Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April -(Special)--The mar ket today was a quiet affair, with only a small amount of business transacted. There continued free liquidation in the near deliveries, which widened the diff ferences betwen tn two crops. As yet there is little disposition on the part of the south to sell forward, and there is a decided disposition on the part of the do- IT. estic manufacturers to cover a part of their forward requirements owing to the high prices and consequent wide margin now to be obtained in both goods and yarns.
 These purchases from time to time ab- sorb the cotton which is for sale and give a steady undertone to prices We do not quote any increase in the specula- tive demand, but as we have pointed out before, the local tendency is to be long rather than short of the market in ex- pectation of the possible conclusion of the war.

CHARGED WITH RoBB1NG DEAD

A trial of extraordinary interest being heard in the criminal court today is that of Tom Ratterree and John Crossley, who are charged with having robbed Arthur Gaboury, while he lay in an un- conscious condition alongside of the Louisville and Nashville railroad track just after the car in which he and Roy Watson were driving was hit by a loco motive.
 The accident is still fresh in the minds of the people, as both Watson, who was killed instantly, and Gaboury. who died 8 few hours later, were well known here The most intense interest is being mani fested. Further interest is being dis played by the morbid minded on account of the alleged 1oathsome act
 When court was called this morning, Judge Coleman, who is presiding, found the room filled to overflowing and dozens of people who came from Leatherwood and Jacksonville to hear the case. were not able to get into the room.

 "On which of these, my sons, shall I bestow my crown?"
 Immediately came voice from the gallery:
 Why not 'arf crown apiece. guv'- nor?"
