Hubbard Bros. X Co.'s Letter

New York. February 0.-(Special) )--Liv- erpool surprised every one by advancing in face of the pessmistic tone Of our trade. who do not feel the improved coll dition of affairs in Manchester, due of course. largely to contracts for war sup plies. Our trade here continues to be very bearish and do not believe the advance abroad can be sustained They feel that tho large export takings for the past two weeks represent old business at lower prices for cotton and that the demand will not continue
 There seems to oe little speculation, but the investment holders still retain the larger portion of their pure ases at lower levels.

 Country's Offerings

Chicago, February 9.-Revival of for eign buying more than offset an increase Of country offerings today in wheat. As a result the market closed steady at ssm a4c net advance. Corn gained 1ssQ1&c to 1sfc net. and oats 7sd1c to 11sc. In pro- visions the outcome was 10a12lsc to 3oc decline.
 Wheat traders who usually act for sea board export houses were conspicuous in the purchasing here of the May de- livery and it was said good deal of European business was done at the sea board, but not made public. In addition cash handlers here were known to have sold 12o,OC0 bushels for export by way of the gulf. and to have received bids foi more. Corn showed strength from the start. sharp falling off in the movement from . the country helped to advance prices and there was an improvement of export demand.
 Oats developed unusual firmness despite free profit-taking by holders. Heavy receipts of hogs acted as a weight on the provision market.
