. It is not large enough
for entertaining on an extended scale
and for that reason large company
was not invited to tle wedding. Mr..
McAdoo, the Presidents son-in-law,
was the only member of the Cabine:
included in the party. The rest werc
all relatives.
The repeatedly expressed wish of
t:e couple for quiet wedding unat-
tended by any great amount of pub
licity is responsible for the general
lack of comnon knowledge Of so
many Of the details which attend such
a. ceremony. No public announce
ments have been made of the gifts
received and likewise there has been
no announcement of the gowns and
decorations. New York dressmakers
have been frequently during the last
few weeks at the White House and at
the brides .aome and she has made
one or two shopping trips out of the
city to complete her trousseau.
