Hubbard Bros. & Co.,s Letter

New York, June 6.-(Special. Jour market today acted as though the ad- vance of last week had eliminated the short interest and that the large in crease in acreage had had effect upon the minds of the outside holders, in bringing about liquidation of part of their holdings. During the afternoon more selling of this character was the cause of the decline, which continued to the close. While the local traders have not given up the bull side, be- cause they look forward to many crop complaints, they are not so confident tonight. It looks now as though we had landed in war with Mixco, unprepared We do not expect large. tenders on July tomorrow.

ON A
 BROAD BASIS AGAIN
Mexican Situation Para mount Factor in Stock
 Market

New York, June 26.--Last weeks liquida- tion was resumed on broader basis to- day, the movement being one of almost steady declines, with some slight recov- cry at the close The Mexican situation was again the paramont factor, although other developments such as the federal court order directing the dissolution Of the Corn Products Refining company and less optimism regarding crop prospects helped to bring about the general shrink age of values.
 Corn products common, on an extraordi- nary large overturn made an extreme de- cline of 5N@191ac. with Ii for the pre- ferred at S5; Mexicans available losses of 9 to points with points for petroleum and motors and the war group were to points down, with 91a for Bethelehem steel before it rebounded., United States steel manifested actual heaviness for the first time in weeks, declining 1A@S2ac with but little recovery.
 The weakness of standard rails, par ticularly Reading, which also was the most active feature, was perhaps the most dis concerting feature of the session. or ferings of these stocks were most in sistent reading at its worst showing loss of 51h points. Other coalers, Cana dian Pacific, 'Soo," Union Pacific, New Haven and Southern railway preferred re- ceived i to points. Total sales of stocks amounted to 670,0OO shares.
 The Atchison system reported net 1n- crease of $1,554,0O0 for May, giving espe- cial point to the continued high pres sure of the western freight movement, which showed general gains of 10 to 15 per cent over last year. In the exchange markets the only noticeable change was the greater firmness of rates on Paris, foreshadowing the completion of the new French loan by our banks.
 Bonds were heavy, with general selling of the more speculative issue. Total sales, par value, 2,720,O00
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

acreage ever planted. These are the bear factors, as I see them.
 Whether the bullish factors of small supply and big demand together with the vicisitudes of weather conditions dur ing the critical months of July and Au- gust will offset the potential possibilities of the big acreage planted. I have not yet determined in my mind
 Of course. there is always the proba ble chance of heavy deterioration during July and August, and with old supplies ex- hausted the demand for the new crop as it moves may be great enough to sus- tain present values. In view of these facts I prefer scalping position for the present. c. F. AVERY.

Glenny & Co.,, and were stopped by Liverpool exporters and some by south ern spinners Judging by the resistance of the July option, the notices were stopped by those who want the cotton
 The market. late in the session, was under the influence of the weakness in of silly rumors about Japan protesting against our Mexican policy.
 A market in the process of liquidation like the stock market, is susceptible to rot of most any kind, and those stock speculators who have both cotton and stocks, invariably dump cotton to protect stocks This probably accounts for the slight weakness displayed in the cotton market near the close.
 There are decided conflicting influences in the cotton market at the present. which is paramount, for the immediate course of prices, it is rather difficult to decide.
 On the one hand the dwindling supplies and heavy consumption threaten exhaus- ton before new cotton can become very great weight the market.
 On the other hand, we have had ideal weather and unquestioned improvement in new crop conditions, and if the gov ernments acreage report approximates the New York Chronicles forecast of a 12h per cent increase in acreage, we have two bearish factors that cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the prices at pres ent prevailing discounts much of the sup ply and demand features of old crop con- ditions, and it is undeniab'y true. 131ac for October and December starts the new crop at very high levels, with an acre. age increase of 121a per cent eff con- firmed), which would make the largest

strange manner When the animal
noticed the stage it made directly for
the outfit and despite the efforts of
Mr. Wine; TO urge his team out Of

spent some time making attacks upon
and hooking the wagon. Strange TO
relate, however the mad animal did
not attack the horses and after short
time Mr.. Wines succeeded in Guiding
the steer. no damage being done. Mr..
Wines states that he does not wish TO

IN new ROAD
Jarbidge, Nevada,
March IA, 1916.

Considerable interest is being taken
here in camp in the road question, and
surveys are being run
down the river with the view OF find
ing a new route that will have less
show drifts than the present road.
The Crippen grade is very bad for
the draws between the top of the
grade and RattlesnaEc lIso have deep
drifts. It Is the opinion Of those who

road that a route can be surveyed
down the river and around these bad
snow banks. A public meeting was
called the evening of the 11th Of
March for the purpose of considering
the matter. A proposition was re-
ceived from George Shoup offering to
furnish the engineers for a thorough
survey of the different possible routes,
that the best and most available one
might be determined, together with
the probable cost Of building a good
read over same. The residents of the
camp voted to accept Mr.. Shoup's
proposition and to back him up to the
extent of furnishing axemen and 9th
er helpers and the supplies.
a committee was appointed to take
the matter in hand and the CONNER
cial Club which was instrumental in
calling the meeting. promised that the
club would be responsible for any de-
ficiency. The committee met with
very liberal contributions and prompt
donations, SO much so that a gang of
eight with complete camp outfits left
town this morning with four pack
horses 10 make complete reconais-
sance. The data thus obtained will be
supplied 10 the county commissioners
of Twin Falls. Owyhee and Elko coun.
