Don't Sell a Bale

answer to today's decline in the cot

it in the middle of the road was the
cause for the subsequent recovery in
values. There was only one fact in
the situation which could be construed
bearishly and that was the reported in
crease in insurance rates. In regard to
this I made inquiry as to whether the
government was still writing risks OF.

former activities of the German sub

This insurance question was the big
bryaboo which the bears paraded then

over. The American crop will prove but
little if any larger than last year and
the world is bare of stocks. Goods
prices are right now based on 20-cent

farmer: "Get yours" Don't sell bale

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October ESPECIALLY
The sbmarine activity almost in sight
of our shores may be expected to check
exports until overcome. in these war
times it may check the blind bullish
enthusiasm Of last week.
That would appear as conservative
view of an unparalleled situation.
Many large selling orders at the OPEN
ling broke the market down some 40
points from the previous close.
On the decline the local bulls were
free buyers, rs were some arbitrage

New York, October 9.--The market
for coffee futures showed greatly in
creased activity today with prices adj
vancing on apprehension over the
latest submarine developments. The
opening was at - to 20 points higher
on buying. which seemed chiefly from
Wall street sources. Prices eased off
some or points from the best dur
ing the middle of the day under real
izing and some trade selling which
may have been inspired by a feeling
that increased insurance rates would
be offset by the depressing influence
on Brazil of further restrictions on the
export outlet. Later. however, the mar
ket firmed up again, reaching the best
point of the day on more active scat
tering demand. with March selling at

900 bags Cubas had been sold for nearby

be confirmed, although there were 2o,0G0
bags of Cubas sold to local refners at
SC, cost and freight, for prompt ship
ment and 10000 bags of Porto Ricos from
store at equal to 6.O2c for centrifugal or
the same price as Cubas. The market
closed firm at sc for Cubas, cost and
freight. equal to 6.O2c for centrifugal and

RESIDENTS OBJECT
TO HAVING TANKS
NEAR PROPERTY
%AA%%~%~~~~N~~~'

A controversy has arisen between
the local management of the Standard
Oil Company and residents of the vi
cinity where the companys oil tanks
are located as a result of the prepa-
rations of the company to build more
tanks. The council has been called
in to arbitrate the differences or to
act as the court of judgment.
Recently the company purchased
two lots adjoining its present proper
ty between Aura and Jane streets
from the Basler estate and yesterday
took out permits for the moving of
the present tanks and the construc-
tions of new ones to take care of the
growing trade in gasoline. Objection
was at once made by property owners,
among them L. G. Frazier who is
rart owner of house and three lots
abutting the company's property. The
objection is that the new tanks would
be located within short distance of
houses, increasing the fire risk and
depreciating the market value OF the
property. .
The entire council made an inspec-
tion of the premises this morning and
will probably reach decision in the
near future.

HUGHES BEHAVIOR RELEASES
REPUBLICANS FROM SUPPORT

If there republicans whose minds are undecided
between Hughes and Wilson the news from Wall street
should be conclusive Yesterday it became known that
$l2OO,O00 extra" Hughes money being thrown into
the campaign in hopes of putting Hughes over Today
publication is made of a message from J. P Morgan,
Coleman Dupont and others sent on Sept asking
ference in behalf of the republican nominee.
No or OF intelligence will overlook the
meaning of such transactions Why the Wall street
magnates supporting Hughes and putting up so much
money for his candidacy?
If Hughes good for Wall street and for those
who want Mexico is he the right man for the rest
of our hundred million people?
What the relationship between this Wall street sup
port of Hughes and the Wall street desire to change the
federal reserve system into central bank?
Is there not relationship between this ardent sup
port and the fact Hughes opposes the Wilson shipping law
and favors ship subsidy instead?
Is it not reasonable to suppose there is connection be-
tween the large amount of Wall street money for Hughes
and the Hughes statement at Milwaukee that the Wilson
legislation should be wiped off the books.
In view of all the developments of the campaign should
any republican have scrupes about scratching his ticket
this year. is it not the part of good citizenship to pass up
Mr.. Hughes in favor of President Wilson?
