Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. May Special. i've felt the effect of the beginning of tire crop reports this morning when It was rumored that the ginners would esti- mate the crop conditions about f0. Liverpool being strong on the cover ing of cotton lost at sea, this market felt the demand from both sources and in fact of heavy and active real izing a times. IL closed at the high est point on advance of some 50 points. The support came from mass of new outside buyers. who expect any num- ber of low crop accounts now that the first one has been received. Warm weather, with showers in Texas and probably continued warm weather over the cotton belt is to be expected. The idea is universally bullish, with the only sellers those who take profits and against cotton as 1t comes out on the advance in the south.

Bradstreet's Review

New York, May 25.-Bradstreet's will say:
 Distributive trade laas under check re- ceipts imposed by inordinately high prices, particularly of food. unseasonabl bly, cold weather and the practice of econ- omy, but the country's leading industries, confronted as they are by demands that seem unsuitable, proceeded to new high ground, while the crop situation has taken on a better color and the stock market reflects more confident optim- ism. Moreover. evidence developing from day to day indicates that the industries instead of getting respite from over whelming activity will undergo further straining to care for the needs of the war. The iron. steel. textiles, fuel, lum- Der, ship building and machinery trades looms large in point of activity. with the signs pointing to even greater pressure. Car shortages still cause complaint, the lumber, flour milling and coal indus tries being especially hampered Bank clearings, $5,619.59s. .0O0 an increase of oO. g per cent over last year.

J. s. STEEL MAKES ANOTHER SWING UP Entire List of Industrial and Munition Stocks Follow
 This Leader

New York May 25.-Industrial stocks were again the striking features of to- days extremely active market, United States Steel being the pivot around which trading most often evolved Steel re- corded the new maximum of 1S4 at an extreem advance of 2ss points, and closed at very slight recession from the top
 Almost the entire list of equipments munitions, metals shipping, oils and / many unclassifed issues followed in the wake of Steel That stock was dealt in to the extent of 430,000 shares, or about 20 per cent of the days dealings.
 There were frequent pauses and irregu- lar recessions, but almost every setback gave way to a fresh buying wave which sent quotations higher than before. Profit taking or realizing exercised little effect until the final hour, when some of the more speculative issues yielded 1 to 2 points.
 Public participation was factor of no small importance. The leading com- mission houses had many overnight or ders, these again emanating, according to report, from interior centers.
 The heaviness of rails constituted all most the sole drawback to the days bull ish operations. Delaware and Hudson had a recurrent spell of weakness fall ing over points, but making up half of its losses. Other stocks of that di- vision suffered irregular declines with coalers. The latter were depressed on further intimations of forthcoming fed eral price regulation.
 High priced specalties were in fair de- mand, Sears -Roebuck advancing almost points, Union Bag and Paper 6s and h. dustrial Alcohol 3s4. Motors denoted short covering and sugars also improved for the same technical reason. Total sales amounted to 100000 shares.
 Payments by this government of $150- oo00O0 to Great Britain and Italy repre- sented credits already granted to both countries and effected no alteration in exchange rates to London and Rome. Francs were a trif1e higher and rubes reacted slightly.
 The activity of Lackawanna Steel bonds at an advance of points was the chief incident in the steady bond market. To- tai sales, par value, aggregated s4,150,000
 United States and Panama bonds ruled 14 to 1 point lower on call.

Ex-Governor Albert Gilchrist ar
rived in Tallahassee on Sunday night
and will stop few days at the Leon.
Fvervore in Tallahassee is his warm,
personal friend, and upon the occas-
ion of each of his visits, he is shower
ed by flowers from the tots who
bring them to him in generous guam
titles. and by the good wishes of his
old neighbors and admirers ct the
capital city.
The vegetables which are growing
in boxes filed with Everglades sOtI
il front of the Leon hotel, are de-
veloping almost by magic, the COM
bination Of Tallahassee climate and
the rich soil from the Everglades
section making q combination hard
to beat. 1t has been suggested that
these vegetables be sold to the high
est bidder after they have reached
their full growth, and the proceeds
given to some worthy cause. Potatoes,
cabbage. lettuce, onions, radishes,
etc, are all flourishing in the sun
shine, and the display has been a re
markedly interesting one, both among
those directly, and indirectly interest
ed in the drainage of the Everglades.

Ordained, That the National Order

country in the crisis now confronting
US. That we pledge our loyalty and

pert for the United States forestry
department. has arrived in Ta'.ahas-
see. and will so before the commit
tees in tho interests Of the forest tle
bill which has been held back until his
arrival.
Mr.. Peters is one Of the best in
formed persons in the country on for
estrv, and IS the bills come directly
in line with conservation, it is hoped
bv its promoters that its practical
use NAV insure its favor in both
houses. Dade county, for instance,
has lost one hundred thousand dol
lars worth Of citrus groves in four
years on account Of its Inadequate
protection against forest fires, and its
lack of facilities either to fight or
to prevent these fires. Valuable lands
all over the state are being damaged
by the destruction OF humus which IS
notable after a fire, and Mr.. Peters
is the man chosen to put these and
many other arguments before the
committees in a manner which will
convince thez. He is spending a few
DAYS at the Leon hotel.
The members of the legislature,
