Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 25.-Another excit-
ing day, closing at an advance OF over
half cent in the widest market VIC
have been since the Sully year. The
buying came from the north and west or
reports that the national ginners' re-
pert would show condition OF 66.3
Strangely enough throughout these ex-
citing markets the cotton houses are
neither receiving the bad crop advices
upon which the outside houses are buy
ing. or are thev doing the usual busi-
ness from the southern which they
usually do in a short crop year?
There Is the same speculation in cot
ton goods as there is in cotton, tc
some extent fer the same parties.
Goods people report the trading equal
to 1907. with buyers taking prompt and
distai deliveries.
Our edvices from Texas from large cot
ton houses estimated that state from
4,125, 900, to 100000 bales.
A report was current that the Eng
fish government had made demand on
the Liverpool exchange that after Sep
TENDER l no American or continental &C
counts will be carried in Liverpool The
market closed excited.

SLUMP IS CHECKED
ON WHEAT MARKET
Foreign Purchases Rescue
Market From Dizziness and
Prices Advance

Chicago, Angst 25.-Free purchases OF
wheat by exporters rescued that mar
ket from eorlier doldrufs today and
the close was at the top with ad-
vances ranging from q C in May to an
extreme sc in September other pits
also advanced, corn &c to Ia @1%c,
oats B1Ac, and provisions 5@35c.
Indifferent cables and a lingering be-
lief that the market had had no suf-
ficient reaction after the sharp advances
brought out long wheat at the opening
and Immediately thereafter prices
worked off 2Ac under yesterdays
close before the slump was checked.
Many longs sold out and some profess
SIGNALS took a chance on the short side
in the face of the almost unanimous
bull propaganda. AS has been the case
every recent day on any kind of a break
foreigners came into the market at
premiums advanced to the highest of
the season. trade journal stated that
the milling demand was unprecedented.
This, with the crop damage reports, dry
weather in Argentina and the short
European crop maintained the funda-
mental strength of the situation dur
ing the day and paved the way for the
quick response to the foreign purchases.
Corn prices dipped reluctantly with
wheat after a higher opening but adj
vanced when the wheat upturn devel-
oped. 1t was reported that a ring of
New York cotton traders who have been
successful on the bull side of wheat
turned their attention to corn today for
a rise. There was a fair shipping in
quiry today and spot was quiet. Ar
gentine corn was said to be being fed
as that country is said to be enjoying
a heavy demand for meats.
The market for oats was strong and
active on the theory that this cereal
compared with others is relatively the
cheapest thing in the pits. Exporters
and commission houses were heavy
buyers. The exporters found it easy to
buy because of the hedging sales of
country holders who are said to be &C
cumu1ating supplies partly because OF
the car shortage The spot market was
strong and Ac higher.
Shorts and spectators were heavy
buyers of provisions. under which slim
illus prices advanced actively. Foreign
ers were said to be taking the goods.
Pork advanced 5@25c; lard 500 35c, and
ribs 10c.

change in the sugar situation, either as
regards the raw or refined markets, and

were more or less nominal, with Cubas,
cost and freight, offered at 4lsc, equal to
5.5oc for centrifugal and Also for mo-
lasSes.

the basis of 100 to 7.25c for fine. but
second hand sugars were selling as low

regular but generally easier. The start
was to points lower, owing to further
liquidation and tenders for about 1900
tons of September sugar. but toward mid
day prices rallied on covering and some
support from trade interests advancing to
within a point or two of last night 8
closing level. Towards the close, how
ever renewed selling set in and prices
eased off. closing s to points net lower.

4 $50; October, 40 to 4.3Sc. closing, 4.33c;
December. 4.20 to Also, closing, 4.16c:
