Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 31.-(Specia1) The government report was lower than expected and brought about a sensa- tional advance from 15.75c to 16.42c for January, though closing few points lower. A decrease in the condition in the Atlantic states was surprise. as all private advices have reported an improvement there during the month, which has been confirmed by the weather map.
 At these high prices the north and west are buying the cotton, the south is selling, believing in higher prices Usually we have the south sending poor crop accounts, with buying orders; they are sending selling orders in a moderate way. Local sentiment is very bullish with hardly anyone looking for lower prices. After the close rains are reported at Lawton. Chickasha and Ho- bert, Okla.
 Liverpool is expected 80 Liverpool points higher tomorrow.
 The spot market advanced 65 points; sales on the spot 100 bales, on con- tract 300 bales. Midd1ing, 16.4oc; last year, 9S5c. October closed at s.s2-Sc; last year, 68-9c.

charles Fairchild & Co.,s Letter

New York, August 31.-(Special)-The Liverpool market this morning opened slightly easier and showed 9 rather ner- vous tone. Shortly before our opening 1t broke sharply and first New York prices were from Il to 15 points below yester- days closing. Good buying, however. forced prices up moderately. Upon pub lication of the government condition fg- ures of 61.2 prices began to climb. Oc- tober sold at 16.3Sc against the opening of 15. 54c December, 1o40c. against 15.61c; January, 16.42c against .63c. With later months showing propvrtionate advances. The report was in line with our views, as expressed repeatedly by wire and mail the last 10 days It was apparent to us that the cotton world was facing the most calamitous condition seen in recent years. The market, however, has advanced to such levels and within such a short space of time that mill and trade interests felt that the price discounted all possible damage and that substantial reaction was in order Today's condition figures, however were the final evidence of an extremely short crop and will be so re- garded by the cotton world. The crop Is two or three weeks late in many sections. An early frost is not an inpossbility tn a season which has displayed so many freakish tendencies. 1t will doubtless be the next bull card. We expect higher prices, but in view of the advance of over 300 points since August 1 we would buy only on reactions, which are bound to occur in the big markets likely to prevail from now on.
 oil had another spurt today. December closed yesterday at s.62c; 1t closed today at 9.90c, after selling at 9.9Sc; it is stiTl cheap We expect to see it cross O.50c shortly. Next to cotton. cotton seed oil and cotton seed are next in order. We think seed Is worth $75 per ton. We favor holding. It looks like year of plenty for the south.

On the whole, how ever, the days business was light only 10000 bags being purchased by a local refiner at 37sc, cost and freight, but there was more inquiry at that level, with hold CTS asking fractionally higher prices. The advance in futures also had stim- ulating effect and the market closed firm on the basis of S7sc for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 4.S9c for centrifugal and 4.12c for molasses
 There was little better inquiry noted for refined sugar, but business was by no means up to the average owing to the high level of prices when compared to raws Quotations remained unchanged at 7Q725c for fine granulated. The fact that refiners had at last com menced to take a little more interest in raws started a heavy general 5uying movement in the market for sugar fi- lures and prices at one time showed net advances of "A to 35 points for the active positions Shorts were active buyers. as were also trade interests, but realizing checked the advance and prices eased of few points with. the list closing 26 to 32 points net higher.

BY virtue of expiration of the
ninety day limit the General As
sembly of Maryland expired on
Monday night, and few are sorry.
Harking back to those beautiful
campaign promises, and the
splendid legislative and economy
programs held up to the voters, it
looks to the ordinary layman as
not unlikely that the Democratic
party will have a lot of explaining
to do when another campaign rolls
around.
Little legislation that was really
worth while was enacted, and
weeks of the session were wasted
the way bills were jammed through
in the closing hours Of the session,
to make up for lost time, being
ridiculous, and making the whole
legislative scheme little short of a
farce.
True, bills aplenty were passed,
but they are nothing as compared
to that reform" program the PEG
pie had been led to believe would
be followed, after the searching in
vestigation and report Of the Good
now commission, and it is small
wonder everybody is Disguised.
But the people are easily fooled
and soon forget, and ere another
campaign comes all will be forgiven
and the rank and file line up as
usual when the "party'' whip
cracks.
