Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 27.-Cables this
morning were about as due, but our
market anticipates a bullish condition
report next Tuesday in consequence
of the heavy rains which have persist
ed in the eastern belt. The Journal of
Commerce report on Alabama and Mis-
sissippi increased this feeling and the
rumor that the national ginners' con-
dition figures would be 74.S also had
considerable influence on the market
Some Wall street covering and local
buying based on these views brought
about an advance nearly to the high
est prices reached on Monday.
On the advance there appeared to
be little or no outside business, and
the south was again a seller. 1t was
thought that some of the larger SELL
ing on the afternoons advance was
against cotton in the southwest, where
conditions remain favorable. The local
feeling is to anticipate further ad-
vance before Tuesdays report.

AYery's Letter

Another National Ginners' "rumor." this
time 7S.4, furnished the bulls with am
munition enough to force prices in the
cotton market ID about IA points today.
Bashford, Weld and Gwathmey were
put down as buyers. Bachman, Schil
and Sellars furnished most Of the con-
tracts.
A narrow market may be expected until
bureau day. Most of the bulls, basing
their arguments on the Journal Of Com
merce reports, look for a sharp decline
in condition during July Apropos Of
these condition figures, l maintain they
are of absolutely no value whatever as a
guide to the probable out turn.
For instance, the August l condition
in 1911 was SOL per cent, an increase OF
nine-tenths. In 1914 the condition on the
same date was 1874 per cent, decline of
80 per cent.
Furthermore, it will be noticed on q
condition of 1874 per cent of perfect we
raise the biggest crop ever known, and
on condition of S9.1 per cent of per
feet. we raise the next biggest The hg-
ure the government viii put out is any
body's guess and what it indicates is also
anybodys guess. c. f. AVERY

bears to continue their recent operations

changes as were recorded. The Mast half

WHEAT PRICES TAKE
WILD UPWARD TURN
Reports of Ruinous Condi-
tons From Black Rust
Send Prices Up

Chicago. July 27.--wild upturns in the
wheat market today carried values at
/ times nearly SC bushel higher than yes
terday's finish. Ruinous crop conditions
resulting from black rust and from heat
blight were pointed to in dispatches from
the spring wheat states, with continued
assertions that Canada was also affected.
The market closed unsettled at 33sd4c
net advance. with September, 81. 231zG1 232s
and December, $s1.2334c. Corn gained asd1c
and oats as@12c. In provisions the out
come ranged from 171ac decline to rise
of SC.
| Buying on a large scale began in the
wheat pit as soon as the market opened.
Even the most conservative authorities
admitted that the black rust was spread
ing and was also affected. The market
closed unsettled at 35sd4c net advance,
with September, s1.2314G1.23ss, and Decem-
Der, $1.26A. Corn gained Sole, and oats
| ss6ac. In provisions, the outcome ranged
| from 171ac decline to a rise of sc.
| On the other hand, much of the crop ad-
vices from the northwest was of so sensa-
\ tional character that commission houses
refused to assume the responsibility of
making the reports public. One of the
| largest railway systems traversing the
district affected gave out a statement that
| the development of black rust and of
| blight had been of alarming extent, and
| that in various sections the crop would
( be % to so per cent less than an average
| yield with much greater damage likely
| if the weather in the next few days con-
| tinued to be adverse.
| Some estimates on black rust damage
| to wheat in South Dakota ran as high
as so per cent. Thirty-two fields near
| Aberdeen, S. D.. were said to be mostly
not worth cutting. Stronger foreign mar
| kets and a better export demand mad
| a perceptible influence toward further
| emphasizing bullish sentiment and despite
| reactions due to heavy profit taking the
greater part of the days ADVANCE was
maintained at the close.
| Increasing reports of the corn crop 60
| ing backward on account of continued ex-
| tremely dry, hot weather resulted in high
| er prices for corn. The fact that large
| part of the crop is in the tasseling stage
and more than usually susceptible to dam
age was handicap for the bears.
| Oats made only limited response to
| the strength of other cereals. Field con-
| ditions were regarded as excellent for
| the harvesting of oats.
| Provisions weakened under liberal Of
ferings, especially from eastern holders Of
lard. Buying support was poor.

Discouraged Weather Prophet

From the Chicago News.
In certain town the local forecaster
of the weather who was so often wrong
that his predictions became a standing
joke, to his no small annoyance, for he
was very sensitive. At length, in despair
of living down his reputation, he asked
headquarters to transfer him to another
station
A brief correspondence ensued.
Why" asked headquarters. do you
want to be transferred?'
Because" the forecaster promptly re-
piled, the climate doesn't agree with

Some Echo
rom the Pathfinder.

From the Pathfinder.
A Killarney tourist was assured by a
guide that the echo on Dych Gill was
very fine. So off went the tourist to
hear it, and hired two men to row him
out, accomplishing the transaction SO
swiftly that there was no time for then
TO arrange for the usual echo to be in
attendance. In despair they broke an
car, and one swan ashore to fetch an
other. Then the echo began.
Good morrow cried the tourist
Good morrow" said the echo with q
fine brogue.
Fine day. bless it,"
"Foine day, God bless it," improved the
echo.
will you have drink?'' cried the
tourist.
"Begorra, 1 will" roared the echo.

Sugar Market

New York, July 27.-The dizziness which
has existed in the raw market for raw
sugar during the past week was broken
today when holders finally yielded in
their demand and met the ideas of re-
finers with the result that prices were
1-16c lower. Rumored sales were esti-
mated at about 100000 bags Cubas for
prompt and nearby shipment to local re-
finers at SIC cost and freight. The mar
ket closed at sac for Cubas cost and
freight, equal to SGT for centrifugal and
$50 for molasses.
In refined there was a little better In
quiry noted, but prices remained I'M
changed at 765 for fine graduated.
Futures suffered quite a severe setback
under continued liquidation by trade and
commission houses, prompted by the
easier ruling of the spot market. Closing
prices were four to nine points net lower.
