Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 26.-(Special.) We have had a much quieter market today, due to a falling off in outside interest caused by the prospect of some action in Liverpool to prevent trading for American and continental account and to a growing feeling that we have discounted many of the poor crop &C., counts at this extraordinary high level of prices. Just what action has been taken by the Liverpool exchange under pressure from the government no one exactly knows, but 1t is evidently as- sociated with the desire to place all the export cotton business in the hands of Englishmen who would have to pay taxes to Great Britain while the Ameri- can might not, and also to prevent any great export of gold in connection with arbitrage transactions. The matter is very much involved and no one knows just what Is intended. Then with cotton at this basis many of the reports from the south are showing an improvement as the rains in the Atlantic states came just when needed. Later detailed reports from Texas show rain at more places than expected. The market was bought up from the low point in the same spectacular manner as of late and was some 3 to points lower on the curb. There is a pressure on Octo- Der from hedges against spots and there are some indications that one or more of the bulls are realizing on their holdings. General sentiment, however, Is very bullish.

Avery's Letter

Liverpool being closed today our market opened at practically un- changed prices, but met considerable realizing sales, which ran prices down about 10 points. Fresh buying was at tracted at this level which caused a quick recovery, and the market was steady throughout the remainder of the short session.
 There was no change In weather con- ditions and very little indication of rain in the drouth section of the west. Crop reports continue bad and much higher prices are expected later in the season.
 The market has had phenomenal advance during the week just closed, which is invariably followed by re- action. While there Is no sign of weak ness so far, it is advisable to be cau- tious in making new commitments. Spots continue firm with several points showing a further advance in quota tions.
 The market closed 8 to 10 points above yesterdays finals. Favor taking profits on long cotton and waiting for a reaction to replace it. Strongly ad- wise against taking the short side.
