I Liverpool was much better than due
but the market was heavy in the early
trading. Brokers had large hedging sales
to fill and there was considerable uqul-
dation I'm evidence. Tho soft spot. how
ever tempted heavy buying for long ae-
count and there was a sharp rise around
the middle OF the morning. The advance
was fairly we'll maintained during this
remainder of the session.
The hesitation OF the market on the
opening and its subsequent easiness were
due In part to the fear that tho subma-
rine controversy was about to be re-
opened. This was quickly Offset by the
report that private crop reporting bu-
reau was out with condition figures
showing a drop of 5.3 points for the
month and by claims that the demand
for spots from American mills was

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 21.-The southern
merchants were good sellers at the open
ing this morning, the offerings being alb
sorbed by Liverpool straddlers covering
their short cotton in this market. After
the first hour some large lines which
were liauidated yesterday and the day
before were replaced and as the south
did not continue to sell the market grad
TALLY advanced to around 1910 for the
January option. Further buying was in
duced by a report that well known
Chicago house would issue very bullish
estimate of the crop for the month Of
September. There is very little pressure
on the market, although there was not
the general outside demand that had
been evident in the past few days,
which would indicate that our American
mills at least are not willing to follow
the advance at the present time over Ice.
On the other hand, the volume of hedge
selling from the south is disappointing,

EFFORT MADE TO
! DEPRESS PRICES
Stock Market Maintains Ac-
tivity and Record Sales
Are Continued

New York, September A.-The striking
feature of today's session, in which sales
ran well over 100000 shares for the thir-
teenth consecutive day, was the futile eff
Tort of an aggressive speculative faction
to depress prices. Initial quotations were
mainly higher, some substantially SO,
but series of bear attacks effaced this
advantage before the end of the first
hour, leaving the list rather unsettled
These tactics were successfully main
tanned until the middle of the day, when
conditions improved, chiefly in conse-
quence Of another and more general adj
vance i'll coppers, those issues responding
to announcement that producers and
agents had advanced the price of the
metal for November delivery to 2sl5c. The
new maximums were made by leading
metals, Anaconda rising to 951a, Utah to
Sess, and Inspiration to 64Ss. Related is
sues were correspondingly strong on fur
ther advances in lead, spelter and by
pr oducts. Dealings in the metal shares
were on the largest scale of the year,
amounting to about so per cent of the
whole.
United States Steel lifted the list to the
days highest level in the final hour, on
its advance to the new record of 1875
passing its previous top by almost a
point. Rails and other investments
moved up l to more than points, gains
being effected almost wholly at the ex-
pense of the short interest, which sur
rendered such prospective profits as the
previous days irregular market may
have yielded.
Many minor issues. such as feathers,
sugars, MeXicans and some equipments,
participated more or less generally in the
recovery, with shipping stocks and mo-
tors. a conspicuous exception was Cen
eral Motors, which fell s. points to $780,
that decline, however, hardly offsetting
it's recent advance of 10 points. Total
sales of stocks amounted to 1,355,OO0
shares.
Francs and marks we're slightly firmer,
with other foreign remittances unaltered
More gold was reported to be on the way
from England, and French credit nego-
tiations were continued.
Bonds were strong, with an increased
demand for investments. Total sales, PAL
value, aggregated $3970,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call, with coupon As u per cent lower on
sales.

WHEAT PRICES TAKE
RALLY ON BUYING.
Market Hardens on Sugges-
ton That Liverpool Quota
tons Were Artificial

Chicago, September 2.-Wheat prices
rallied today largely on account of Euro
pean buying which developed after a de-
cline here due more or less to lower quo
tations at Liverpool. The close was firm
at s15o1s for December and sl.51 for May
with the market as a whole a cent off to
"A cent up as compared with yesterday $
finish Corn closed u to "a Of a cent
down to % of a cent advance oats at a
loss of 1s to % of a cent, and provisions
ranging from 1914 cents decline to a rise
of 10 cents.
Depression ruled in the wheat pit until
suspicion was aroused that Liverpool
quotations had been lowered to facili-
tate European buying in the United
States. Liverpool advices gave a diff
ferent reason, namely, that increased
shipments were expected from Australia
annd Argentina. There were reports, also,
of rains in Argentina, where OF late a
serious drouth has prevailed. AS soon,
however, as gossip spread that the break
in Liverpool quotations was artificial and
mainly for effect on this side of the
Atlantic, the market here began to har-
den.
sudden Withdrawing OF wheat offerings
resulted, and estimates were current
that fully 20 per cent of European pur-
chases in the last few days had been of
wheat grown in the United States An
nouncements were made just before the
close that vessel charters for Europe
during the day had reached an aggregate
of 10000 bushels.
Corn swayed with wheat, especially in
the last part of the session.
Oats sagged in consequence Of les
SEEMING of export sales. Weakness, though,
was checked in a measure by spreaders
who were purchasing oats ana at the
same time selling corn.
Lower quotations on hogs carried down
provisions. After a moderate setback,
however, good buying developed and
brought about reaction, particularly in
lard.
Eutura nrotations were as follows.

Ayery's Letter

Despite a good Liverpool. our marke
opened lower on expectation of more
hedge selling. This pressure failed tc
materialize, however, and shorts became
alarmed and ran to cover which caused
they lost yesterday and there was an alb
sence of the selling pressure which was
so prominent around yesterdays high
level
A prominent western spot house was
said to be on the eve of issuing a very
bullish condition report, which induced
buying from that section.
The weather is ideal over the entire
belt, which will result in heavy move
ment. The next census ginning report
which will be published on the same
day, October 2, as the government
condition report. will no doubt show very
heavy ginning for the past month while
the condition report one hour later is
expected to be very low.
We hear of several spot houses who
have recalled their representatives from
certain sections of Alabama and Missis-
sippi on account of the short crop, the
supply of spot cotton being so small they
do not consider it justfies keeping a
buyer at these points.
Spots today were quoted unchanged to
70 points advance, with sales heavy in
the early sections, which shows the ex-
istence of a good demand.
Sharp reactions are probable at any
time, but we advise sticking to the long
side.

New York September 21.-An early
