Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. September 8.-(Special) )--The market ruled quiet and steady until the receipt of the weekly crop report from
 Washington, when, as 1t was stated to bo unfavorable. prices slowly advanced, closing steady. some IS points higher. than yesterday. The trade returns from Man chester show that more than average business Is going on with the rest of the world with the exception of yarns which are not being exported to the coun- tries out of the war. Apparently spin ners in Manchester have no large stock of cotton on hand as they continue to buy freely in Liverpool each day. There Is rather better feeling in New England brought about by a better demand for goods. Altogether. the movements today have been orderly. based on crop reports and trade conditions rather than buying for a rapid advance. Some doubt Is ex- pressed at the ability of the market to take the hedges from southern shippers who naturally find business difficult un- der war conditionA but the extreme bear- lsh feeling has disappeared with rather more hopeful views being expressed. {.

NAT GOODWINS BOOK.

By Nat c. Goodwin. Illustrated. Rich
 ard c. Badger. the Gorham Press.
 publishers, Boston.
 No more important literary work has been given to the world within the past few years than MT Nat c. Good wins book which is entitled, Nat Goodwin's Book
 Nat C. Goodwin, the eminent com edian, the polished gentleman. the erudite scholar turned author plays for the first time in his life this im- portant role and certainly it stacks up" by the side of his inimitable cre- ations of histrionic value. as cleverly. Rs charmingly and as entertainingly Rs any role he has ever essayed.
 Nat Goodwin's Book" is an account of the stage for the past 40 years. re- veaIing many sides of many well known actors and actresses heretofore un- known and given now through his per sonal acuuaintance and intimate friend rehip with them.
 The book is a book of memoirs, in other words, and forms one of the most Remarkable autobiographies ever writ ten. There is hardly any actress or &C., tor on the American stage whom MT. Goodwin has not known well and of them he talks delightfully."- with many an anecdote and quip and jest.
 His own life has been full of vicis- situres.
 He has acted comedy and tragedy on the stage and he has known comedy and tragedy in his own private, per eonaI career
 His marriage relations rave been very much gossiped about.
 The .interviewer's' favorite question when he meets the distinguished gen- tleman is:
 Are you married yet or again?"
 His financial experiences have been exploited notoriously.
 His personal career has been full of sneep interest from every standpoint.
 Of all these things he writes ia his book and writes with an open pen ttraight from the heart
 The book contains many rare illus trations, portraits from the collection of Mr. Goodwin.
 The reviewer having had the pleasure of very delightful personal acquaint- moe with MT. Goodwin, had also the honor of seeing his book in manuscript and hearing the distinguished actor read several chapters from 1t at private aud- fence upon one occasion. therefore it is
 
 been perused
 Perhaps the most unique chapter in the book Is chapter LXXXVII, Number Five. which reads as follows
 'The day Ca beautiful day in May, 1913 such a day as only southern California at its happiest moments knows) I made Margaret Moreland my wife, and once again I set the buzzards and the gossips to wagging their ears and tongues and flashing their tails. q have always been sure both have tails)
 My first (wife) was an angel.
 My second, a silly woman.
 My third Roman senator.
 My fourth pretty little thing.
 My fifth-al woman,
 My whole (desire) was by repetition to prove that hope can conquer experiences.
